Watts, also from Jones county. Marlin had an older brother named John A. Hataway, born in 1828, Jones County. We know that John A. Hataway was a brother because it was recorded on Martha L./Marlin D. Hataway's Application for War Pention/Records. John A. Hataway was a witness to Marlin's civil War activities. We were also awar! e that John A. Hataway also served with Company A, 32 Goergia Infantry and prior to active service was a custodian/farmer at Jerrold's Plantation, Jones County.

His wife was Minerva Ragsdale. I think it's quite likely your Joseph is a descendant of the branch of Coulters we left behind when we left GA c. 1813-15. One of Peter's and John M's brothers had been killed. Jesse died in 1795, leaving some small children. They were part of our family and stayed back in GA.

Over 12,000 re-enactors are expected during September 13, 14, and 15 for The Cornfield, Bloody Lane, AP Hill's Assault, and Fox's Gap. This is near Hagerstown, Md. The toll free number is 1-888-248-4597. Also, website information is: www.antietamreenactment.org There is a new interest in the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., in the American Civil War. Recently, August 16th-18th, in West Virginia, the second annual program called "The Image of War-Antietam: A Detailed Seminar on Battlefield Photography" was held. The seminar was sponsored by the National Center for Civil War Photography. The telephone number given for information was (336) 674-3359. As you may know, Camp Point Lookout (Maryland) located in Southern Maryland, in St. Mary's County, was strategically located across from the Appomattox in Virginia. It was a large permanent camp for prisoners of war. It housed about 5,000 people. There is a new resurrgence of Civil War interest and a new book has recently been published about Camp Point Lookout in Maryland. Also, Mark Boatner's "Civil War Dictionary" includes information about Camp Point Lookout, Maryland, under "Prisoner of War Camps". The reason that I am including information about Camp Point Lookout, Maryland, is that I know that there was also a Camp Lookout in Georgia, and you might find this information helpful in looking for your homeboys. Do you see any photographs of my great, great grandfather, Warren Anderson Mitchell, great grandson of Henry Mitchell, Revolutionary Solider, of Jones County? Please help me find his photograph. Warren Anderson Mitchell, from Jones County, Georgia, was serving at Camp Watts, near Notasulga, Alabama, on duty in the recruiting office, when he contracted pneumonia and died on November 20, 1862. He was brought home to Clinton, Georgia, and buried. Any information about Warren's brothers, Ichabod Mitchell and Thomas Giles Mitchell, would also be appreciated. Photographs that I do have are one photograph of Lucinda Christian Mitchell, the widowed spouse of Warren Anderson Mitchell. Lucinda was from Jones County, Georgia. The photograph of her was taken at the Blackshear's studio in Macon, Georgia. I also have one photograph of Warren and Lucinda's only child, Ida Warren Mitchell Duffy. This photograph is of the young married couple, Ida Warren Mitchell Duffy and Thomas William Duffy. I also have two photographs of Thomas William Duffy, one taken when he was between 18-20 years old. I have one photograph of Thomas William Duffy taken when he was older. This photograph was taken at Kuhn's studio. Do contact me if you have any photographs of the Civil War. Also of interest to me are photographs of Lucinda Christian Mitchell's brothers: Hardy Christian and William H. Christian. Both of Lucinda's brothers were serving from a unit raised in Jones County, Company F, 45th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. First Sgt. Hardy Christian, C.S.A., was serving and was surrendered at Appomattox. Private William H. Christian, C.S.A., died at Guiney, Virginia (also called Guinea Station, Virginia, and now called Guinea, Virginia). William H. Christian is buried at Fort Hill cemetery, Jones County, Georgia. Do see that the Civil War records for First Sgt. Hardy Christian, C.S.A., and Private William H. Christian, C.S.A., were discovered in May of 1956 in Macon, upon removal of a confederate monument. Lucinda Christian Mitchell was a survivor of General Sherman's March to the Sea, and if you see war records for my great, great grandfather, Warren Anderson Mitchell, please do see me. I have been able to locate Lucinda's Confederate Widow's Pension Claim, Number 3655, dated August 24, 1891. However, today I am still trying to locate the Civil War records of Warren Anderson Mitchell, C.S.A. Lucinda's widow's pension claim did not have any regimental or company information. We do know that he was serving in the recruiting office at Camp Watts, near Notasulga, Alabama. Do say it if you know any information.
