29th Alabama.(17) Twenty-Ninth Alabama
Infantry Regiment
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
This regiment was organized at Pensacola in February, 1862, by the addition of
two companies to the Fourth Alabama battalion - a body of eight companies, which
had been organized the autumn before at Montgomery. The regiment remained at
Pensacola till it was evacuated, suffering much from diseases that usually afflict
raw troops. It then lay between Pollard and Pensacola for over a year, when it
was ordered to Mobile, and there remained from July 1863 to April 1864, save
a short time that it was at Pollard. The regiment then joined the Army of Tennessee
at Resaca, in time to initiate the Atlanta-Dalton campaign, and was brigaded
with the First, Seventeenth, and Twenty-sixth of Alabama, and Thirty-seventh
of Mississippi regiments, commanded at different intervals by Col. Murphey of
Montgomery, Gen. O'Neal of Lauderdale, and Gen. Shelley of Talladega. The Twenty-ninth
was engaged at the battle of Resaca with a loss of about 100 killed and wounded,
out of 1100 men engaged. At New Hope the loss was very heavy, and at Peach-tree
Creek the regiment was cut to pieces. Again, July 28, near Atlanta, half of the
regiment was killed and wounded in the fierce and protracted assault on the enemy's
line. The Twenty-ninth then moved into Tennessee with Gen. Hood, and lost very
heavily in casualties at Franklin, and largely in casualties and prisoners at
Nashville. A remnant of it moved into the Carolinas, and was engaged at Kinston
and Bentonville with considerable loss. About 90 men surrendered at Greensboro,
N.C.

James David Zorn Henry Lafayette Faulk came to Henderson County about 1870,
from Alabama. He was the son of Sarah O'Pryor and Henry Faulk of that state.
He had married Lucy Ann Card, daughter of Jane Monroe Tamplin and John Henry
Card, in Macon County, Alabama, 26 December 1867. When the Lafayette Faulk's
came to Henderson County, they had one son, John Henry Faulk (born 1868, Alabama).
A second son, Julius L. Faulk, born 1870, but his birthplace is not known --
Alabama or Texas? Lafayette was a farmer and farmed in Henderson County approximately
15 years, leaving before May 1885 to push westward. It is said that his many
moves in Texas were prompted by his search for water like that in Alabama. While
in Henderson County, Lucy and Lafayette had several other children: William B.,
born 1872; Mary Pearl, born 1874; James Monroe, born 1878; Hayden, born 1879
and Sallie, born 1883.
Lafayette Faulk was my grandfather and James Monroe Faulk was my father. Lucy
