Private J. B. SPEARS - Inscription on tombstone #406 reads “J. B. SPEARS CO. E. 1 GA. REG. C.S.A.” He was taken prisoner during the Atlanta Campaign. (May 7 – September 2, 1864) His name was listed on his Federal POW Records as Isaac D. Speers in the 6th Georgia Infantry. The 6th Georgia was not at the Atlanta Campaign but rather with the Army of Northern Virginia. No Records could be located for J. B. Spears in the 1st Georgia Regiment.

While there are some spelling variations of the surname nothing seems to fit in. It is also plausible he may have been with the 1st Georgia State Troops.
