AL 28th Infantry…… Shows a photo of Capt. John Henry Turpin. I am grateful for you posted his photo.
My great grandfather father Isaac T Self served in his regiment. He was captured in Jonosboro, Ga Sept 1,1864 (pow) and sent to Camp Douglas in Illinois. But survived it, and released May 12, 1865. Came home to Jefferson Co, AL and died May 26, 1873. Leaving behind four children a new wife, whom was pregnant with child. ( And no he did not own any slaves). Just a farmer in the South.
Most that served did not own slaves–some even hide and they were found and handed their uniform and a gun.
My great great grandfather, William Henry Masters, served as a private in company H of the 30th Alabama. He was severely wounded and captured at Jonesboro as well. After surgery to repair a head wound, he also went to Camp Douglas, and was released at the same time as your great grandfather. William Henry returned to what is now Shelby County where he farmed well into his 80’s. He passed away peacefully while napping in his favorite rocking chair on his front porch in 1934.
