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
