Richard, The best I can determine it actually is M. H. H. Gandy and not just H. H., It is so deteriorated that I would not swear to either a M or a W. I went back out there today to double check on the White's and checked Gandy again. I would think this man is an ancestor of the Thomas Co., Website's missing County Co-ordinator.

Then he definitely served as a private in the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment, Co E. It is unusual that someone who died in Richmond would end up buried back in South Georgia, but by no means impossible. A guy who I know had an ancestor, a lieutenant in the 8th Florida Infantry, who died in Virginia and was buried there.. During Reconstruction the Carpetbaggers sold the widow's farm for taxes. She used part of the small proceeds to have him reinterred at Old Philadelphia Church in northern Gadsden County. The house itself is now part of Nicholson Farmhouse Restaurant between Havana and Quincy in Gadsden County. Two of my great grandmother White's brothers who served in the 29th Georgia Infantry Regiment and died during the war, are buried in the Old Thomasville City Cemetery. It is altogether unclear to me when & where they actually died, so I am unclear altogether as to how they were buried in Thomasville. I wish that we knew the stories...
