I went to the library yesterday and finally found something interesting. Some of you may have it already. 1864 Census for Re-Organizing The Georgia Militia Abstracted and Compiled by Nancy J. Cornell p. 363 33rd Senatorial District - 253rd Militia District Jackson Co. Gathright, W. M. 48 yrs. 3 mos. Farmer b. Georgia p. 469 27th Senatorial District - 462nd Militia District Newton Co. Gathright, W. C. 49 yrs. 6 mos. Mechanic b. Twiggs Co. Ga. Note: I wonder if the William C. is William Croom. If he was born in 1815, he would have been a baby when Miles died. I know the W. M. is William Mosby, probably Jr. I would appreciate any comments you may have. Don, Sorry no Merrill Smith. I realized in 1864 most of the Gathrights were already in Ark. or Union Parish. Candace .
