James Leggitt
Died July 15, 1862
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/
