On my friend's great-great-grandfather's grave's military stone it says "Jesse Francis Christian; Pvt Freeman's Co Ala GDS; Confederate States Army; Feb 8 1830 May 6 1862"

I found, under Miscellaneous/Militia: Capt. Freeman's Company, Alabama Prison Guards on this site: http://www.csawardept.com/genealogy/research/units/AL.html

Shoot Ron, if you're having trouble finding info, I don't feel so bad. Once again, thanks so much for your expertise and help.
