Please reply to J. Tracy Power [email protected] I'm the author of LEE'S MISERABLES, published by UNC Press, in 1998, detailing life in the Army of Northern Virginia from May 1864 to April 1865. One of the soldiers whose letters I discovered in my research was Private John A. Everett of Company K, 11th Georgia Infantry, from Haynesville, in Houston County; his fine wartime letters are at Emory University in Atlanta. I'm looking for any biographical information at all on Everett and his family; the 1860 Houston County census lists the household as Jesse H., a 53-year-old shoemaker; his wife, Patience, a 34-year-old mother; and three sons: Thomas J.W., a 21-year-old house painter, John A. himself, a 19-year-old harness maker, and Ezekiah, a 2-year-old toddler. Jesse, Thomas, and John all joined the "Houston Volunteers" in July 1861 and went to Virginia with the 11th Georgia Infantry. Jesse died of disease in camp on Christmas Eve 1861, and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. Thomas was captured at the battle of the Wilderness on 6 May 1864; I have no further information on him. John, though wounded several times, survived to surrender at Appomattox. I have almost no postwar information on him, other than the fact that he was still living in Houston County in the 1870s. Any information at all on John A., Jesse H., Patience, or Thomas J.W. Everett would be of great interest (especially any information on burial places). I'm also looking for any photograph of John A. Everett, either wartime or postwar. Any leads will be greatly appreciated
