His son, my 2g. grandfather, William Smith, served in the 61st Ga. Infantry Co. 'B' Brig. William D. Smith died of fever in defense of Charleston, S.C.

Have no information on this distant relative. The surname Cozart is one of the more common of the hundred or so variants of the original surname Cossart. Priestly H. is the same person as P. H. Cozart serving in Co. G, 45th GA Infantry. He served some 5 months and was discharged for 'disability.' There is another (sergeant) P. H. Cozart in Capt. Green's Co., Georgia Infantry, State Armory Guards. Is this Priestly, too? Would appreciate learning any information others may have on Priestly.

C. J. Mixon was my GGG Grandfather. I dont have much information for him, other than he died at General Hospital #1 on March 14, 1863.

My third great-grandfather, Pvt. Daniel Beasley, fought with the 20th Georgia Infantry Company G, Born in 1826, he lived through the war and passed away in 1898. In 1864 though, he was right in the thick of it with the 20th Georgia Company G, part of the Army of Northern Virginia. One of the big fights he was in was the Battle of the Wilderness (May 5–6, 1864). Company G was under George P. Doles’ Brigade, which was assigned to Rodes’ Division within Richard S. Ewell’s Second Corps, and they took heavy losses, with over a third of the regiment knocked out of action. The Wilderness wasn’t the end of it. The 20th Georgia kept marching through the Overland Campaign, they fought at Spotsylvania Court House (May 10–21, 1864), where the regiment faced more combat, and Cold Harbor (June 3, 1864). Later, they were entrenched around Petersburg, and he saw action at Chaffin’s Farm (September 29–30, 1864) as well, where Company G lost men at Fort Harrison.

He was later released from Point Lookout in March of 1864, after which he traveled back to Georgia and was treated at the hospital in Columbus.
