Carol,
Alabama CSA service records are available online at footnote.com (with paid subscription). I looked up the record for A.A. Young in the 25th AL Infantry and saw the following:
A. A. Young [also named as Archibald A. Young]
enlisted 19 Oct 1861 Wesobulga, AL [Randolph County]
One roll shows him dead in a hospital on 27 Jan 1862 but remaining rolls show him present until 1865.
Roll for Oct 1862: Sick in Knoxville, TN
Roll for Nov 1862: Sick in Knoxville [since] Oct 26
Admitted 29 Oct 1862 to CSA Post Hospital, Dalton, GA for chronic rheumatism. Discharged 17 Dec 1862.
Captured 14 May 1864 at Resaca, GA and transported to Camp Morton Prision, Indianapolis, IN 22 May 1864.
Exchanged at the James River southeast of Richmond, VA in March 1865.
Admitted to Howard's Grove Hospital in Richmond for "debilitas" on 13 Mar 1865. Furloughed for sixty days beginning 22 Mar 1865.
Lee and the Government evacuated Richmond on 2 Apr 1865 and the war eventually ended in the following two months.
Anyway, I don't know if this is your Alexander Young but I'm thinking it probably isn't. Randolph County is in northeast Alabama near the Georgia line.
Your best bet would be to see if his widow filed for a pension based on Alexander's service. It would be filed in whatever state she lived on regardless of the state from which Alexander served. For Alabama, that would be the Archives in Montgomery. Those pension applications would give the name of his regiment. If she remarried, however, she wouldn't be eligible for a pension on Young's service.
But, hey, now you can say you know all about Archibald A. Young from Randolph County!
Have a good one,
Scott
