Re: George Page 19th Ga or 27th Ga?

You've qot quiet tangle of webs here to uncover.

I believe the UDC got it wrong. Young George Page was the son of William Page. Frederick Page was the son of Dr. George H. Page, most likely to old for Civil War service.

Unfortunately, there are no muster rolls which survived for Company D, 19th Georgia Infantry. In the case of George Jr., we only find cards pertaining to his father's claim for his pay, allowances and effects. Apparently, no such claim was made for Frederick.

The 1917 communication with the Georgia State Board of Pensions is interesting.
Reviewing these pension papers may help solve the mystery

I do not find a George Page in the 27th Georgia

His records contain a communication between the War Department and the Georgia State Board of Pension Commissioners dated October 22, 1917

There is no F. F. Page included in the records for the 19th Georgia

19th Regiment, Georgia Infantry

19th Infantry Regiment was assembled during the summer of 1861. Its companies were raised in Henry, Jackson, Douglas, Coweta, Carroll, Mitchell, and Bartow counties. Comprising 900 men, the unit was sent to Virginia and placed in the Potomac District. In April, 1862, it totalled 395 effectives and during the war served under the command of Generals W. Hampton, Archer, and Colquitt. The 19th fought in many battles from Seven Pines to Chancellorsville, then moved to Charleston, South Carolina, and later Florida where it took part in the conflict at Olustee. In April, 1864, it returned to Virginia and continued the fight at Proctor's Creek and Cold Harbor and in the Petersburg lines south and north of the James River. This regiment lost 32 killed and 157 wounded during the Seven Days' Battles, 13 killed and 76 wounded in the Maryland Campaign, and 3 killed and 40 wounded at Chancellorsville. It sustained 96 casualties at Olustee. In 1865 the unit participated in the North Carolina Campaign and surrendered with the Army of Tennessee. The field officers were Colonels William W. Boyd, Andrew J. Hutchins, and James H. Neal; Lieutenant Colonels Tilman W. Flynt, Ridgway B. Hogan, and Thomas C. Johnson; and Majors William Hamilton, John W. Hooper, and Charles W. Mabry.
