Sydney & Paschall Broadwater
On July 28, 1861, just days after the Confederate victory at the Battle of Bull Run, two brothers from Alabama, rushed to join the cause for Southern Independence. Sydney 19 and Paschall 27 Broadwater were enlisted at the rank of privates, for three years in Co. C; 16th Regiment, Alabama Infantry at Florence, Alabama. Both men saw the war through it's entirety surrendering and taking the Oath of Allegiance in April and May of 1865.
Sydney, according to the 17 pages of CSA Service Records on file in the National Archives in Washington DC, was a wagon driver, or more commonly referred to as a teamster during his time in service. Paschall with 8 pages on file that pertain to him, also is recorded as a wagon driver and working for the quartermaster on detached assignment at times.
The 16th Infantry Regiment was assembled at Courtland, Alabama, in August, 1861, and contained men from Russell, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Franklin, Cherokee, and Marion counties. It was assigned to General Zollicoffer's brigade, and its first battle was at Fishing Creek or Mill Spring, Ky., January 19 and 20, 1862. It was at Shiloh, April 6th and 7th 1862; Triune, December 27th 1862; Murfreesboro, December 31 to January 5, 1863; in the retreat from Tullahoma to Chattanooga, June 23d to July 4th 1863; Chickamauga, September 19th and 20th 1863; Missionary Ridge, November 23d to 25th 1863; Ringgold, November 27th 1863; in all the great battles under Johnston and Hood during the eventful campaign in 1864, and was particularly distinguished at Jonesboro, August 31st and September 1st 1864, where it met with very severe loss. It participated in the fights at Buzzard Roost, Tunnel Hill and Rocky Face Ridge, February 25 to 27, 1864; around Dalton, May 8th to 12th; Resaca, May 13th to 16th; Adairsville, May 17th; Cassville, May 19th to 22d; Pickett's Mill, May 27th; Kennesaw Mountain, June 9th to 30th; Peachtree Creek, July 20th; Atlanta, July 22d, where it carried the enemy's works by assault and captured two stands of colors. It was also prominent in the battle of Franklin, November 30th, and of Nashville, December 15th and 16th.
In September, 1861, the regiment totaled 867 effectives. It sustained 168 casualties at Murfreesboro, and lost fifty-nine percent of the 414 engaged at Chickamauga during December, 1863, there were 302 present for duty and 202 arms. It lost 150 killed and wounded at Jonesboro and half of their remaining forces were disabled at Franklin and Nashville. On April 26, 1865, about 50 officers and men surrendered.
