Jean, Since my previous posting I have found that, totally unknown to me, George Washington Wyatt was the first husband of my great grandmother Angeline E. Hawkins. Their marriage of August 15, 1858 was recorded in Cass/Bartow County. From letters written in the 1860s I have determined that George W. Wyatt had a sister named Mary Ann who married John Stroup and a brother A. (probably Andrew) Jackson Wyatt who married Helen M. Wadsworth on April 25, 1858 in Cass/Bartow Co. After being deemed physically unfit for service in the 43rd GA Infantry-Co. I (formed in Forsyth Co.), apparently George W. Wyatt was able to join Co. B of the State Forces for a time because I have his discharge due to physical disability dated November 15, 1862 (with a notation that it was recorded in Forsyth Co.). He must have died soon thereafter since I have a letter dated December 22, 1862 with a return address of Cass Co., GA written by George's sister Mary Ann Stroup to my great grandmother asking about George's death. I have looked at 1850 and 1860 census records for Cass Co. and have been unable to find a family that seems to fit the info. I have (sister Mary Ann, brother A. Jackson, etc.) for George W. Wyatt. Do you have any information at all on this George or his family? I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
