6th Georgia Infantry
Company A
Agustus W Bishop - Private
I Have not located Agustus's military record. His CSA gravestone is located at Westview Cemetery, Moultie, Colquitt County Georgia. He was the husband of my 2nd cousin Josephine Chapman 1844-1923 of Talbot, County Georgia. His family sent most of their young men off to fight the northern invaders... Many were wounded, some died. All fought the good fight.
