NOTE: Just wanted to thank you for the obvious hard work to put into organizing the 6th at the web site I just visited. I am the gGrandson of John J. Coe, Priv. and have gathered his history since the late 60's. His baby daughter, Josephine Coe Cherry, spent many hours telling me as much as she knew about her father. He was wounded four times. Among his wounds, he had his middle finger shot off one of his hand and carried a minnie ball in one of his kidneys til his death. I'm not sure, but think he got that one a Gettysburg. I also communicated with the gentleman who submitted the historical data and while he is not a close descendant, I greatly appreciate the time he spent on this data. There is one small error that I am aware of. Catherine, his second wife, was my ggrandmother and her parents were Lewis Benton and his fourth wife Mary (?). Henry was her half brother and the Mary mentioned his wife. John J. moved to Warrington and was a neighbor of Lewis and Mary and their brood. Catherine was only a child then and after J. J.'s first wife died, she became the second Mrs.. Coe. I only take the time to tell you of this because as an amateur genealogist I wouldn't want future researchers to use this as a base for research. Thanks again and if I can ever be of assistance, please advise. Robert J. "Bob" Cherry

"Sweet Alabama"
Sweet Alabama: my native land,
How dear thou art to me!
Were all the world at my command
I still would cling to thee.
My boyhood home could I forget?
Though I might be forgot.
For those I love are living yet
In that dear cherished spot.
Sweet Alabama! Though now a man
Where ever I may roam,
My heart I know it never can,
Forget my boyhood home.
One only hope, one only care,
Next that of heaven above--
That I might once again be there;
Once more with those I love.
Those kindred hearts, those loving friends
and all my boyish pets,
Would welcome me and make amends
For all my past regrets.
But Oh! It may never prove
Again to be my happy lot.
Then all I ask of those I love
One thought, forget me not.

PRICE, Ervin M., (Officer Company A, 6th Alabama Infantry Regiment) (resigned, 21 Oct 62)
PRICE, Jon Edward, (Assistant Surgeon Captain, 6th Alabama Infantry Regiment) Dr. Jon Edward Price of Headland Henry County Alabama was a member of Company A. Henry Grays. He enlisted as a Private in May and was promoted to Surgeon Captain by President Davis. Dr. Price showed up in Abbeville Alabama circa 1845, but I have not determined where he was before that time. His father Joseph died in South Carolina in 1832 and Jon was born 2 September1826 in Columbia South Carolina it is possible that he had a brother named Joseph T. born in 1830 or 31. It seems the family moved to Terrell County Georgia. But Jon E. Price was in Alabama early he married Mila Kirkland in 1846 they had five children. Robert, Kate, Mattie, Laura, and Anna Belle. All of them grew up in Abbeville. A family member told me that Dr. Price went to Medical School in Mobile. It may have been the one that Dr. John Wyeth founded. He rode with Bedford Forrest. He served in the Sixth Alabama but was ordered by a Medical board to resign because of his heart. He then enlisted in the Henry Mounted Rebels 1 January1863 and served for the war. He was the units' doctor I assume because his occupation was a practicing physician listed on the Henry Mounted Rebel Roster. He was one of the pioneer doctors in Henry County, he is listed on the Henry Historical Registrar as one. He died 26 March 1898, he sat down on the porch of a local business and had a heart attack and died. My ggGrandmother Laura Emma Solomon Oates was his daughter. I am planning to get his Confederate Service Records I will give you any information that is in them. I do have Mila Price's widow's pension around here somewhere. It only gives the usual stuff Rank Surgeon Captain, Company and he never deserted his unit. Which is on most of these questionnaires. He was of Welsh ancestry, and Methodist by faith and Royal Arch Mason, Third degree. Source: Jacob L. Bateman III or Le.

He enlisted December 1862 with Company A, 6th Alabama Infantry Regiment. This unit was organized at Columbia, Alabama and was first known as the "Columbia Blues'. Dr. Powers was educated in dentistry before the war and practiced in Blakely after the war. The colors of this company were folded at Appomattox under Lieutenant Colonel Culver. The first Captain T. T. Smith resigned and Thomas Bell was then made Captain. Captain Bell was killed during the Battle of Seven Pines. Dr. Powers was then made Captain serving until the end of the war. He was Captain of this company longer than any other man. He was severely wounded about the mouth and chin and his lower teeth were shot out. He retired in June 1864. Dr. Power's brother, Edward Short Powers served the duration of the war as First Sergeant in the 46th Alabama Infantry Regiment. He was captured at Vicksburg after being severely wounded.

SMITH, Thomas Tipton (Captain, Company A, 6th Alabama Volunteer Infantry Regiment) November 18, 1819 - February 10, 1886. Thomas was born in Virginia the 16th child of Skelton and Jane Cosby Yancey both born in Virginia. He married Elanor Wyvial, 1820- 1884. They had two sons, Sergeant Bartlett A. Smith, Company A, 6th Alabama, June 18, 1843 died. in Mississippi on May 21, 1863 and James K. (R.) Smith, unknown regiment, October 8, 1841 and died at Fort Delaware in 1863.
When Captain Thomas Tipton Smith mustered in his "Henry Blues" it was on the grounds of this old plantation which at that time had a post office called "Egypt, Alabama." I know not the origin of the name unless it was in reference of the many dark skinned residents on the Smith Plantation. Thomas Tipton Smith opened the post office of Egypt on August 20, 1858 and was the first postmaster. He served in this post until he left for the War for Southern Independence and the office closed. After Democratic rule was regained in Alabama in 1874, the office was reopened as "Smithville" on February 16th of that year and operated until 1905.
The "Henry Blues" sailed away to war, legend has it, from Smith's Bend to Fort Mitchell and then railed to the battlefields of Virginia.
Half-brothers Bartlett Smith, II and Thomas Tipton Smith migrated to Henry County from Tennessee and before that Virginia where their parents lived.. Barlett Smith resided mostly in Old Columbia where he was a businessman of great success. Barlett built the plantation home on the River after a prosperous business career, trading with the Indians in earliest days from a post in Georgia. Barlett and his personal coachman, January Smith, an African slave, were both charter members of the First Baptist Church of Columbia circa 1830 that then sat in the ancient Columbia Cemetery, next to the Columbia Institute (college) in antebellum times. The Columbia Institute sat where my alma mater, Houston County High School (a 1936 W. P. A. building) stands today.
Barlett Smith married Chattahoochee Planter royalty when he married Eliza Grace, daughter of Colonel James Grace and sister of Hariett Grace Bennett, wife of Colonel James Bennett who had the largest plantation home, "The Mansion", the largest property holdings Henry County, Alabama and Early County, Georgia with a ferry to shuttle slaves and materials across the swift Chattahoochee River. When Bartlett's wife Eliza Grace Smith died of cancer in July 1843, Bartlett summoned his wealthy widowed sister, Sara Smith Jackson from Tennessee to join him on the Henry County plantation. She brought with her great wealth and many more slaves. Barlett died just 5 months and 10 days after his beloved wife Eliza leaving all of the Smith wealth to Sara Smith Jackson who in turn summoned the young Thomas Tipton Smith from Tennessee to give to him the plantation. She died in 1855 leaving the vast Smith estate to Captain T. T. Smith.
The plantation home that Bartlett Smith built circa 1836 was recently destroyed by the Smith descendants who had grown weary of historic groups begging, pulling and tugging about the preservation of this the oldest of the Chattahoochee River plantation homes in Henry County remaining. So, as their rights are, the family bulldozed the old house and burned it. I played in this old plantation home as a child with the children of Yancey W. and Mary Wallace Smith who lived in it before building a red brick home just to the south of the old home in the mid-1960s. Yancey Smith was according to Mrs. Marvin Scott "the great-grandson of T. T. Smith and great-great grandson of Bartlett Smith [, I]." Yancey Smith was the leader of a segregationist movement in the 1960s--a real firebrand of the time, gaining early interest from the southeastern Henry County area that waned quickly.
I have never in all of the old stories and legends of the Smiths heard of the large family. A descendant of the Smith family, Olice Carter, son of Buck and Helen Smith Carter could give me some answers and I will attempt to contact him.
The history of the Smith family is illustrious and is saved for us by the late Helen Yancey Smith, wife of Olice Cleveland "Buck" Carter of Haleburg. Mrs. Smith was an excellent historian and spent a life time of reconstructing what the Smith family worked for and accumulated before the invading Army of the Yankees moved into the sovereign Confederate States of America in 1861. The rages of war and reconstruction ("further-destruction of the South) era took a heavy toll that was never regained by the Smiths.

(See Wadell's Artillery) He returned to Henry County and married Mary Elizabeth McKissack, eloping on horseback across the Chattahoochee River to Ft. Gaines, Georgia on February 5, 1869. This caused quite a stir by Mary's father John McKissack as James was taken into the McKissack home as an orphan. Mary was born March 21, 1851 in Henry County. Around 1875, James and Mary moved to Scott County, Mississippi near Homewood where they farmed when he was able on the old family homestead of 40 acres. He died of TB "something like cancer" on February 14,1914 according to Mary's Civil War pension application from 1910. He was buried at High Hill Cemetery, Norris Community, near Homewood, in Scott County, Mississippi. Together they had 5 children. Mary died August 3, 1924 and was buried at High Hill Cemetery. There is conflicting reports in the Civil War pension records as to where James was wounded. Two say Manassas, one says Seven Pines. One pension record has him serving until the end of the war with the 6th Alabama and surrendering at Richmond, another surrendering in North Carolina under Johnston in either artillery or recruiting camps. James son was William Earnest Stokes, born 16 February 1890 in Scott County, Mississippi, marrying December 18, 1914 to Ethel Marie Wike b. June 23, 1899.
