The 20th Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized at Montgomery, with recruits from Bibb, Dallas, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Perry, Russell, Tuscaloosa, and Washington counties, on 16 September 1861. Proceeding to Mobile in November and to Knoxville in February 1862, the regiment was placed under General Danville Leadbetter of Mobile. Transferred to General Seth M. Barton's Brigade, the 20th operated for some time in east Tennessee and advanced into Kentucky with General Kirby Smith, being in General Alexander Reynolds' Brigade, Henry Heth's Division. The regiment was engaged in the constant fighting from Dalton to Atlanta, being conspicuous at Rocky Face Ridge, and losing heavily at Kennesaw. It participated at Jonesboro, suffering severely. It moved into Tennessee with General John Bell Hood, and lost heavily at Nashville. From that field, the 20th passed into North Carolina and fought at Kinston and Bentonville. At the close of the war, the 20th was consolidated with the 30th Infantry Regiment at Smithfield, 9 April 1865. It was surrendered at Salisbury, about 165 rank and file of the original 1100 men with which the 20th took the field. Companies Of The Alabama 20th Infantry Regiment Co. "A" (Perry County): Alfred S.
