Rosters of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia

MUSTER ROLL OF
COMPANY G, 23d REGIMENT
GEORGIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
ARMY OF TENNESSEE
C. S. A.
CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA
CHEROKEE FIELD GUARDS

Timmons, James P.- private August 31,1861. Died at Yorktown, Va. April 15,1862.

Timmons, William D.- private September 8,1861. Discharged, disability, at Yorktown, Va. January 2,1862.

HISTORICAL NOTES:

Crute states that this regiment was made up of men from Bartow, Henderson, Floyd, Pickens, and Cherokee counties. Walker is not included.

Crute states that they followed a rather unusual route being transferred back and forth from VA to FL to SC to TN during the war. The regiment finally surrendered with the Army of Tennessee at Goldsboro, NC, although it had been involved in the Petersburg siege in VA. Almost half of the regiment was captured at Chancellorsville, but overall, the battle casualties seem relatively light. The regiment was under the direct command of Generals Rains and Colquitt.
