11th Georgia Artillery

Quatermaster Sergeant Nathan R. Ensign is one of my Confederate ancestors. I have had three articles published about the unit in nationally circulated magazines. I have written a history of the unit that is over 400 pages plus a 130 page roster of 849 men who served in the unit based on their service records. I would be interested in contacting anyone who had a relative that served in the 11th Battalion Georgia Light Artillery.
