Hello Tommy,there were two Elijah's In the
55th Ala. Im just guessing but I bet that
the first Elijah on that roster is your Grandpa,but then again the G. could have been
mistaken for a J. and its possible we could
have the same Great Great Grandpa. I dont know the first Elijah's middle name.
Elijah George Clifton is buried over here
in Roland Arkansas . He was married twice.
1st wife Hannah Stallings, 2nd M.E. Brown.
Hannah was from Alabama.And I know they had
a son named Samuel B. Clifton & i have 2 pictures of him.
ElijahG. Clifton was 30 years old
when the War started . The other Elijah could
be one of his nephews too.
I wish I knew for sure . Im going keep my eyes open .stay in touch
