In my search, of several years, for a Civil war record for James Henry Cassady (various sp). that died during the war. I sent for and received the following record from the National Archives. [card #45506743 #6853]> Cassady,James H - CO G, 1 (Olmstead's) Georgia Infantry. Confederate, Private.- 0 medical and 0 personal papers. 2nd page, Cassidy, appears on a list of casualties, Fort Johnson, SC...Killed inst Aug 12 1863 ~ Another record [same Co & Regiment] Cassidy/Cassiday,James H, > killed at Battery Wagner, Morris Island, SC same date. I took this to be the same soldier, Is that correct ?? Would there be additional records for this soldier? ~ Another problem is, I haven't found information to prove/identify any Cassady soldier as my gg grandfather. There's a number of James/JH Cassady/s/Casheday's, I just have not located another one that is listed as killed/died during the war. ~ Information for my ancestor; he was b 1824, WA CO TN, Some of the family moved to Dade CO GA. His daughter later removed to Kansas where a history book of the area stated ... she was an orphan, her father, Henry, was killed while serving in the Confederate Army in GA. Another of our family stories, that has passed down, told of the father, James Henry Cassady being taken prisoner of war when the Confederate Army took their home in Chattanooga as headquarters, the son, b1847, hid in a cave. I would really appreciate suggestions/help, to locate my gg grandfather's service record.
