James Whitten Dobson and Nathaniel Milesberry Dobson were children of Neely Dobson Jr. and Zilpah Goss.  Both joined a local Pickens County company of volunteers. James was elected Captain on October 1, 1861.  This company became Company G, 8th Battalion of Georgia Infantry in early 1862. The regiment was stationed at Camp Black in Savannah Georgia. In March Captain Dobson died of pneumonia and was replaced by Lieutenant Benjamin Goss. On June 11 the regiment moved to Camp Beaulieu some 14 miles away. Camp Beaulieu was located at the 515 area Beaulieu Plantation on the Vernon River. Gun batteries were established here to protect various approaches to Savannah. On the 22nd of June, Private N.M.

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
