Scarborough and wife Nancy D. Motley (circa. 1905-1915). J. M. Scarborough, born in 1844, enlisted 8/26/1862 at Independence, Autauga County, AL. He served in Company E of the 53rd Alabama Partisan Rangers. On 3/1/1864 he transferred to Co. A of the 24th Alabama Battalion. He was discharged on 4/24/1865 and in 1907 applied for a pension at Jones, Autauga County, AL.

A Note About Photo Albums - Photo Albums generally contain more than one page. Each page will contain a maximum of twelve photos. For the Autauga Veterans & Public Men and the Soldiers At Rest photo albums, I arrange the photos in alphabetical order by surname. When a new photo is added, it is positioned on the last page of the album. When I reposition the photo in alphabetical order, it will transfer to the proper page and the last photo on that page will transfer to the next page. The remaining pages in the album will adjust accordingly. To access the different pages of an album, perform the following: 1. Open the photo album to access page 1. 2. Locate the "Page Number" pulldown menu directly above the first photo. The pulldown menu will be located in the same place on every page. 3. Click on the arrow in the pulldown menu to see the list of pages in the album. 4. Highlight the desired page by placing your cursor on the page number and click. CSA Military Service Records & Pension Applications Look-Up Services are provided by Histoy-Sites.Com, home of the Alabama In The Civil War Message Board. No other site on the internet is visited more often by descendants and family genealogists searching for information on their Civil War ancestry than the message boards at History-Sites.Com.
