Additional Comments:
William H. Tait is the son of William A. and Catherine Tait/Tate. He was born 
in Georgia year 1832. He along with 5 other brothers joined the Civil War. His 
service records indicate that he returned home after the war, but today I have 
not been able to find records on him. He was first located living in his 
fathers home in Stewart County Georgia Census Records for 1850, in the next 
year he was living in the home of Joseph Singleterry, Mitchell County Georgia 
as a Horse Trader. It seems from his records before the war that he worked 
well with horses, and then again during the war.
If you have any further information on William H. Tait please let me know!
Thank you,
Dixie Tait Kirton
