Grant Company E 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 who enlisted in the First Georgia Reserves, Company E. It includes the number (order in which their names were written), name, rank, enlistment data of when, where, and by whom, time period of enlistment, age, height in feet & inches, complexion, color of eyes & hair, and occupation. Places of residence were not so noted on this original muster roll. At least one soldier’s place of residence is known – Meriwether County, Georgia. Additional data will be updated as new evidence is gained. These men included 72 farmers, 1 mechanic and 1 carpenter. The occupation on the 1st five officers and the last 22 privates was not so noted. All transcriptions contain errors to some degree due to human nature, the poor quality of the microfilm or illegible writing. I’ve tried diligently to transcribe this document as accurately as is humanly possible. I hope it will be of some small benefit to you in your research for your ancestors who served during the Civil War 1861-1865. This is a “works in progress” site and will be updated/corrected as research continues. OFFICERS: 1. John H. Grant – enlisted as Captain on the 28th April 1864 in Atlanta, Ga by Captain W.L.
