H. Hartnett Company G First Reg’t Ga Reserves, Army of the Confederate States, Colonel James H. Fannin, from the 28th day of April 1864, when mustered into the Service of the Confederate States. Note: This muster roll contains the original entries of the men and boys who enlisted in the First Georgia Reserves, Company G. It includes the number (order in which their names were recorded), name, rank, enlistment data of when, where, and by whom, time period of enlistment, age, height in terms of feet and inches, complexion, color of eyes & hair, and occupation. No places of residence at the time of enlistment were noted. However, in the list of those soldiers “Absentees without leave (AWOL)” published in a Macon, GA newspaper, the two counties of Pike and Meriwether are noted. Personal information on the first four officers was not recorded and neither was the soldiers numbered 62 through 80. Of the occupations listed, 60 were farmers, 2 were shoe makers, 1 harness maker, 1 mechanic, 1 carriage trimmer and one whose occupation was listed simply as “P.M.” (most likely PostMaster). One was age 16, 41 were age 17, 3 were age 46, 20 were age 47, 3 were age 48 and 2 were age 49. All transcriptions contain errors to some degree due to human nature. I’ve tried diligently to transcribe these records as error free as humanly possible in spite of age weathered microfilm containing dark spots or spots so light as to illegible. I hope this muster roll will be of some small benefit to you in researching your Civil War ancestor’s military records. OFFICERS: 1. Wm.

A story about him was written in 1968 by a family member – Rev. A.C. Turner. It was told to him by Edward’s granddaughters, Mrs. Mattie Bell Burnett and Mrs. Florence Harrison. “During the Civil War, Edward C. Turner was a guard at Andersonville Prison, where the Confederacy held Federal prisoners, and where much cruelty was charged to the officials. Edward had charge of the bloodhounds. One night, three men escaped and Edward took the dogs and tracked them down. To their surprise, he was kind to the men. They had climbed trees to escape being torn by the dogs, as they expected to be. Edward treated them with kindness and consideration. They thanked him, and one of the prisoners, anxious to express his appreciation, gave him a button off his shirt, the only thing he had to give, as a token of his and their appreciation. Mrs. Perry (Mattie Bell) Turner Burnett still has this button and treasures it most highly.” · GDAH Microfilm Drawer 279 Roll # 70.
