Lisa, I live in Tuscaloosa Co. so decided to try and find what you were looking for on the 5-18-1999 post on the Tuscaloosa Co. GenForum queries.. First, since you mentioned he was in Lumsden's Battery, I checked a book by Beasey S. Hendrix, Jr. and sure enough found him there. He is shown as Chas. Jerome Fiquet, Jr. and it states that he was captured at Chickamauga. I know Mr. Hendrix so asked him if he knew anything further. He said that Charles was the son of Charles J. and Mary A. Figuet. Charles was born in NY and Mary in NJ. On the 1860 census of Tuscaloosa, he was unmarried. The only Fiquet that we could find buried in the City Cemeteries was the father, who died in 1867.

From another source, Charles J. Fiquet, Sr. married Mary Ann Foster on 7-3-1838 in Tuscaloosa.

The 1880 census shows Mary A. Fiquet on p. 412B as White female age 52 and only that she was keeping house. Children listed are
Dominique D. WM age 30, Lawyer, b. AL
Annie F. WF age 27 Home b. AL
Cadet WM age 15 Att. School b. AL
Kate E. WF age 11 Att. School b. AL

The 1880 census on p. 717Bin Household # 166

Fiquet, M.A. WF 60 widow b. NJ
That census also shows that her Mother and Father were both born in NJ

Only one child listed and it was Annie, WF age 38 single b. AL

That is all that I could find.
