The thought has occurred to me that some of you finding an ancestor listed on my postings of the 1st Georgia Reserves and wishing to obtain your ancestor's military records, must always be careful when writing off for those compiled military service records. There were actually two (2) 1st Georgia Reserves. One was the 1st Georgia Reserves (Fannin's) and the other was the 1st Georgia Reserves (Symonds) so one has to make sure to always call this outfit "Fannin's 1st Georgia Reserves" to differentiate it from Symonds 1st Georgia Reserves. If you should write off for their mililtary records and not use the right regiment, you might not get the records you are seeking. The Archives in Atlanta charge for just a search and if nothing turns up in their search, you have lost your money and gained nothing. There is another wonderful little genealogical library at Macon, Georgia that has the same records and their cost is minimal to obtain CW military records. If you need this address, let me know. For your own personal records regarding documentation, the entire muster roll of the 1st Georgia Reserves (Fannin's) is on microfilm at the Archives in Atlanta, Georgia......back half of 254-78, 254-79, and 254-80. If you live close enough to make use of these, you can obtain a copy of your ancestor's military records for only the cost of copying. The library in Macon, Georgia only charges you for the cost of copying ($.40 per page) plus postage. And, they also have any pension applications that were filed in the state of Georgia on record so by writing to the one location, it is possible for you to obtain both military records & pension papers at the same time. Jane

Pam - You should plan to spend at least one day at the Georgia Archives in Atlanta. There you will find all Ga census records. If you find your people in 1920, for instance, you could check the GA death index, located at the Archives, for their death certificates. Then after you order the death certificate, you may find where they are buried. Also, you can probably easily find the two in their parents' households in the 1950 census. All Carroll County records are on microfilm at the Archives. You should also plan to spend at least one day at the Neva Lomason Library in Carrollton.

Pam, I have been told that the Neva Lomason Library has a good genealogy section. I have not been able to get there yet. Susan is right about the food at the Maple Street Mansion (770-834-2657) and I have heard nothing but good things about the Maple Street Inn (770-214-8950). Of course, like most towns we have a lot of fast food, but we have good food at some nice restaurants also. On Adamson Square (center of town) is a restaurant called Pearl's (770-830-9795) that I've heard is very good. If you like Italian, Valentino's (770-836-1799) is very good. If you like Mexican, there is the Lazy Donkey (770-834-6002) for Tex-Mex style or for regular Mexican food, you can't beat LaFiesta (770-830-0620). If you would like to try some Southern catfish, Top O' The River in Anniston, Alabama (about 40 miles West) is excellent and Captain Billy's Fish House (706-675-3183) in Franklin, Georgia (about 20 miles South) has great seafood, Southern Style. A new restaurant has opened in Carrollton called Camelot. I have not been there yet, but intend to try it soon. For Chinese food, I recommend Evergreen Chinese Restaurant (770-836-8136) in First Tuesday Mall. I just noticed that the Bradley St. Fish House is open or soon to be opened (770-838-1111). For bar-be-cue, you can't beat Billy Bob's (770-830-1217). I know there are other restaurants in Carrollton, but I can't think of them right now. If you don't like these restaurants, there are others in Douglasville (about 20 miles East) including a Red Lobster, Chilis, Japanese food, etc. Hotels in the area include a Holiday Inn Express (770-838-0508), Days Inn (770-832-1290) and Best Western (770-832-2611). These are located at the Highway 166 by-pass and Highway 27 South (Not Highway 27 Alt). When are you planning on coming? From where are you coming? If you have any other questions, contact me.

Here is an example of what I hope to accomplish with the muster roll of the 1st Georgia Reserves (Fannin's). Please note that in doing my great grandfather's, who was in Company A, that I have included the county where he was living at the time of enlistment, data from his compiled military service records, data from my great grandmother's pension application, and the place of his burial. And, last but not least, as many of you know, military records do not contain genealogical data on the soldiers so I want to include at least one name of a descendant and their email address so that anyone finding my roster on the web and wishing to make contact with another descendant may do so. Example - ASHLEY, REUBEN - private, enlisted from Heard County, Georgia in Company A of the 1st Georgia Reserves (Fannin's) on May 1, 1864. His compiled military service records show that he was 46 years old, 5' 9" in height, tall with a ruddy complexion, blue eyes and grey hair. He shows present on their rolls from May 1864 through September 1864 while this unit was stationed at Andersonville Prison then is absent on furlough on the October muster roll. There is nothing further in the compiled military records for him or this unit after October 1864 but Sifakis' Compendium states that they surrendered with Joe Johnston in North Carolina at the end of the War. The records containing the muster roll of this company at Andersonville Prison indicates that he was "AWOL" after the 1st of October 1864. His widow's Civil War Pension Application, filed in Cleburne County in the state of Alabama and on file at the Department of Archives & History in Montgomery, Alabama gives the following data: "Petitioner, M.A. Ashley, respectfully represents to your Board that she is a citizen of Cleburne County in the State of Alabama and was such on the 1st day of January 1899; that she is a widow of Reuben Ashley who served as a Private in Company A of the 1st GA Regiment Volunteers; that her husband was killed or died on the 25th of June 1888; that he did not desert the service of the state of Alabama, nor of the Confederate States, that she has not since remarried, that she has no children upon whom she can depend for support, that all of her property does not exceed four hundred dollars in value and that her annual income from all sources do not exceed four hundred dollars" and further states "I lived in Heard County, Georgia when my husband went to war. I had seven children at the time and no means of support except my own labor. He went to Andersonville. I do not know what battles he was in; he was away from home two years; he was sick in a hospital in Savannah, Georgia, was never able to do but little work after the war, entirely lost his eyesight and died in June 1887". Witnesses to the pension application were F.M. Screws and B.F. Hyatt. The pension application was approved and the widow of Reuben Ashley was placed as a participant upon the pension rolls. Reuben Ashley (Sr.) according to family legend, was buried at Salem United Methodist Church Cemetery in Heard County, Georgia. His unmarked gravesite now has a tombstone marker placed there by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. jab50@bellsouth.net - Jane Ashley Benson Reuben Ashley Sr. is, of course, my great grandfather. I am descended through his son, Reuben Ashley Jr. so I have included my own name and email address at the bottom of the above data so anyone can find me, if need be, in order to share personal data on a genealogical level. I have sent Company F to the mailing list but will also be sending all the other 9 companies that made up the 1st Georgia Reserves. If you are related to any of these men, I would appreciate hearing from you. Jane

I have recently begun a project that I have long wanted to do and time did not permit. Now the opportunity has arisen again and I intend to make the 1st Georgia Reserves roster as complete as possible. I solicit your help if you recognize any of the soldiers whose names I intend to post. As you may, or may not know, it takes 10 companies to make a regiment. Colonel James H. Fannin's regiment, known as the 1st Georgia Reserves, consisted mainly of the older men and younger boys who were enlisted during the summer of 1864. At first they were used as guards at the Andersonville Prison. In trying to determine which company was formed from which county, I was not very successful. Some of the companies only show "miscellaneous" which means that when they got the men in camp at Atlanta, they just randomly assigned them to companies. The companies that do show that they were made up from a specific county are: Company F - Carroll County Company H - Coweta County Company I - Carroll County Company K - Carroll County Also, I know for a certainity that at least one, my great grandfather, in Company A, was from Heard County, Georgia. I feel certain that Troup as well as some of the other surrounding counties were also involved but have yet to solve that part of the puzzle. I hope to eventually have a roster of the 1st Georgia Reserves that will include the county the soldier was from, military data (scarce though that be), information from any pension application that was made by either the soldier if he lived or his widow, and the place of burial. I want the roster to be one of the best on the web and I solicit your help if one of your ancestors happens to be listed. These men deserve their rightful place in the pages of history and so many of them have been forgotten or never found by their descendants. Best regards, Jane Ashley Benson

If you like Mexican, there is the Lazy Donkey (770-834-6002) for Tex-Mex style or for regular Mexican food, you can't beat LaFiesta (770-830-0620) >> Good grief--a sophisticated metropolis. I remember when you could double park on the square to run into the grocery. You just left your keys in the car in case someone had to get out. :) Karen

It's a wonderful bed and breakfast in the 1910 home of my great uncle John Appleton Mandeville. The inn is graciously run by Jim and Marlene Uglum. If you're looking for Southern hospitality and something distinctive from a chain hotel, give them a call. 770-214-8950. Address is 338 Maple St., Carrollton, GA 30117. Rates as of July, '99 (which is when our family stayed there) were $69-89. And as for a unique restaurant, again in Carrollton, right across the street from the Inn is the Maple Street Mansion restaurant, which is in a 3-story Victorian home, built in 1890's by my great-grandfather Leroy Clifton Mandeville. Again, if you're in the Carrollton area, and want something unique to the locale, you might be interested. Food was excellent. Sorry I can't help on the other matters...we were only visitors there ourselves. Good luck with your search! Susan Patton Hamersky Woodland Hills, CA

I'm trying to plan a research trip to Carroll County. I've never been there. Does anyone out there have any good tips? Are all the records in the courthouse or is there an annex or some other place where older records are stored? Is there a library with a good genealogy department? What about hotels? I'll be trying to find the names of the parents of my gr-gr-grandparents (and anything else about them): John Hale GIPSON (or GIBSON), aka: Hails GIPSON, b: June 1849 in Georgia, and Mary DEAN, b: 1860 in Georgia, m: January 16, 1870. They were married in Carroll County in 1870. Still there in 1880. In 1900 they were in Heard County. Not sure after that. Don't know when they died or where they are buried. Have nothing on them prior to marriage date. Have very little information on them at all. Their granddaughter (and my grandmother) will be 90 in January. She never knew any of her grandparents. Grandma is really enjoying my family search. I only wish I had started this years ago. I'm trying to find as much as I can for her before she's gone, too. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pam

Will there be a specific person to contact if we have submissions for the Carroll County Heritage Book? Now that the preliminary meeting has taken place, please give more information to those who were unable to attend. I would love to participate with a story about my Carroll County Ballard family.
