In Response To: Re: Clinch's Cavalry Roster ()

I have a request to know if my 5th great-grandfather William Worth is part of the regiment. I was told that he first enlisting in Savannah on October 1, 1861 for a 12-month tour in Company E (later Company H, the "Alapaha Guards") in the 29th Regiment of Georgia Volunteer Infantry, where he was stationed along the Georgia coast on Sapelo Island and near Savannah. Although he saw now battlefield action during his first year, William later enlisted in Company I of the 4th Regiment of Georgia Cavalry under Colonel Duncan L. Clinch at Waynesville, Ga. on March 18, 1863. Under the command of General G.T. Beauregard, William's unit saw action during the enemy occupation of Jacksonville, Florida, and along the Georgia coast at Brunswick, Darien, and St. Marys. On February 24, 1864, William also fought in the Battle of Olustee in northern Florida, during which Colonel Clinch and 3 other men were killed.
