Thanks!

I love monkey wrenches since they are at least something new.

re: William Crawford Thomas

Very interesting find... pretty sure this isn't the same one I posted records for on fold3 since that William C Thomas enlisted in 11th in 1861, while it seems William Crawford was in Co. C, 52nd GA Infantry? The early years of enlistment for the William C I mention include some muster roles, though there's a gap until 1864 and then a gap after that. I've looked at the 11th Georgia causality records in Virginia in 1864 on fold3 and find no mention of William C Thomas, so not sure what really happened.

Regarding Ancestry.com, you stumbled onto my image and my note :) That is the origin of the story I shared, that said he died at Manassas.

Regarding William C Thomas of Gilmer Co., GA. That one was a very interesting one I considered early on, due to the proximity to where my William C lived and was in fact married in that county. Unfortunatley his spouse being Elizabeth C. Thomas doesn't match up to Amanda Langston his wife seemingly dying in childbirth in January 1862. Though it's possible he could've remarried I guess, I might have to relook at his records again to see if it would fit with that.

Looking at the records it seems Elizabeth C his widow says there is no other representative, I believe suggesting he had no children? She seems to be residing in Fannin Co., GA which is where Company E was formed. Will have to see if I can locate them in the 1860 census and potentially rule them out.

Thanks!
