Notes

Military

James enlisted as a Private in a Calhoun County Company commanded by Captain Henry MC BEE. At Talladega, Alabama on April 16, 1862 McBee's Company joined several other companies to form the 30th Alabama Infantry Regiment, CSA. The company was then designated as "E" Company. The Regiment was commanded by Colonel Charles M. SHELLEY of Talladega County, Alabama. The 30th was ordered to East Tennesse to the forces commanded by Major General E. Kirby SMITH. In November 1862 the 30th was placed in the Alabama Brigade. The Brigade was placed in General Carter L. STEVENSON'S Division. Their Division was ordered to Vicksburg, Mississippi in December 1862. They arrived at Vicksburg on January 1, 1863. The Regiment surrendered with General Pemberton's Army on July 4, 1863 and was paroled. They marched to Demopolis, Alabama to await exchange. While there, General Pemberton furloughed the men and allowed them to go home for 30 days.
