Plantersville did not exist during the war,not being established until 1890. According to Judy Borden's book, T. W. Johnson, the grandfather of Cecil and the great grandfather of Carroll Mitchell, and Samuel Stewart Young, the father of Irene Young Partlow and Stewart Young, fought in the war.
I have confirmed that my great grandfather, George Alexander Morris, enlisted in Marion County, Alabama; he was from Smithville, but after the war, he married his second wife and moved to Richmond. Michael Marion Kelly, my grandfather, is supposed to have been in the army, but have had less luck finding information on him. He lived across from what is now the Tombigbee State Park.
If you had family members in the Civil War from the Plantersville area, please let me know.
