David and Ananias Covington were the sons of Richard Covington and Mary Polly H. Payne. In 1860 David lived in Gordon County. Both men enlisted in the Calhoun Blues in Calhoun, Georgia in 1862. Both were captured and paroled at Vicksburg and exchanged at Mobile in 1863. In September they were absent without leave. These men were believed to have been kidnapped in Dawson County by a gang known as McCollum Scout’s. They were carried to Pickens County where one was hanged and the other shot attempting to escape on the Old Federal Road in a place that Luke Tate (1935) called Covington Hang. 

Luke Tate( 1935) states that… 

…the reasons for this particular act are unknown, but most of the killings and robberies done by the two gangs were directed against people who had aided the Union forces in some way. It was during the year 1864 that the two above mentioned bands flourished, the same year in which Sherman invaded and despoiled the state. In the course of his march Sherman was given information by some of the citizens sympathetic to the Union as to which of their neighbors should be raided, and informers of this sort constituted the chief class of victims of McCollum and Jordan. On the other hand, some of the actions of these gangs seemed to be in total disregard of the victim's affiliations (p.212)

A third brother, John H.Covington , served in the 52nd Georgia and survived the war.

The Garrison Brothers

Martin Garrison had five sons that died in the service of the Confederacy. William A. Garrison, Henry Fletcher Garrison and Christopher Martin Garrison were sons of Martin and Triphene Sheridan. Martin and Mary Elizabeth Bradley had two sons: Thomas Garrison and Clayton Garrison. 

Legend has it that when Martin learned of the death of a son he would take a wagon to get the dead son and bring he back to Banks County for burial at Mt. Pleasant. Christopher, Clayton, William, and Thomas were brought back and buried together within the confines of a rock enclosure in the cemetery. Incorporated into the walls of the enclosure were crudely carved markers for these four brothers. 

A fifth brother, Henry, died in Knoxville and is thought to be buried in a common grave at Bethel Cemetery in that town. 

In 2002 markers military markers were erected for all five brothers outside of the enclosure.

Henry enlisted in Captain Dorough’s Banks County company on May 12, 1862. He died at Fairground’s Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee on November 13, 1862. 

I found an uncited description of a hospital at the “…fairgrounds east of downtown in the Shieldstown community early in the war by CSA”.

It was said that Henry was interred in Knoxville at Bethel Cemetery. Burial records show a H.F. Garrison of Company H, 25th Georgia with November 13, 1862 date of death. The discrepancy could be attributed to a transcription error.
