Based on the record of the 31st GA (also w/Lawton's Brigade), which left Savannah on June 7, 1862,
the train stopped in Wilmington, NC where several of the sick were left in local hospitals. The 31st GA
arrived in Petersburg, VA June 11th. Instead of proceeding toward Richmond as expected, the train
was diverted to the Shenandoah Valley where the 31st GA would join the remainder Lawton's Brigade,
now assigned to the command of "Stonewall" Jackson. I know they were in Lynchburg, VA on June 12th.
By June 17th they travelled by rail to Gordonsville and were on the move to Richmond. Its first battle
was June 27th @ Gaines Mill / Cold Harbor.

The six Georgia regiments composing Alexander R. Lawton's Brigade (13th GA, 26th GA, 31st GA, 38th GA,
60th GA & 61st GA) left Savannah in early June on different trains and on different days. The brigade at the
time was reportedly the largest in the Confederate Army at the time, and its initial strength was placed
anywhere between 5,000 and 7,000 at the time.

Its been years since I've done the research, but if you consult the June 1862 Savannah Republican newspaper
(on microfilm @ the state archives, UGA Library, & GA Historical Society), you might be able to locate some
26th GA - related stories and perhaps more clues regarding your ancestor's final days. Its quite possible the
train bearing the 26th GA stopped in Charlottesville.
