Murray was a member of the militia unit the Hayneville
Guards that was organized in 1859. He was enrolled on April
17, 1861 for 12 months in Captain J. J. Willingham's Company at
Hayneville, Lowndes County Alabama. He enlisted with the rest of
the Hayneville Guard on May 16, 1861 in Montgomery Alabama and
became Company E, 6th Alabama Volunteer Infantry Regiment. March
1862 the Army of Northern Virginia was re-organized and Company
E became Company M. He
was serving as a sharpshooter. He appears to have been
transferred to the 5th Alabama Infantry before or after he was
wounded (when and where). He was on leave when he was captured
at Petersburg Virginia. He was finally paroled on June 17, 1865
and had to walk home a long way from Point Lookout Maryland to
Lowndes County Alabama. Contributed by Caroline
