I scanned the list at that site for members of the 19th Georgia regiment and found some some things that make me wonder where their information is coming from.

For example; Andrew Jackson Hutchins, died 5/26/1862. The website says he was in Company L, but there wasn’t such a company. Co. L shows up so often on the site it appears to be a substitute for “unknown company” or "no company." That aside, there was a member of the regiment by that name. He became the regimental commander and he resigned in the summer of 1863. He died after the war. I don’t think he was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, and certainly was not buried in 1862. I believe that’s some other Hutchins they’ve got there.

Another case: Jabez Floyd Cook, Co. G, died 8/31/1862 according to the website. There is a headstone in his family’s cemetery in Henry County, Georgia stating that Jabez F. Cook, Co. G, died 11/9/65. The website says their man is buried in the Officers Lot, but the man in Co. G wasn’t an officer. There are records for a J. T. Cook, Co. F, of the same regiment who died 8/31/1862 and is buried in Hollywood Cemetery and he may be the source of the confusion, but he wasn’t an officer either.
