    3. I have a copy of my great-grandfather's, George A. Lanier, Application for Pension, and it says he was in the 1st Fla. Reserves. It says he enlisted in "April of 1864 at Marianna, FL, Captain Poe's Company, which was afterwards a part of 1st Fla. Reserve" (Company C) In answer to the question "Give the name of your Captain at time of your discharge from service", he stated "Williford, but Colquit was the commanding officer. In answer to the question "Give the name of your Battalion or Regimental commander both at time of your enlistment and discharge from service", he stated "Col. Montgomery, first and then Gen. Miller was the last" A witness to this service was John H. Parish and B. H. Franklin. "John H. Parish was on detail guarding prisoners at Marianna, FL." B. H. Franklin and George A. Lanier were both discharged at Madison, FL in May of 1865. I don't know if this will help much. But it will give you some more names to look for. I too will be interested in more information about this unit. Thanks, Myrt Mayne
