Singleton was my GGG-Grandmother's husband, but I'm not sure he was actually my GG-Grandfather's (George Lee Rose) father. The 37th was consolidated from 3rd Infantry Battalion. Singleton was in Company C, 3rd Inf. Batt.

Joseph Smith was my g-g-g uncle. He quarreled with his brother, Dr. Francis Marion Smith, over secession and went with the Southern Cause. During the war he met a gentleman soldier from New Orleans surnamed Armand. He was much impressed by this man and agreed to change his name to Armand which he did at some point after the end of the war. I believe that LTC Smith must have resigned during 1864 or at the time the 37th was merged with other units into the 54th Ga. Inf. Any Armands from Georgia or Florida who cannot find a Confederate ancestor might want to contact me and I can search for a family connection.

Ephraim was my grgrgrandfather.
