Comments: Hi,
Thanks for posting the grave dedication ceremony for William Day. That is my great grandfather! We are very proud of our southern heritage. Just so happened that the ceremony took place on my daughters 20th birthday! I could not go due to work obligations. Do you have a service that notifies of reenactment events?
I would like to come out and see the 8th infantry in action. I have seen a few one here at the Horse Park in Conyers. It was remarkable with calvery, cannons and all the tents. Like stepping back in time.
Guess our grandfathers fought side by side.
Thanks again,
Karen

Comments: My great-great grandfather wae a member of the 8th and is mentioned in your brief bio section. He may also be pictured in the photo taken in 1903. We suspect he is the gentleman in the front row; second from the left. We have a pictuer of him in his uniform from around the same period.

Comments: My Great-great grandfather, Alexander Allen Bohannon, was listed as serving in the 8th Infantry Regiment, Company I, as a 4th Sergeant from 9/10/1863 until 01/31/1864. There is some question as to the company as some information I have stated Company F. He lived in Newton County, so the Company I seems more reasonable. I don't find any mention of him in your rosters since these are from 1861.

Comments: Came across the web site while researching for information on Fred F. Norton of Rome, Georgia. I have a diary he kept covering the period 6 Feb 1865 through 29 April 1865. He was at Appomattox at the surrender and then traveled home. In reviewing the list I don't see his name. This is the information he recorded in his diary:
Fred F. Norton
Private Co. C. 8th Ga Reg't.
Andersons Brig.
Army, N.Va.
I would appreciate any additional information or direction where to find additional information. Thanks.

Comments: Wonderful site, I found it while searching for information on my ancestor. He was in Company K -- Epps, Joseph----- private August 26, 1862. Wounded at Spotsylvania, Va. May 12, 1864. Surrendered, Appomattox, Va. April 9, 1865. My Grandpa told me of his Grandpa, Joseph, from a story passed down to him. The verbal story I was told matched these records very closely. Thanks again for a great site. I noticed an Arnold in Company K as well, I guess I'll have to check that one out now.

He has no direct descendants since he was unmarried and died at Gettysburg in July, 1863. He was from Sterling Bluff Plantation on the Ogeechee River in Ways Station, Bryan County, Georgia. His body with the others who died at Gettysburg was returned to Savannah in 1871. Now he is buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery here in Savannah, GA.

Robert Richards, Jimmy Justice and my self have done considerable family research concerning Cap't Billy. I would appreciate any info about his three daughters and his Father R S Henderson. Also his brothers and sisters. Why was he appointed Captain after his capture? When asked, " Will you pledge allegience to the government he stated I never un-pledged".

Comments: Hello, I found your site as I was researching the 8th Georgia to look at the flag. I grew up in a home that was General Johnson's headquarters in Kingston. There I found in an old book a drawing of the flag on about a 4 x 6 card. It's the Second Bunting ANV flag. The red color appears to be done with blood. Very interesting piece. I've researched the troops in Kingston but couldn't find where the 8th Georgia was there during the Atlanta campaign. Along with the drawing I also found some Confederate money. I enjoyed your site.

Unfortunately, the link to the photo didn't work, so if anybody knows of a photo of him and is willing to forward it to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Again, a very informative website, I have forwarded the link to all of my relatives!
