The
Autauga Rifles was organized at Independence Alabama in May 1861, was camped a few
days at Autaugaville and was ordered to Corinth Mississippi. We left home with
one hundred men, with Dr. T. A. Davis, Captain, W. F. Davis, 1st
Lieutenant, H. L. Golson, 2nd Lieutenant, L. A. Pou, 3rd
Lieutenant, G. H. Thompson, 1st Sergeant. From Corinth we were
ordered to Manassas Virginia and remained near there during the summer. In
June we lost our first member from disease, W. O. DeJarnette and during the
summer we lost from camp fever J. J. Willis, A. J. Dodson, John Hampton and W.
Wiggins. In March 1862, we broke up winter quarters and were sent to Yorktown.
Here we lose another member from sickness, one of our best boys, loved by
every one who knew him, David Jones, a messmate. While camped here we were
joined by over one hundred men from home. The time of our enlistment being
about to expire, we re-enlisted for the war and elected L. A. Pou, Captain, R.
G. Golson 1st Lieutenant, G. H. Thompson 2nd Lieutenant,
J. D. Perry 3rd Lieutenant, J. M. Thompson 1st Sergeant.
Still in the 6th Alabama with John B. Gordon Colonel. In the later
part of April we fell back to near Richmond where we remained until the Battle
of Seven Pines. Captain Pou was disabled by a wound in his arm and left us to
return to home.
The
origin of the Autauga Rifles is described in the April 25, 1861, issue of the Autauga
Citizen:
Autauga
Volunteers - Several of our leading men are now engaged in getting up a rifle company
to be called the Autauga Rifles, and which is now nearly completed, to be
tendered to the Confederate States. The
Prattville Dragoons, a fine looking company, numbering about sixty men, have
already tendered their services and will be received.
At least one hundred and fifty Antiguans have already gone to the
wars, they having joined the different companies that have been formed in the
counties of Dallas, Lowndes, and Montgomery.
We do not like this, as Autauga receives no credit for it.
But our patriotic old county will soon have two as fine companies in
the field as ever marched to repel an invading foe, and we feel satisfied that
they will give a good account of themselves if they have an opportunity.
Our patriotic citizens have liberally subscribed for the families of
those who could not leave home without some provision being made for their
wives and children. Mr. Pratt,
our liberal and patriotic townsman, subscribed five hundred dollars, and
agreed to put down ten times as much more if it should be necessary.
Messrs. Doster, Northington, Tarleton, and others whose names we do not
now remember, have also subscribed liberally.
Autauga will do her duty.

DEATH NOTICES FROM THE SOUTHERN SIGNAL January 7, 1881 (continued): Died on the 24th of November, 1880, at his home in Autaugaville, in the 54th year of his age, Mr. Pierce H. DeBARDELABEN…Sources: Larry E. Caver, Jr. Prattville, Alabama Lecaverjr@aol.com
Borrowed from Web site listed Below: The German pronunciation of the name is Bar-de-LAY-ben. Arthur's son Henry went to Alabama (Autauga) and at some point he (or some of his sons) began spelling the name like it was pronounced - DeBardelaben. Later, some descendants of these son's decide to change the name back to DeBardeleben. There are families where brothers sign their names differently from each other. There are documents signed by these people over time in which they themselves have switched back and forth. These changes took place in the 1820 - 1890 period. All of the DeBardelaben families today have a connection to Autauga County, Alabama.

“
A Company For The War- We are pleased to learn that Bolling Hall, Jr.,
son of Maj. Bolling Hall, of this county, has just returned from his regiment
in Virginia, duly authorized by the Secretary Of War to raise a company for
the war, and now is in our midst using every effort to raise a company, with a
fair prospect of success.
The Commander of his regiment, Col. J.J. Seibles, recommended him to the Secretary as a gentleman of sober, steady habits, and generous, gallant and brave, and in every particular well qualified to command a company. His knowledge of military matters, he having graduated at a military school and been in actual service ever since the war began, peculiarly fits him for a leader, and we know of no gentleman we would sooner enlist under than our friend Bolling Hall, Jr. Now is the time for our young men to enlist. The enemy is at our very doors, and unless we rally to the rescue of our bleeding country, the invader will soon desolate our homes, destroy our property”
A town meeting was held at Kingston which successfully recruited 125 men for Bolling Hall Jr.’s command. The company was named the Fitzpatrick Blues. Bolling Hall, Jr. and his company of Autaugians were organized into the 59th Alabama Infantry as Company "B". Bolling Hall, Jr. was promoted to Colonel.

|
| Diagnosed with Ascites, an excess build up of fluids within the body’s organ cavity region, he was treated and then transferred to the C.S.A. General Hospital at Dansville, Virginia on November 3, 1862. This condition is associated with several diseases, but most likely was caused from a bacterial infection. He was treated for Rheumatism (Arthritis) as well. Returned to duty in late December of 1862, Andrew shortly fell sick again and was admitted to the 2nd Alabama Hospital at Richmond, Virginia for about one month. After a 3-month battle with his illness, he made a successful return to duty on January 17, 1863. Andrew survived the hard fought battles at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. His luck ran thin again at Spotsylvania during the two weeks of battle there from May 8-21, 1864. Records indicate Andrew received a severe wound to his hand and was admitted to the General Hospital at Howard’s Grove in Richmond, VA on May 15, 1864. |  |
| He was transferred once
again to the C.S.A. General Hospital on May 23, 1864 with his registered
complaint as “Vul Sclopeticum hand”, a gun wound to the hand.

He was still listed absent on furlough June 30, 1864, but shown present

31 1864.
Andrew remained present with the 6th through the end of the war and was present at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General U.S. Grant.

After the war, Andrew remained in the Independence area of Autauga County where he and Parthenia raised fourteen children, James, Thomas, Sally, Mary E., Laura, Martha, Astoria, Frances, John, William, Magnolia, Ida, Cora, and Henry.

appears to have died sometime before 1850. "Early
next morning we were ordered forward and were soon under a terrible fire. While
getting into position we lost Henry Jones, a noble boy, who had recently joined
us. He fell near me and his cries for me to help were indeed pitiful. As we were
halted a few seconds the Captain ordered me to see what he wanted. As I stooped
down and begged him if possible to crawl a few feet to the rear and get out of
danger so the Ambulance Corp could get him, he gave a quick painful look and
turned his bloody face to the ground. Our line was moving forward and as I took
my hand from him to go a huge parrot shell struck him and shattered his body to
fragments."

JONES, William A. (Private, Company G, 6th Alabama Infantry Regiment) Jimmy....I've been working on another mystery of sorts. In the Jones2 cemetery where there is a CSA marker for David Jones of Co. G, there is also a CSA marker at the headstone for a William Jones buried there born September 1828 died September 1892. I checked the record for William A. Jones Co. G 6th Ala resided in Kingston enlisted age of 16 and he was discharged in November 1862 for being underage. The above William would not have been underage as he was born in 1828 and would have been about 33 when he enlisted. I searched the census records for a William A. Jones and found him in Kingston in 1850 age 5 living with his parents Jessee R. & Elizabeth Jones. They were living inside the boundaries of the Prattville beat in 1860 and had William at 13 yrs of age....a few yrs shy of the 10 yrs past since the 1850 census age of 5. I have not found his burial spot or any other info, but I believe this is the correct William A. Jones of Co. B and the William Jones in the Jones2 cemetery has incorrectly been identified as serving in Co. B 6th Al Inf. Do you have any other record or knowledge of another William Jones in the 6th? Barry N.

cause they loved so well. Lieut. James L. Wilkinson received a mortal wound in

could not speak to those around him. How much we missed him. None can conceive
except those who shared his company through so many trying scenes. No words
can express the feelings that overcame us that night as we spread our blankets
on that stricken field alone…." Sources: Reminiscences of The

which they belonged of which I was a member. Henry was faithful to us on all
occasions and of the daily prayers that went up for our success and safety,
his was always among them.
Pardon me just here to relate an incident that occurred to show the fidelity of this faithful servant. When Lieut. James L. Wilkinson was killed at Spotsylvania, he constructed a rude coffin and buried him beside Newel M. Stoudenmire, a messmate of ours, who had been killed a few days before. Lieutenant Wilkinson had a gold coin given him by his mother when he first left home which he prized and carried as a souvenir. Henry found this in his pocket, with some other things, which he turned over to the Captain of our company, and are still in possession of his mother’s family. He nailed a board above their graves on the trees under which they lay, and after the war Dr. John Wilkinson and N. M. Stoudenmire’s father took Henry with them to Virginia and brought their bodies home with them, also the remains of L. T. Golson, who was killed at Chancellorsville….."
