A brief biography of Capt. Moffett appears in Confederate Military History, Extended Addition, Vol. XII (Missouri), pp. 365-367: "Captain Charles J. Moffett, born in Muscogee County, Geordia on May 29, 1834. In 1859 he was elected 4th Lieutenant of Columbus City Light Guards and was 1st Lieutenant when hostilities began. On April 19, 1861 his company [A] was sent with three others (Macon Volunteers [B], Floyd Rifles [C], and Spaulding Greys [D]) to Portsmouth, Virginia. These four companies organized the 2nd Georgia Battalion. At Gettysburg, Major George W. Ross, in command of the battalion, was mortally wounded on July 2 [1863], while trying to remove some Federal cannon from Cemetery [Ridge] ... Captain Moffett then took command of the battalion ... and afterwards was promoted to Major." Another member of the Columbus City Light Guards was Clement Carrington Shepperson. His story appears in Confederate Reminiscences and Letters, 1861-1865, vol. XI (1999), Georgia Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy. Clement was in 27 pitched battles and was made a Corporal for bravery at Gettysburg. His father, Charles Marsh Shepperson, was living on a plantation ten miles from Auburn, Alabama when the war broke out, while his son was clerking in Columbus, Georgia. The father wrote a letter from Auburn to his brother John G. Shepperson on 24 July 1863 which can be seen at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond - he writes that he received a letter from Clement written from Hagerstown [MD], dated 7 July, in which Clement states that he did not receive a scratch, but his company went in with 36 men and came out with only 16. Clement added that another company in the battalion had but four men at the close of that battle. All the officers of the battalion were said to have been killed or wounded at Gettysburg except one captain and two Lieutenants. 1Lt. Edward Grannis of Macon, in the Macon Volunteers, lost his leg and died on 7 July - his sword remained in the possession of a Lieutenant of the 69th Pennsylvania who had carried Grannis off the field. Another sword belonging to 2Lt. Thomas K. Campbell of the same company, who was shot in the stomach at Gettysburg and later died at Fort McHenry hospital, was exhibited by Richard Ferry at a collector's show in August 1992, according to an article in The Civil War News. A photograph of Private Melanathan H. Cutter of the Floyd Rifles appeared in Georgia Historical Quarterly, vol. 89, no. 1 (Spring 2005), p. 96
