I had family in every one of those units except one. My GGG Grandfather served in Co. K, of the 8th. The unit suffered terribly at Stones River. He died at Rock Island Prison, in December of 1863, after being captured at Ringgold, GA. All my family members at the time were from Jones County. The drain of the war left Jones County and the surrounding counties very thin in responsible young men, and was ripe for lawlessness.
