  No he could not have served during the War Against The South. He passed away in 1858, The War of Northern Aggression did not start until 1861.

Pickett Springs was in Motgomery County, not Autauga County. I live on part of the old Pickett Springs entertainment resort which was popular with Montgomery people in the mid to late 1800s, accessed by trolley.. According to the old folks, the access road came through my back yard to a pavilion.
