Company H
Robert W. Naylor - Corporal
Robert W. Naylor was my great-great grandfather.

I am fairly sure that he was in Company H, because his son, my great grandfather, James Ball Naylor, was born in Morgan County in 1860.

He died on December 6, 1863, and is buried at the Chattanooga National Cemetery. The site of his final battle, Missionary Ridge, is only a few miles from his gravesite.
