Patrick Washington Fitzsimmons

1841 – 16 Aug 1871

CSA 36th Inf Ga

Patrick enlisted in Captain Jacob L. Morgan’s company in Dalton, Georgia. This company became Company I of the 36th Georgia Infantry Regiment.  He was surrendered on July 4, 1863 in Vicksburg. He signed an oath to not take up arms as a parolee. After capture he admitted that he was loyal to the Union but was conscripted and forced to serve. He admitted to deserting prior to his capture. He apparently refused parole and was sent north and ended up in Camp Douglas POW camp in Chicago, Illinois. In May of 1865 he was discharged from Camp Douglas. 

Note: His father founded Long Swamp Marble Company in eastern Pickens County, Georgia. He and his father along with other of his family and a few unknown females and infants rest in a hill side overlooking the modern marble industry down in the narrow valley cut by the East Branch of Long Swamp Creek
