51st Georgia in the Overland Campaign

Hello,

I have been looking at the muster rolls of the Regiments in Semmes Georgia Brigade on the Ranger95 website and noticed a huge descrepancies in the casualties suffered by the other three regiments when compared to the 51st for the period may 5- june 7 1864. The website only has 1lt Benjiman H Ramsey (co.B) killed at the wilderness, and 2lt's Charles G McLendon (co. B or G???) and W. Johnson J. Webb (co. I) and pte. John H Gruber (co.E or G???), all killed at Cold Harbour. It also names 5 others who were wounded and numurous others who were captured. The casualties in the other regiments were very heavy, so is this just a problem with the records? Would appreciate any light that anybody could shed on this puzzle and maybe add further names to my list of fatalaties.
