    3. Dr. Edwards made me aware of another CSA unit which was made up of men from Taliaferro County. The State Guard Cavalry Unit from Taliaferro County, GA was the "Tilly Rangers," commanded by Edmund N. Beazley, belonging to Company D of the 3rd Regiment, Georgia Cavalry (State Guards). You can get information about them at the following websites: For a list of every soldier in the 3rd regiment: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/Soldier_Results.cfm?UnitCode=CGA0003RCS (Arranged alphabetically for the entire Regiment -- not just Company D) To search for individual soldiers: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/Unit_Search.cfm?UnitCode=CGA0003RCS Another site which has this same information broken down to just TWO pages: http://ranger95.crosswinds.net/georgia/cavalry/3rd_cav_rgt_st_guards.html I work closely with the man who runs this site, and I hope to be able to break Company D into a small section, so we can easily see the men in this unit. It would be great to find out more about where they actually served,and also to post on-line any pensions that they may have received in later years. These pensions usually provided witnesses, so that helps others. I'm hoping you will locate someone that you know..... Virginia
