"The 2nd Infantry Regiment (also called Magnolia Regiment) was organized at Fort Morgan, AL during April 1861. Its members were raised in Calhoun, Pickens, Franklin, Monroe, Clarke, Mobile, and Jackson Counties. The regiment formed the garrison at Fort Morgan, serving as infantry and artillery, until March 1862, when it was ordered to Fort Pillow in Tennessee. Here it disbanded because its term of service had expired. The officers and men joined other Alabama commands. Colonel Henry Maury, Lt. Col. H. C. Bradford, and Maj. Daniel P. Forney were its field officers." The muster roll posted here is listed in the official records as Co. B, Lane Guards, of the 2nd Regiment, Alabama Volunteers, in the service of the Confederate States for 12 months unless sooner discharged." The following roll was written 17 September 1861 at Fort Morgan, Alabama."

Photos of unknown Woodfins
These photos were sent to me by Vicki Affentranger. Here's what she said about her lineage and what she knows about the photos:
My paternal grandmother Christine was William Jasper Woodfins daughter. William Jaspers father was Moses Woodfin, Samuel Chase Woodfins brother. Moses was married to Rachel Anna Clark. William Jasper was married to Fannie Belle Miller. The Miller family was a well known family from that area. I have a book about the Miller family called "The Millers of Millersburg".
The photo album came down from my grandmother Christine Woodfin Johnson. So, some of the pictures could be Millers.

These photos were scanned by a cousin who is also a descendant of Samuel Chase Woodfin and John Tipton Womack. We think the woman is John T. Womack's wife, Jerusha Melvina Brown. No idea who the others are.
