Company K, Hamilton Rangers, Forty-Eighth Regiment Georgia Volunteers, Army of Northern Virginia, Confederate States of America by Thomas Earl Holley The material for this book is being researched by Mr. Holley now. I wanted to mention it because this is the third and last company that was mustered from present day McDuffie Co. It will be available sometime in the future. I have no doubt it will be as good as the first two books. |

Thomas Earl Holley
This is a hardback book with 616 pages and a complete index. This book is
written in the same format as the Ramsey Volunteers. It also includes a
special section which updates the information in the Ramsey Volunteers book.
The indepth research that Mr. Holley has done on each individual soldier is
incredible. This company was organized in Thomson and they left as a group to
be mustered in Richmond, VA. Again, if you have McDuffie ancestors that served
in the CSA, you need this book. |

Company K, Ramsey Volunteers, The Sixteenth Georgia Infantry Regiment, Army of Northern Virginia, Confederate States of America - Researched, Compiled and Written By: Thomas Earl Holley ; This is a hardback book with 363 pages and a complete index. Part I of the book gives the complete history of Co K (Ramsey Volunteers) including muster roll, battles, letters written by the commanding officers and some personal insight into the company as seen through the personal diary of one of the soldiers. Part II is VERY impressive! Each soldier is listed and not only is his service record and pension record recorded, Mr. Holley researched each soldier and has provided genealogical data including census records, birth, death and marriage information, children and occupation. All the information is footnoted with the sources given and a complete bibliography is included. The Ramsey Volunteers came from rural Columbia Co which includes present day McDuffie Co. If you have any ancestors from McDuffie Co that were Confederate soldiers, you need this book. I have a copy of this book and I have throughly enjoyed it. Please see below for additional Confederate units that Mr. Holley has researched. |
