Rhoda submitted some amazing Confederate letters..... John M. Tilley. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/military.html http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/military/civilwar/letters/gmt143tilley.txt John M. Tilley served in Co. D, 15th GA Infantry (Stephens Home Guards) . He was killed on Garnett's Farm near Richmond, VA on June 27, 1862. The last letter in this group was just before that battle. I know you'll find them so interesting, and especially if you did have an ancestor who also served in that unit. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/military/civilwar/rosters/cod15.txt This roster is on-line . Dr. Edwards did an extensive study on this Company in regard to James Lyle. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/military/civilwar/other/lyle.txt All of these combine to make some very interesting reading and we'd love to hear from others whose ancestors served in this unit.
