I've just found this information on a tombstone at Flat Shoals Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Stockbridge, Henry, Georgia. I'm not sure if it is my ancestor or not, but I am hopeful. Tombstone reads: Joseph Cook, CO I, 53 GA INF, C.S.A. seen on www.billiongraves.com. My ancestor Joseph Cook died between 1810 and 1822, and it has been very difficult to find any trace of him. He had a wife Mary, and a son, Richard.

Company E

Corporal

1st Regiment, Georgia Reserves (Fannin's) Enlisted when he was in his late 40's on April 28th (year isn't legible) in Atlanta GA. He is from Paulding County (Fullerville/ Villa Rica area). Was stationed at Andersonville where he was discharged on Sept. 3, 1864 and died on his way home in Meriwether County leaving behind his wife and 6 children (the youngest was only 5 years old). I was able to see the Certificate of Disability for Discharge on the website archives.gov however they are hard to make out what the reason is. At this time we are unable to find a grave or death certificate to get a day of death all we know it it could be in 1865.
