Note: Notes for James Monroe Davis:
On 22 Mar 1862, in Randolph County, Alabama, he enlisted in Co. E. 19th Georgia Regiment, Colquitt's Brigade. He was captured at the Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia in December 1862 but was not imprisoned. He was exchanged. He was wounded by a gunshot (minie ball) in the left thigh while in the line of battle at Lake City, Florida, on 20 Feb 1864. He was hospitalized until July then rejoined his company. Unable to perform heavy duty, he was assigned to light duty. He was present in his company when it surrendered 26 Apr 1865, at or near Greensboro, North Carolina. His description from the Confederate records was that he was 5 feet nine inches tall, with dark hair, dark complexion and hazel eyes. He received a pension, first in Heard County and then in Carroll County.
He and his wife moved to Georgia in December 1877. They were living in House 155 of Rockalo District of Heard County, Georgia at the time of the 1880 census. The 1900 Heard County, Georgia census record (ED 77 sheet 5) said they had been married 38 years and she had given birth to eight, all of whom were living. He was on the 1910 and 1920 censuses of Carroll County, living with his son Walter J. Davis.

Hi,
I have recently started working on my husband's family tree. I'm on
vacation and was killing time and happened upon your Chesley Davis branch.
I believe we are related through James Monroe Davis although I have him
born in 1841 and have a few different date for some of the others you
have. If you'd like me to send the list that I have let me know.
My sister in law helped with the aid of an Aunt born in 1918.
Thanks,
Laurie Bell
I will be home and able to research better around the second
week of August. I will still be checking my email during my trip.
