Overview:
13th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in July, 1861, at Montgomery, Alabama. Men of this unit were from the counties of Coosa, Wilcox, Macon, Butler, Talladega, Montgomery, Randolph, Elmore, and Tallapoosa. Ordered to Virginia, it served under General Rains at Yorktown, and in April, 1862, contained 474 effectives. Later the 13th was assigned to General Colquitt's, Archer's, Sanders', and W.H. Forney's Brigade, Army of the Northern Virginia. It participated in many conflicts from Williamsburg to Cold Harbor, then fought in the long Petersburg siege south of the James River and the campaign that ended at Appomattox. This regiment reported 52 casualties at Seven Pines, 101 during the Seven Days' Battles, and 140 at Chancellorsville. Of the 308 engaged at Gettysburg, over half were disabled. It surrendered with 6 officers and 85 men on April 9, 1865. The field officers were Colonels James Aiken and B.D. Fry; Lieutenant Colonels William H. Betts, R.H. Dawson, S.B. Marks, and Julius C.B. Mitchell; and Major John T. Smith.

He was a son of Larkin Brown, whose Estate was settled in Calhoun County, Al. E.J. Brown went with Dozens of his Neighbors of their Community to fight for Southern Independence. None were rich, or had Slaves. That is why Sanders Cemetery has many unmarked Graves, there wasn't a lot of money by 1864. Just Excellent Family History written over The Decades, of who Sleeps there.
In the Devastated Confederate States, All Southern Families, (Black and White) Communities stayed close, worked together to Survive the Destruction of Millions of Acres of their Home States, that were put to The Torch.
