| ** More information regarding A.J. MAY: He was a resident of Prestonburg, Kentucky, at the time the war began. He joined the 5th. Kentucky Infantry at Prestonburg, and became Lt. Col. of the regiment. This regiment remained in the infantry service until late in the fall of 1862, when, from some cause, it was disbanded. The most of the men who had belonged to this regiment were organized into the 10th. Kentucky Cavalry. Colonel May became Colonel of this regiment. In the meantime, soon after the beginning of the war, he moved his family from Prestonburg to Tazewell, where he resided until his death, which occurred about forty years after the war. |
