Hi all, I am looking for burial information on an Elisha P. Thomas who was serving in Co. L of the 36th GA INF. He was shot in the thigh at Bakers Creek Miss in May and sent to the Hospital at Vicksburg. The Widows Pension says he died on June 28th, 1863 from the wounds. Witnesses included Rial B. Striplin who helped bury him , a brother-in-law Jacob Childers, and a longtime family acquaintance B. Mullinax, all of whom served in CO L. He had at least 2 other brother-in-laws that served in that unit .... Robert B. Wilkins and Rueben Childers. I've seen some other information that indicated the possibility he was still alive during the surrender on the 4th, so I also would be interested in any information on Samuel and W. J. Thomas of CO L 36th GA INF, just incase someone got a name mixed-up. I would also be interested in any information on The Cherokee Legion; GA State guards. The artillery unit seems to have been captured at Vicksburg, but I can't seem to find information on the individual soldiers. I am particularly interested in Leander Childers and James Childers. Neither of them seems to have filed for a pension, and I'm beginning to wander if they could have jumped sides or deserted. Anything information, on any of the people mentioned, would be appreciated.
