[Note, the original cyprus head markers rotted away many years ago, thus, the original burial locations remain unknown. During the late 1970s, VA tombstone were obtained for those known 2000 men buried in the Old Vicksburg City Cemetery. These stones were laid out in rows by the soldier served under. I assume you will find a tombstone in his name with others from Georgia]
