Company Unknown
James A Lane - Private
James started out with the 4th GA Cavalry. from what i have discovered that unit had 3 canons attached to it. Later those canons where reassigned to form clinch's artillary under the younger brother of the commander of the 4th GA Cav. My GGG Grandfather transfered at that time. I assume that while he was with the 4th GA he was assigned to those canons at some point. as i find more information i will make it available.

Joseph was born 26 Aug 1839 in Tattnall Co. Georgia. He is not to be confused with Joseph Tillman from nearby Bulloch Co, Ga who served at age 44 in the 29th Ga Infantry. [Their records are intertwined in the archives] My Joseph has 3 cards in the Archives 4th Reg Ga. Cav Clinch's. not to be confused with another Ga. 4th Cav called Avery's. This unit was formed in Jan 1863 using the 3rd Cav Battn: as its nucleus. It served along the Georgia coast until summer of 1864 when it was assigned to M.E. Hammonds Command. Joseph died of unknown cause on 24 Feb 1865 at Quitman, Brooks Co Ga. I have not found his grave. His wife Sarah Jessie Everett in 1867 remarried Edison Oliver Arnold and moved to Lockhart, Caldwell Co Texas.
