Wyatt Author: Lavone Major Date: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 Classification: Query Surnames: Wyatt
I am seeking information on George W. Wyatt whose name appears on the roster of the 43rd GA Inf. Reg.-Co. I with the notation "name removed from roster". I believe he may have been disqualified from service due to ill health or diability. I also believe George W. Wyatt's wife may have been named Ann. The name Ann Wyatt is listed on the 1863 Forsyth Co. Salt List of widows of Confederate soldiers. So it would appear that George was able to serve in the CSA in some capacity and died in service and that his wife was living in Forsyth Co. These people are not on the Forsyth Co. 1860 census prior to the War and there is no marriage record for them in the county, either. I am trying to find out who they are because I have correspondence written in the 1860s concerning them, including George W. Wyatt's doctor's certification that he is unfit for CSA service. This correspondence was found among other letters/papers belonging to my late grandmother, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Barton Smith who lived in Forsyth Co. from 1915 until her death in 1958. She was the daughter of James G. Barton and Angeline Hawkins Blackston Barton and the granddaughter of Uriah Hawkins and Margaret Cox Hawkins, some of the original settlers of the town of Cumming. I believe that these Wyatts must have some close connection to my great grandmother Angeline Hawkins Blackston Barton since she saved these letters, especially George Wyatt's military exemption. Would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who has any knowledge of anything at all related to these Wyatts. Lavone Fuller Major Marietta, GA
