I'm trying to assist Tammy in her question about Co K - 29th and the burial of her ancestor, Frederick K. Thompson. 1)Does anyone know where Screven's Ferry Georgia was? If we can locate this spot perhaps there is a burial ground for CSA soldiers there. 2)Was a Battle Fought there in May 1862 --- or did the two men just die of disease in camp on that day? Could this have been a hospital site? 3)Does anyone of Virgil White's book and might be able to see if his widow may have filed for a pension at some time? Melvina Thompson 29th Infantry Regiment, organized at Big Shanty, Georgia, during the summer of 1861, contained men from Thomas, Berrien, Tift, Stephens, and Dougherty counties. For a time Companies A and G served as heavy artillerists in the Savannah area and the rest of the command was at Charleston. It then was assigned to General Wilson's, C.H. Stevens', and H.R. Jackson's Birgade, and in September, 1863, was consolidated with the 30th Regiment. The unit participated in the difficult campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Atlanta, endured Hood's winter operations in Tennessee, and fought at Bentonville. In December, 1863, the 29th/30th totalled 341 men and 195 arms, but few surrendered on April 26, 1865. The field officers were Colonels W.D. Mitchell, R. Spaulding, and William J. Young; Lieutenant Colonels T.W. Alexander and W.W. Billopp; and Majors Levi J. Knight, John C. Lamb, and John J. Owen. Co K was reorganized as Co C May 7, 1862. Frederick G. Thompson's death is after that. on May 12, 1862 On same day: these men also died Singletary, Joseph N.
