Subject: Re: [GAWARE] Civil War --Regiment 26th Georgia Infantry--SIMON P. HOWARD B. 1834 Shadri, With your help and others who posted the links to check out, I was able to find all sorts of interesting information on two of my ancestors. I will post them separately, because they are quite lengthly. The first one: SIMON P. HOWARD B. 1834 (SIMON PETER HOWARD) is my grandfather. Regiment Name 26 Georgia Infantry Company E Soldier's Rank In: Private Soldier's Rank Out: 4th Sergeant (also checked other resource) Film Number M226 roll 30 CONFEDERATE GEORGIA TROOPS 26th Regiment, Geogia Infantry (Wiregrass Minuetemen) "26th Infantry Regiment ( also called 13th Regiment) completed its orgnization in October, 1861, at Brunswick, Georgia. Its companies were recruited in the counties of Charlton, Berrien, Glynn, Twiggs, Clinch, Ware, Coffee, and Wayne. After serving in the Department of Georgia at St. Simons Island and Savannah, the unit moved to Virginia where it was brigaded under Generals Lawton, John B. Gordon, and C.A. Evans. The 26th participated in the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to COLD HARBOR, fought with Early in the Shenandoah Valley, and ended the war at APPOMATTOX. This regiment came to Virginia with 1,100 officers and men, lost 37 killed and 87 wounded at SECOND MANASSAS, and reported 6 killed, 49 wounded, and 6 missing at SHARPSBURG. It had 53 casualties at FREDERICKSBURG and 12 at SECOND WINCHESTER. The unit was detached from its brigade to support the artillery at GETTEYSBURG and lost few casualties. On April 9, 1865, it surrendered 85 men, of which 4 officers and 34 men were armed. The field officers were Colonels Edmund N. Atkinson and Carey W. Styles; Lieutenant Colonels James S. Blain, Eli S. Griffin, William A. Lane, snad William A. McDonald; and Jajors Thomas N. Gardner and B. F. Grace." I tried to send links to the list, but I guess they were too long or not in the correct format and they were returned. Eleanor Howard Richardson
