Diane shared a service record on : J.C. York from Polk County and Co. K. Floyd's Co State Guards was listed. (I've listed the record below. He was an older man -- actually fought as a young man in the Seminole Wars) So many of these men may have been over or under age. Then Thomas Lyle, shared this whole roster for these State Guards. I'd love to be able to list more info about each man....(dates of birth, death, burial) Floyd Legion, Georgia State Guards Col. James G. Yeiser Lieut. Col. John R. Freeman Major Thomas W.
