Yes, that’s cousin Edward. He was Captain of Company B, 58th Alabama. This must have been taken before he was shot in the jaw at Chickamauga. He resigned his commission after he recovered to accept a commission as a Lt. in the Confederate Marine Corps. Interesting fellow with an appreciative eye for beautiful ladies.
Edward Crenshaw later had most of his jaw shot off at chickamagua. I have the original letter he wrote bolling hall II telling him of his sons being mortally wounded, as well as his jaw injury.
My family is related to the Crenshaw’s. My G-G-Granfather is Jesse Chenshaw Duke. His son Seaborn Duke Sr. moved to Marion Co. Alabama in the early 1800 with his family. Seaborn Duke Jr. and his brother William Duke from Marion Co. Alabama served in the Civil War.
Sam Adams was Captain of my 3rd great grandfather, James B. Snell, who joined up with Co.B so he could warch over his younger brother, William Green Snell. James died at Tunnel Hill, GA in Jan. 1864, and Green was killed at Franklin, TN.

The above photo of Capt. Harts____ that you can’t make out is Capt. Henry J Hartsene. Just click on your own link to go to ADAH. http://digital.archives.alabama.gov/cdm/singleitem/collection/photo/id/6574/rec/1
I found him also in the US Census in 1860 as a Naval Officer living in South Carolina.
Hi cousin
Quite a remarkable resemblance of me.
These men were heroes. They had the balls to stand up for themselves. Something cowardly white people are too afraid to do today.
