carlgaddis1 — 22 Sep 2008 3:25:31 GMT

I have learned of 61 families from Burke Co., North Carolina who migrated in 1822 to Habersham Co. in Northeast Georgia and settled in the Nacoochee Valley area.I have been unable to locate any historical details, and would welcome any info about this group. Gold discoveries and/or land sales were possible motivations. I suspect that James Gaddis, and 6 of his 7 sons were part of this group.

Finding a relative in the CW; James G. MADDUX

rhondaflynn2 — 15 May 2008 2:28:26 GMT

I have been searching for where James G. MADDUX served in the CW. He was born in 1842 in Heard County where he and his family resided until the 1890s. He is not at home in the 1864 Joe Brown Census, and according to family legend he did serve.

I have tracked down a ton of Maddux, Maddox, Mattox - but cannot find the James G. MADDUX I seek.

Does anyone have any new/fresh ideas on how to find a relative in the CW? He died before he could apply for a pension, and his headstone is not a military headstone.

His brother Thomas served in the 34th Reg. Company K, but James is not there with him.

Any new ideas, thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Researching a Military Unit History

webmaster01 — 6 May 2007 4:57:21 GMT

Hello, I have been searching the internet trying to find out some detailed information about the military unit my ancestor was in. Unfortunately there is not unit history for it online anywhere, all I have been able to find is the divisions/brigades it was a part of and the list of engagements it fought in. In am interested in learning the part that the unit played in every engagement they were in, where they were on the battle field and witch brigades they were directly confronting. How does one go about researching this kind of information? What kinds of resources are available to learn this kind of detailed information?

If I am able to gather enough information, I may write a book about it or I will at the very least post it on rootsweb so everyone can benefit from it.

The Unit I am concerned with is the 4th Battalion Georgia Sharpshooters. Like I said, I have learned when the unit was formed and when and where it surrendered but I am just trying to learn the details.

Thanks in advance

I would like info on the 36th Ga Inf. 2nd Lt Robert Thomas Bridges was listed as a deserter Richmond Va March 20 1865. However, he was in Nashville Tn being tried for murder by Federal Gen Army Court Martial. He sentenced to hang, later was pardoned more less and died natural cause 1899 Limestone County Ala. He had been captured at Tunnell Hill, Ga Feb 23 1864. There was much unrest in Northwestern Georgia because of Look Out Mt., Chickamauga, Chattanooga about that time. Since Robert had family same area probably had easy crossing behind Yankee line where he got into trouble.
So I was wondering if 36th was rear guard or guerrilla type force?

Hey Everyone - I came across the marker/grave for a James Summerlin (b. abt. 1824, d. 1864) in a field in what is now Atkinson County, Georgia. Does anyone have any info on this guy? His marker states that he "died in defence of the Confederacy in the year 1864". An old family story goes that he was killed while attempting to round up deserters of the army. I believe this might be a son of Hardy Summerlin (b. abt. 1770, m. Penelope Collins). I would appreciate any info anyone might be able to share. I also took some pictures of the site if anyone would like copies (I could e-mail them). Thanks...

a Georgia regiment. This is the young man whose picture is
familiar to many from its publication in the American Heritage book on the Civil War. I would like to know his regiment, place of birth and burial, published and unpublished references, and any other information which would be useful for researching his life with a view towards
publication. I am currently researching two other virtually unknown young
soldiers from NY regiments who perished during the war. At this time I would be quite satisfied with a quick response just indicating Pvt Jennison's regiment. With my compliments.

He was intered at burying ground at Wm Anderson's White Co Tenn. ___ ___ 8 miles west of Sparta. His body was moved to burying ground near Van Wert" (VanWert is in Polk Co GA)

Among the soldiers in his regiment were his brothers Samuel Jackson CRABB and Jesse W. CRABB, his nephew John W. CRABB, and his brother-in-laws Abraham Huddleston YORK,
William Thomas YORK, Josiah Cowan YORK Jr, Jasper Newton YORK, Larkin Blake YORK.

John Calaway CRABB was a wealthy merchant in Polk Co GA and his family were original settlers there having lived in that part of Paulding County that became Polk Co when it was created in 1851.

What I am looking for is obituaries.......

I am especially interested in obituaries for Capt John Calaway CRABB and William Thomas YORK as well as any for the other above named Crabb's .

My great-great grandfather was 2nd Corporal Barnard (Barney) Asbury Poteet of the 36th Georgia Infantry- Company H. I know he signed up for service in Whitfield County, GA in 1862. I do know he had a brother with him by the name of James Patton Poteet who was killed at Champion's Hill. Barnard was captured at Vicksburg and paroled. That is all of the info I know. Does anyone have any more info, rosters, troop movements, etc.. Anything would help. I would like to know where they took the troops once captured and if he still fought with them or deserted. He applied for his Confederate pension in TN in 1902.
Thanks for your help!

Looking for confirmation of family story that my gr.grandfather Dawse Pierce Wright of H ancock Co walked home to Georgia barefoot from the surrender at Appomattox. I have found him listed as a private in Guerrard's Battery, a unit which was reorganized and scattered several times. Having trouble following it. Looks like some of them might have wound up in Page's First Virginia Bt'y and could have been at the surrender. Is anyone familiar with this rather obscure unit? Thanks. Fay

Gettysburg Flag Captures

Kurt Graham — 30 Aug 1999 12:00:00 GMT

I recently obtained a copy of a letter written by General William T Wofford dated August 14th 1863, which discusses Federal flags captured by his brigade in it's attack across the wheatfield at Gettsyburg on July 2nd 1863. He states that one flag was captured by Sgt I L Born Co C of the Cobb Legion Infantry, one flag was captured by Private Alfred Norris Co E of the Phillips Legion Infantry, and yet another flag was captured by Private E I Smith of Co E, Phillips Legion. He goes on to discuss a 4th Federal flag which was in the grasp of Private Thomas B Jolly Co B of the Phillips Legion before he was bayonetted and killed by a Federal. A hand to hand melee ensued at this point and Wofford admits the flag was not held by the Confederates. This incident sounds a great deal like the fight for the colors of the 4th Michigan (of Sweitzer's brigade) in which it's Colonel, Harrison Jeffords was mortally wounded AND the Michigan men retained their flag. The Legion went in on the left end of Wofford's line with the Cobb Legion to their right. Upon approaching the wheatfield they hit an opening between Sweitzer's brigade in the wheatfield and Tilton's brigade in the Trostle woods to the north. This allowed them to wrap around the exposed right flank of the 4th Michigan, forcing this unit to fall back in disorder. The unit to the left of the 4th Michigan was the 62nd Pennsylvania. Numerous other Federal units from DeTrobriand's III Corps brigade and Caldwell and Brooks brigades from the II Corps had been in this area. Does anyone have any information reagrding the unit identifications of the three flags captured by Wofford's men?

13th/16th Battalion Ga. Calvary

Herbert D. Holman — 23 Jul 2008 4:15:20 GMT

I have been researching this unit for about five years. There seems to be very few sources that mention this unit. I have found references in the book "The History of Morgan's Cavalry by Basil Duke. I have also found references in the Green Confederate book and well as the Compiled Records of the Civil War.

Any primary source material as well as printed accounts in 1860-1865 era newspapers. Written journals by men who served in the subject unitl was be greatly appreciated.

A goodly part of the men who served in the 13th/16th Cavalry originated in Jackson County, Ga. I have been unable to find any rosters of the men in this unit. If you know of a source for rosters...please contact me.

If anyone can help uncover more source materials on this unit please contact me via e-mail.

Captain Thomas and Bill Yopp (14th Ga, Co. H)

Harold K. Daniel — 22 Apr 2004 6:23:34 GMT

Searching for information on Thomas and Bill Yopp. Thomas was the son of Jeremiah yopp and Bill was a servant to the family. Thoams and Bill were constant companions growing up. When the Civil War started Thomas was elected Captain of the 14th Georgia, Co. H Laurens Co., Georgia) and Bill accompanied him.

Bill was given the nickname "Ten Cent Bill," becausehe shined the shoes of the men in the Regiment and performed other duties for ten cents. He surrendered with the men of the 14th at Appomattox Court House.

After the war Bill moved from Laurens Co (Dublin) to Macon, Ga. He worked as bellboy at Brown House in Macon, a porter in an Albany Hotel in New York, was a servant to a family in California, and was a waiter on railroad dining cars. He served ten years as a porter on the privae car of a railroad president. Then he worked on a Navy collier and at Camp Wheeler. His varied career led him around the United States and the world.

In his later years, Bill returned to Georgia to find his former master Thomas destitute and in poor health. Captain Yopp now over eighty years old was moving into the Confederate Soldiers Home near Atlanta. Bill Yopp visited the home often. The board of trustees voted to allow Bill to stay at the Home for as long as he live. At the death of Captain Yopp, 92, Bill made an address expressing his admiration of the kind and generous dispostion of his old master and the respect of each other.

Bill died on June 3, 1836 and was buried in the Confederate Cemetery at Marietta, Georgia. His former master, Captain Thomas Yopp was also buried there. Bill Yopp was the only black person buried in the cemetery. The state of Georgia provided his gravestone, that reads: Drummer Bill Yopp, Co. H, 14th GA INF CSA

I'm writing a book on the 14th Georgia, Any additional information is greatly appreciated!

dksamples1 — 12 Nov 2001 6:05:46 GMT

My gggrandfather Jessie Samples served in an unknown GA unit. Likely from the vicinity of Pike or Griffin Co. I have found no record of him after the war. His widow Elizabeth is to be found in Pike Co in 1860 and received a "salt ration". Was this salt ration indicative of her husband being killed in the war? Incidentally, his son Augustus Franklin Samples was in Griffin Light Artillery and drew a pension from TX and later OK. Is there a central register of the Confederate Dead from GA?? Any suggestion or help will be appreciated. Thanks, Dick
