Age 29 years

Sergeant, Company 1, 10th Georgia Battalion of Infantry - Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of Georgia. Original data from: The National Archives, Retrieved from at 3-Fold August 24, 2014 (http://www.fold3.com)

Obituary: Overby, Obituaries Published by The Christian Index, 1822-1879, p. 137. 12 Aug. 1862 - Died at his father's residence, in Macon Co., on the 15th of July, 1862, brother James Leggitt, aged about 30 years. He, like many of his patriotic comrades rushed to the rescue of his native land...became a victim of typhoid fever. For the past few years he labored under chronic disease of his liver, yet he bore up manfully against the afflictions of life, and endeavored to discharge the duties of life, ... as a citizen, soldier and christian. He became a member of the Babtist Church in 1858, and having given early promisee of christian qualifications , was ordained deacon of the Baptist Church at Beulah in 1860. He was an affectionate son, a devoted husband, a generous friend, and when the powers of life were ebbing fast, and the ashy hue of death sat upon his pallid brow, he turned his dimmed eyes upon his disconsolate wife and parents, and remarked that his hopes were bright, and that he was going to a happier chime. This giving evidence that though the dull claws of mortality were hanging heavily upon him; yet his immortal spirit was fast approaching that haven of eternal rest where the bright sunlight of God's Smile illumines each humble christian life. – Roy Leggitt’s Personal Ancestry, http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

Capt. William H. H. Walters
Co. H 18th Ga. Inf.
CSA

William H. H. Walters enrolled in the Rowland Highlander’s as a private in June of 1861.  The Rowland Highlanders was one of ten companies in a new regiment raised by Major J. Johnson and Adjutant John Griffin from Bartow County, Georgia. This new regiment was designated as the First Regiment, Fourth Brigade, Georgia State Volunteers. The regiment began training at Camp McDonald in Big Shanty, Georgia. In August the regiment departed Georgia for Richmond, Virginia.  After a six day train trip the men of the Rowland Highlander’s disembarked in Richmond on August 9, 1861. After arriving in Richmond the regiment was mustered into the Confederate States Army as the 18th Georgia Regiment of Volunteer Infantry. At this time the Highlander’s were designated as Company H. In November the 18th Georgia was brigaded with the 1st , 4th, and 5th Texas Infantry Regiments. This Texas Brigade would play a prominent role in the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia.

As a member of Company H of the 18th Georgia Infantry Captain Walters served through out the war. It was noted that he was injured while on detail at Sharpsburg, Maryland on September 19, 1862. The nature of this injury is not known. The date indicates that the injury occurred after the Battle of Antietam. Nothing is mentioned about any action taking place on this date in the after battle reports of General John Bell Hood (Division Commander), Colonel William T. Wofford (Commanding the Texas Brigade), or Colonel S. Z. Ruff (Commanding the 18th Georgia Infantry). Captain Walters was appointed 1st Sergeant in March of 1864 and Second Lieutenant in October of the same year. There is no record of his promotion to Captain. He appears on the roll of the regiment on January 31, 1865.
