According to pension application done in Nassau County, Florida, Malachi was 
injuried in the battle of Chickamauga, losing his right eye and breaking his 
right collar bone then hospitalized for 5 weeks in Montgomery, Alabama before 
being discharged home. Born 16 Nov 1832 Bryan County, GA, Died 15 March 1915 
Nassau County, FL.  Nellie Sellars Thompson received widow's pension.

Additional Comments:
Saw the Roster of the 47th Georgia Co E in the recent updates.  Thought this 
could be added to Malachi's report. Noted others had this information.  
Malachi's pension application can be obtained thru the online Florida Archives 
Civil War penison site.
