| Notes |
- From "Descendants of William J. Ham" compiled by Warren Hamm:
"P.J. Ham, reared on the farm in Coffee County, received but a limited education because of the early death of his father. He enlisted in March of 1862 in Company A., 33rd Alabama for one year and spent the first few months in Pensacola. He was in Corinth soon after the battle there, then was sent on the Kentucky campaign, and back to Murfreesboro, TN. This was the first general engagement in which he participated. At Chickamauga he was wounded in the foot and disabled for six or seven months at home. He rejoined his command at Dalton, in 1864, and fought on to Peachtree Creek, where he lost his left arm. He was sent home and a few weeks later brought to the hospital in Atlanta. Since his recovery he has lived near and at Elba. Through his efforts he has become one of the largest landowners in the county, owning some three thousand acres. A large portion of which is under cultivation."
