I believe Perry Francis Bryant was killed during the Atlanta campaign of 1864, & am seeking further info. as to where he is burried.

Adam L. Palk was my great great grandfather from Jackson County, Tennessee. He enlisted in the 28th Tennessee Infantry (CSA) - Company G - under command of Col. J.P. Murray - Camp Trousdale in October 1861. He was stricken with typhoid fever while on the campaign of Gen. Zolicoffer in Mill Springs, KY. He spent time at a hospital in Atlanta. He was left without use of his right leg & hip. Was eventually furloughed.

Captured January 5, 1863
Held at Military Prison Louisville, KY

Millitary records show that he died January 28, 1862, nine days after the Battle of Mill Springs, KY. From Smith County, TN, and the William Wade family. Assumed to have died from wounds received in the battle.

His records say he deserted on July 4, 1863. He was too sick to keep up on the retreat. His sisters were couriers for Champ Ferguson, and Ed was taken POW and sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, from July-Aug 1864 to May 12, 1865.

Ed Brady's brother. Also too sick to keep up on Bragg's retreat to Chattanooga in July 1863. Listed as a deserter. Gave his parole in Sparta, Tenn. in March 1864, after a Union raid of White County rounded up all the men and boys during the last two weeks of Feb and the first two weeks of March 1864. The raid was an attempt to capture Champ Ferguson, and many Confederates in uniform were simply executed where they were captured.
