Was paroled and took the Oath on May 25, 1865. Walked back to Troup County, GA taking 3 months as he worked for food and clothing along the way.

Enlisted on 10 March 1863 at Franklin, Ga by Lt. Simms. Granted a 30 day furlough in 1863; reason unknown but family records indicate birth of a daughter the same year. Seems unlikely a furlough would be granted for a private (or anyone else) for those circumstances; however, he was granted furlough for some reason. Present on many company muster rolls in receipt of pay/clothing in 1863, 1864, 1865. Pardoned at Appomattox 9 April 1865.

Born 1835. Died 1895.

Have no information on this distant relative. The surname Cowsert is one of perhaps a hundred variants of the original surname Cossart. William, aka W. J., was also in Co. G. Would appreciate learning any information someone else may have on Mr. Cowsert. See also James H. Cowsert in the 46th GA Inf. and Ickabod Cowser, 55th GA Inf.

William Henry was my great-great-grandfather.

At Fredricksburg was seriously injured and lost his left leg.
Fought at many major battles Seven Pines, Mannasas, Raid into New Jersey(never heard of it but a source says it happened)
Harpers Ferry, Fredricksburg, Seven days battle around Richmond. Not a dircet relative but a great cousin or uncle.
Source is Memoirs of Georgia Volume 1. According to memoir his great grandfather was James McDaniel, his grandfather William McDaniel, and father James McDaniel of Gwinnett born in 1812 in South Carolina. Source says Great Grandfather from Ireland and settled in Virginia later moving to South Carolina. I am related to his grandfather who was also the founder of Lilburn.

GGG-Grandfather

1837-1862 Died in hospital in Virginia.

1833-1864 Killed at the Battle of Jericho Mills in Hanover County, Virginia.

My great grand-father was the company G wagoner. 'I suspect' he being an older soldier [35] and most of the others being around 22- 24, was given the job of driving the company wagon. It carried the common property. Maybe he was unable to keep up. So many didn't come home. This job perhaps enabled him to come home and father my grand-daddy---my dad--&--Me. I'm only speculating. If you know otherwise let me know...He never owned a slave but went to war because his neighbors, friends, and relatives went. The right thing to do!!!! 'This, I'm not speculating'... I'm proud to be called 'Jeff' as he was.
