MUSTER ROLL of Captain Johnston Whatley Company I First Regt Ga
Reserves, Army of the Confederate States, Colonel J. H. Fannin, from the
7th day of May 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 I. It includes
the number (order in which the names were recorded), name, rank, enlistment
data of when, where and by whom, time period of enlistment, age, height
in terms of feet & inches, complexion, color of eyes & hair, occupation
and place of residence at the time of enlistment. Although
it is noted that all privates should be placed in alphabetical order, not
all were done so, and to maintain the authenticity of the original document,
I have transcribed them as written.
The soldiers who made up Company I of the First Georgia Reserves
were mainly unrecorded as to residence or occupation at the time of enlistment.
Only 6 places of residence was noted: Campbell County, GA (1), Fayette
County, GA (2) and Carroll County, GA (3). Only four occupations
were noted: 3 farmers and 1 wagonmaker. I have no personal knowledge
of where the men were residing at the time of enlistment unless it was
clearly specified on the original document. As time permits, and
updates are possible, I will continue to research and add additional data.
All transcriptions contain errors. That is only human nature.
However, I have tried diligently to make this roster as error free as possible.
I hope it will be of some benefit to you in your research on your CW ancestors
who have too long been lost in the dusty bins of history.
