BF Culpepper joined the CSA in Columbus, GA on Jul 2, 1864, for local defense in Pemberton's Cavalry. He was exempt at the time; probably as a war industry laborer. Sherman was just a little north of Atlanta. Since Sherman did not attack Columbus, I am assuming Benjamin joined the 36th Infantry. He was paroled after a year. His wife Nancy requested a CSA pension in 1907 in Alabama. Benjamin died in 1890. Her request was denied. Washington said there was no record of him serving in the 36th. In 1914, she tried again with affadavits from soldiers who served w/ him in Pemberton's Cavalry and was this time was successful. However, I have not found conclusive evidence of a document where he is on the 36th's roll. I would like to see a document.

She also said there were family stories of how 'Because of a great shortage of supplies, mule meat was used in this and many other battles.'



Documents from the National Archives show Leopold Sitzepfandt was captured as a POW at Champion Hill (Vicksburg,Mississippi) on May 16th, 1863 and sent to Memphis, Tn. on May 25th, 1863. The documents show he was received at Fort Deleware, Del on June 9th, 1863, and paroled at Fort Deleware, Del. on July 3rd, 1863. He was then exchanged on July 4th, 1863. Pvt.

Pvt Leopold Sitzepfandt was sent to Camp Morton, a Union prisoner-of-war camp located in Indianapolis, Indiana and and released on May 23rd 1865.



The 36th Regiment, Georgia Infantry (Broyles'), was an infantry regiment organized with men and officers from Dalton, Georgia , during the winter of 1861-1862. It was sent to Tennessee, then moved to Mississippi where it served in T.H. Taylor's Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. The regiment fought at Champions Hill and was captured at Vicksburg, Mississippi on July 4, 1863. After being exchanged and brigaded under General Cummings, it fought with the Army of Tennessee from Chattanooga to Nashville, and ended the war in North Carolina. The unit was organized with 930 men, reported 43 casualties at Chattanooga, and totaled 267 men and 213 arms in December, 1863. In January, 1865, when it was consolidated with the 56th Georgia Regiment, 232 were present for duty. Few surrendered on April 26. The unit was commanded by Colonels C.E. Broyles and Jesse A. Glenn, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander M. Wallace, and Major John Loudermilk.


In searching records his name is linked to the name Teapeort Lebzepssaner on the National Parks Service NPS.gov/civilwar/search . Also in several family records Leopold spelled his last name Setzepfand.

He served in the 36th Georgia Infantry Company F from April 10th, 1862 to June 15th 1863 where he died of wounds from the siege of Vicksburg that he received on June 1st. He was enlisted by Captain Morton.

Salathiel was a brother of Walton Adams who had to swear he would not fight again as one of the terms of his capture, and release. In Feb of 1864 he was brought to a camp of instruction in Decatur for desertion according to once source I have. Whether desertion or honoring an oath is debatable. Not sure if Walton rejoined the fight later. The death of his brother must have affected him as well as the oath.

Surrendered at Vicksburg July 4th 1863. Paroled by Federals July 9th 1863. Had to sign paper not to fight again in exchange for parole. His unit fought at the Battle of Champions Hill.
