Thanks for your reply Kerry. I had seen in a previous post by you that the cemetery has a list of these soldiers and they gave me the same information only they said the list shows he was in the 26th Regiment Georgia Infantry Co A. They also show his age as "27" and my research based upon 2 census records shows he was born about 1828. I also realize how far off those census records can be.

I asked the lady if the list was transcribed from handwritten records thinkong the "F" may have been misread as an "A". She had the original records and checked and she hesitated for a couple of seconds then looked at other records for other examples to compare. If you have ever transcribed original document, you know that that hesitation means there is a doubt. She came back stating it looked like an "A" to her. I'd love to see those documents but I'm close to 700 miles away.

I contacted some reenactors for the GA 26th and hope to learn more. Thanks again Kerry.
