David S. Brown
- Private
David S. Brown was born in the year 1810 [per military records and death record]. David S. Brown was born in S. Carolina. David S. Brown was 50 years old when he entered the Civil War in Company B Worth's Rebels 10th Battalion of Georgia Infantry. David got sick while guarding the union soldiers in the hospital. David's last payroll was in Feb. 1863 and shows David S. Brown 'sick in the hospital Richmond.] David S. Brown died of Typhoid fever and was in General Hospital #1 [Old Alms House]. David died and was buried April 4, 1863 in Shockoe Hill Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. David's middle initial could possibly stand for his fathers middle name [Sumner] or possibly Spencer [his uncle's name]. David named one of his sons with the name Spencer, as researchers we tend to feel that David's middle name was Spencer, but there is no factual record found to date to verify that opinion. David S. Brown - Enlisted March 4th, 1862, and Served in the Civil War (Confederate War) in Co. B. 10th Battalion, Sorrel's Brigade, Mahone's Division 'Worth's Rebels'. There were 120 men in this battalion.
10th Infantry Battalion (also called 3rd Battalion) was formed at Americus, Ga., during Summer of 1862, under Capt. Henderson. David joined March 4, 1862, from Worth County, Ga. under Daniel Henderson for a period of three years or the war. Its five companies of District #1 and District # 2 and Georgia District - were made up of men from Macon and Sumter, Worth, counties. The 10th Battalion Worth's Rebels remained at Camp Stephens until May 14, 1862 when the company received orders to proceed to Macon, Georgia to guard several thousand Federal prisoners Union Soldiers at Camp Ogethorpe. The unit served on the Georgia coast, then guarded prisoners and stores at Macon, Ga. January - February 1863; the 10th Battalion proceeded under orders to Richmond, Virginia. They were stationed between the James Rver and Cape Fear. The men camped out around Manchester{across the River from Richmond, Va.} David Brown, under Capt. Henderson --- was shown as absent and at the hospital in Richmond, Virginia. David Brown got sick while guarding the prisoners and was placed in a hospital in Richmond,Virginia. 2/21/1863.

Company B
Thomas David Downs
- Private
- b. 1848 in Georgia Served as a Confederate Soldier in Calhoun County, Georgia.
Thomas Downs was Honorably Discharged because of a disability inflicted (Injury) in the Confederate Army in 1861. This is found in the Calhoun County, Georgia Confederate War records. Civil War records in history of Worth Co., Ga. read: enlisted March 4, 1862. Wounded at St. Petersburg, Virginia. June 22, 1864. Furloughed home and never returned to service. Thomas David Downs served over two years in the Civil War before being injured. Because Thomas David Downs didn't return to military service he had his voting rights removed from him in Worth Co. Georgia. Thomas, his wife and family members decided to move to Texas. Some children were left behind in Worth Co. Ga. The cemeteries in the area Thomas & Nancy lived are Bogg Cemetery; Lovelady Evergreen Cemetery; Antich Cemetery; Douglas; and possibly Bynum Cemetery. The majority of the DOWNES/DOWNS family in Texas are buried at Creek Cemetery in the Austonio area of Houston Co. Texas. Traveling was by wagons and horses in the past and families tended to bury the loved one in nearby cemeteries where they lived. Thomas David Downs and his wife Nancy were in the Precinct #4 which is the Austonio area in 1900 census and then they are not in the 1910 census in the area. They either died or they lived with one of their children. A search of the 1910 census forward to find them will be done. After searching I could not find them in any home of their children in 1910 census of Houston Texas. Found! a death certificate at Courthouse in Crockett Texas. Nancy died 9/16/1908 and is buried at Creek Cemetery. There was no record for Thomas David Downs but families tended to bury parents together so he is in high probability buried there too. A trip will need to be taken to check to see if there are two adult gravesites beside or near the other Downs family members which only have stones marking them. The graves will probably be Thomas and Nancy's graves.

The company was originally known as Clayton Sharpshooters and later Benjamin Infantry. His company was the first organized in Clayton County and the regiment left Jonesboro on May 30, 1861. They arrived in Richmond on June 2, 1861 and were initially stationed at Williamsburg. By 1864 he was a corporal. the 10th Georgia was part of the Army of Northern Virginia and participated in many of the major, and some of the bloodiest, battles of the Civil War, including Sharpsburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the Wilderness Campaign. When told the 10th Georgia had broken in one battle, the division commander, General Kershaw, reportedly refused to believe the report: 'It is false, the Tenth Georgia was the first to stem the tide at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Topotomoy and Cold Harbor. It NEVER BREAKS.' (Col. A.J. McBride, 'Tenth Georgia at Spotsylvania'. Atlanta Journal, July 20, 1901.)
