Conrad Sellers, born Haywood Co. North Carolina in @ 1820. Married to Artimissia Prince. Enlisted 66th Ga Infantry on September 10, 1863 at Decatur Ga. Sent from camp near Dalton Ga to hospital in Kingston Ga in Dec 1864 died from disease in Jan 1864. Based on reports filed with his widow's pension application, he is believed to be one of the unknown CSA soldiers buried in the cemetery there. CSA Service records have his name spelled as Coonrod Celless. He was my GG Grandfather. A memorial service was held in his memory and a marker placed near his sons grave in May 2003 see web link below.

John Crawford Henry; Son of Jessie Henry. John Crawford Henry Is my Great-Grandfather. He was born March 31, 1845. Family history says he joined CSA in 1863. He would have been 18 years old. He had 6 brothers. His oldest brother, Edward Zachary Henry (E Z Henry) of Georgia 22nd Regiment, was killed on July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg - the second day fighting there. His Brother, Levi, never returned home - assumed killed in action. His brother, Bill, lost his leg in the war.

Phillip Mclntyre (or Philip McIntire) was an ardent unionist. He was drafted into Confederate service on August 7, 1863.
According to the records he was 'Examined and recommended for discharge at Empire Hospital, Atlanta, Ga., because of 'debility dependent on original want of physical stamina,' October 27, 1863.' The 'roll for September-December 1863, shows him absent, sick in hospital.'

McIntire is mentioned in the book 'Secret Yankees, The Union Circle in Confederate Atlanta,' by Thomas G. Dyer. Page 45: 'McIntire, who ran a woodlot for Atlanta financier Richard Peters, told [his friend Joab] Jenkins that he would die rather than fight against the Union.'

On page 82 he declares 'I am too good a Union man to go into the rebel army.'

His ultimate fate is described on page 147: 'Philip McIntire, stock tender for Richard Peters, was arrested after midnight one evening during the fall of 1863 by E. T. Hunnicutt, the deputy provost marshal, and taken to Decatur to be put into service. 'Surrounded by guards and bayonets,' McIntire took an oath to the Confederacy but somehow succeeded in avoiding service, perhaps using a medical excuse procured for him by Peters—a tactic he would use when arrested once again in early 1864. When the pressure increased, McIntire fled the city altogether and sneaked through the Confederate lines, making it safely to Nashville.'

After the war he filed a successful claim with the Southern Claims Commission and opened a butcher shop in Atlanta.

Doc Washington Dial of Coweta Co., Georgia (1820 - 1886) served with the 66th Georgia from 1863 to the end of the war. He received battlefield promotions from private to sergeant. He is my ggggrandfather.

I know S.W Patten, my great,great grandfather died a pow at Camp Chase, Ohio Sept 20, 1864 just 2 months before a massive 10,000 man prisoner exchange in Nov. 1864. I'm trying to find out exactly where he was taken prioner and the cause of his death. I belive it was at Fort Donalson TN 2/16/62 but this is just an assumption I have from reading the history of Camp Chase. If there is any info out there I would like to know more but do not have the internet savvey nor the patience necessary to do the required searching.

Jonathan Burgess enlisted in T.L. Langston's company on August 8, 1863. He was in the prisoner exchange at Rough & Ready, Georgia between Sept 19 & 22, 1864.

Looking for information on Green A. Evans. I have a complete roster of 66 th georgia regiments. My grandfather was from dark cornors georgia and was married to catharine crawford. He enlisted in sep. 1883 was sent to north georgia to fight became sick and was sent to Montgomery Al. to a hospital where he died on may, 23, 1864. I am trying to learn more about him and the regiment, so i hopely can find where he is buried. i have been researching for several years.
