Memoir 2, Page 24, Woods and Abbott

"[I submitted the whole matter] to my friend Hyram Woods. He and I associated with us a Rev. Mr. Abbott."

Hiram Woods was also a Private in Company K of the 36th Alabama. According to his service record, he enlisted as a volunteer in May of 1861 and served as a nurse at a nearby hospital during the summer of 1862. The pension application of his widow, Nancy E. Woods, shows that he survived the war and died on August 25, 1877. His name appears as both “Hiram” and “Hyram” on both official and personal documents.

This is probably Noah Abbott, a private in Company K of the 36th Alabama. His service record reveals little except for his capture at Missionary Ridge on November 25, 1863 during the Battle of Chattanooga. Following his capture, he was sent along to the military prison at Louisville, Kentucky and then on to Rock Island in the Mississippi River in December of 1863. He then enlisted in the US Navy in January of the following year and was assigned to the Tugboat Bazely immediately after its purchase for troop and resource transport in June of 1864.
