Private Fielding FINNEY - Incorrect inscription on tombstone #1765 reads “F. FAERDLING CO. A 4 ALA. CAV. C.S.A.” He was taken prisoner at Paint Rock, Alabama in November 1864.

(Sadly the compiler notes in previous experience with former Confederates who had enlisted in the Union Army within the 3rd Maryland Cavalry that at least one soldier had been reported as idiotic.)
The Alabama, Marriage Collection, 1800-1969 as found on Ancestry listed Fielding Finney married to Martha J. Gailey on January 12, 1859 in Lawrence County, Alabama.

The compiler notes some genealogy records listed Permelia and John Finney as husband and wife and there was a John Finny, age sixty-four, born in South Carolina listed living in the next household of Permelia Finny in the 1850 United States census.
According to the American Civil War Database (A paysite) they reported Fielding Finney enlisting in Company A of the 4th Regiment, Alabama Cavalry on October 1, 1862 however no verification could be located.
