I accessed my great grandfather's unit, the 25th Regiment of Georgia volunteer infantry, CSA, also known as the Ogeechee Rifles. Could not get past first page of unit members, so am wondering if you have him. He entered as 3rd Lt. and exited as Captain in Company K.

Thanks.

PS I have lots of his personal info, but would like a summary of the unit's activities during the Civil War.

Rufus E. Lester was the Adjutant of the 25th Georgia Infantry.

This gentleman is my grat-granddaddy. I would like to know more about his military career. He was with the Bryan Independent Riflemen, Company A.
Thanks
Kay Rushing

The Body was pick up at Tunnel Hill Georgia by his Father

Enlisted 8/14/1861 at Savannah. Admitted to St. Marys Hosptial, West Point Miss. on 1/10/1865. Served in Co. A 25th Geo. Vol. Inf. Bryan Independent Riflemen.

This company organized in Henry County, Alabama joined the 25th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry and became Company E. The Roster of these men, as recorded in Georgia Archives, is as follows:

I wrote earlier, but now have found that you do have George Archibald Jackson, but do not have his rank and company. Please
add that he exited the 25th Georgia Infantry Regiment as Captain of Company K.
He entered service as third Lt., being promoted to 2nd and then 1st Lt. and finally, captain. I have documentation. He was wounded severely near Orangeburg SC on 11Fed1865 and was hospiralized at USC in Columbia until the end of the war.
