Jeff Carithers' ancestor.
My great great grandfather
was Isham T. Mathis. He was born February 6, 1829 in Gwinett County,
Georgia. He entered the service on May 16, 1862 when he traveled to Athens,
Georgia and enlisted as a Private. He died of disease on January 7, 1863 in
a field hospital at Tunnel Hill Georgia. After the war his remains were
removed and placed in one of many graves that are marked as unknown in the
Marietta Confederate Cemetery in Marietta, Georgia. His daughter Winnie
Mathis Burgess is my great grandmother; she was the wife of my great
grandfather Crawford Taylor Burgess. If you have an ancestor who was in the C.S.A. - please considering joining the SCV.
