I have been visiting cemeteries and locating the graves of Confederate soldiers most of my life. Since 2009 I have specifically cataloged Confederate soldiers that were marked as such in cemeteries I visit. I also record veterans from other wars and tombstones that really interest me. June 2021: I would love to know who visits this page and what did you think about the work. Please leave a comment or drop me a quick note (greg_green@bellsouth.net)

Anderson was a respected merchant in Fort Valley of Houston
County, Georgia before the War. He was elected Captain of the Beauregard
Volunteers. This company was raised from the men of Fort Valley. The company
was organized into the 6th Georgia Infantry Regiment. At Antietam Anderson
was wounded, taken prisoner, and sent to Fort Delaware. Upon release he was promoted
to Major of the regiement. At Chancellorsville he was wounded. After the battle
he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. In fall of 1863 Anderson was elected the
Georgia State Legislature. He served a term in the State Legislature and then
returned to light duty in order to fully recuperate from his wounds. In 1864 he
was called back to Atlanta by Georgia Governor Brown to aid in the defense of
the city. He resigned from the Confederate Army and ultimately was given
command of the 3rd Brigade of Georgia Militia as Brigadier
General. Within a few days
Anderson is back in the CSA when Governor Brown turns over the militia to
General Johnston.
