Service Record
Civil War records in the National Archives show William Pitts McGinty, as a 
private in Capt. H.F. Dunston’s 4th Alabama Reserves. This unit included about 
eighty men from the area. This company subsequently became Co. E, 4th Reg., AL 
Reserves.  William Pitts mustered into this unit August 5, 1864, in Opelika, 
AL. His enlistment documents give us his description as 45 years old, five feet 
ten inches tall, blue eyes, dark hair and fair complexion. His service records 
do not show his active duty in this unit. However, at the time, there was a 
crisis in Mobile which was under attack by Adm. Farragut and all available AL 
reserves were ordered to report there.  The 4th AL was on post in Mobile by 
November 20, 1864.  On February 7, 1865, they were ordered to Montgomery to 
help defend that area and arrived on February 20, 1865, 150 present for duty 
and according to the CSA records, were "very much disorganized."
