I have read in a summary that some of the companies of the 40th AL Inf. were at Fort Pemberton and thus escaped the seige of Vicksburg. That they were subsequentedly placed under Gen. Ector's Bridgade and fought at Chicamauga.
Also, that after Atlanta the 40th was merged into the 19th before the surrender in NC. This might explain how George W. Cox appears in several places in CSA records. Does anyone have any details about the breakup of the 40th before and after Vicksburg.
