I don't think that I have ever mentioned that to Mr. Skellie. However, it has been on my "to do list" for awhile.
Ron helped me a few years ago by identifying Uncle Tyra's grave in the Marietta Confederate Cemetery. Family tradition
says he was almost killed at Chickamauga, but hung on and then never recovered. I believe pneumonia got him. I have the surgeon's report of his death,
& the transfer of his possessions to the CSA quartermaster. Five dollars ( CSA Money) in his pocket upon his death. To me that's amazing. I never knew we
had enough time during the Atlanta Campaign to keep such detailed records.

Tyra & John's older brother, Ben Lentford Magee ( my GG Grandfather ) was in Quinn's 2nd militia "Marion Grays". Mr. Virgle
Roberts also helped me a few years ago with placing him at Camp Milldale during the early stages of the Vicksburg campaign. I hope
to one day be able to read the letters from Virgle's relative Micajah Wilkinson .

Do you have an info on Quinn's 2nd State Troops ?
