Was talking to my first cousin on my Mom's side last night, James Patrick Jordan, a graduate of Crossville, Alabama High School, now in Tucson.
He said my Grandfather Jordan's Dad, James Sanders Jordan, along with his Brother Henry Rufus both joined the Union side in the Civil WAr with the Alabama Vidette Regiment. The Other Bama Union Regiment so impressed General Sherman he used some of them as his body guard, and according to my cousin that regiment was the only Union group from the South to present both Black and white soldiers. That Group as I understand my cousin was from around Winston County, west of Cullman; and it was Winston County that produced the great Lincoln Republican of the 1960's, Atticus Finch in the flesh, Judge Frank Johnson.
