Letter From War Dept.
  Letters from the War Department, The Adjutant General's Office:

Miss Georgia Brantley
Harrison, Ga.
Aug. 19, 1932

  The service of Daniel Harrison has not been identified as of any Confederate
States Army organization from the information furnished.
  It is deemed proper to state, however, that the collection of Confederate States
Army records on file in this office is incomplete and the failure to find the name
of any person thereon, is by no means conclusive evidence that such a person did not
serve at some period of the time not covered by the records.
                       ----------------------------------
  Inclosed herewith statements of Benjamin Thomas Harrison and Daniel Harrison.
                       ----------------------------------
  The records show that Benjamin T. Harrison, not found as Benjamin Thomas Harrison,
Private, Company "H", 49 Regiment Infantry, Confederate States Army, was enlisted
May 14, 1862, at Sandersville, Georgia, by T.W. Newsome.
  Company Muster Roll for January and February, 1865, last on file, shows him
present.
  Union Prisoners of War records show that he was captured March 25, 1865, near
Petersburg, Virginia, and took Oath of Allegiance June 28, 1865, at Point Lookout,
Maryland.
  His personal description is as follows: Residence Washington County. Georgia;
