Message: If your Civil War Ancestor served in Companies F or K of the 43rd Regiment, we are interested in any information you can supply regarding your ancestor(s), particularly regarding where they are buried. Any other information you may have including: rank; date of birth; place of birth; date of death; & place of death would be helpful. Any letters, stories, or artifacts he may have sent, told or possessed would also be of interest.

There is a current project under way by the General Barton and Stovall History/Heritage Association(GBSH/HA) (www.generalbartonandstovall.com) to identify the place of burial of all members of the Georgia Brigade Regiments 40, 41, 42, 43 & 52 in order to honor these soldiers for their service to the cause for Southern Independence. Prior research has located over 1,500 graves of these soldiers. There were approximately 7,000 men who served in these units.

If you would like to supply any family information to this project please respond to jo.bailey@comcast.net

Thanks for your time and interest,

Joe Bailey
43rd Georgia Regimental Historian
