Notes: for 1 JAMES (1) LATTA: LATTY, JOHN. "On the 30th ult., JAMES LATTY, an
old citizen of this County in the 102nd year of his age. He was a native of North
Carolina, but had lived on the head waters of Brierfork for two generations. He
volunteered in the revolutionary war; but his father, being in a helpless condition,
furnished means for a substitute for his son." The Southern Advocate, Huntsville,
April 11, 1860. It is attributed to Thomas M. Owen's 'Revolutionary Soldiers in
Alabama -
http://www.asc.edu/archives/al_sldrs/l_list.html
*Note: Don't know if we're talking about the same James
Latta, but it was too close to ignore. It would put James's birth date at 1758
and his death date at 1860 which conflicts with the probate record for 1856.
Guess what I have to do??
Notes about;
8 ROBERT T (3) LATTA (Corporal)
Enlisted at age 21 at Murphee's Crossroads 2/6/1862. Sick in Blount County. POW at
Stone River, TN and sent to Camp Douglas, ILL 12/31/1862. POW at Missionary Ridge and
sent to Rock Island Prison on 12/5/1863. Paroled and admitted to General Hospital,
Petersburg, VA on 4/6/1863. Furloughed for 60 days 5/19/1865 Complaint: Scalpt headf.
Note from E.D. Wilson - 28th AL CAV history buff: "I think that the Robt A maybe a
misprint-said he was Blount Co and age 21,so.. You might try Al for a death
certificate-not sure they are public record. Al Archives has a nice web page, too.
I think Robt was captured twice-Stone River or Murfreesboro battle was
12/31/1862 to 1/3/1863. The battle at Missionary Ridge was 9/1863 and the 28th
suffered heavy casualties. It seems that the 28th POW'S all went to Rock Island, Ill.
The conditions were terrible and a lot of CSA soldiers died there.
