General Notes: Husband - Elias David Waldron Jr
Civil War Pvt. Co. E 26 GA Regt. CSA 4/18/61.
WALDRON, Elias D., Jr. - Private April 18, 1861. Killed at Monocacy, Md. July 9, 1864.
This regiment was formed in March, 1862, in Savannah, Georgia. It served with the Army of Northern Virginia for July, 1862 until it's surrender at Appomattox Court House, except during Longstreet's 1863 expedition to Georgia and Tennessee. Upon reaching Virginia, it was assigned to Drayton's Brigade. During the Battle of Antietam, the regiment was assigned to Toomb's Brigade. After the battle, the 50th Regiment was permanently assigned to Paul Jones Semmes's Brigade.
The 26th Georgia Regiment was under the command of General Robert E. Lee during the War of Southern Independence. South Georgia boys were fighting the battles of Northern Virginia while Sherman was marching through Georgia.
Researchers are reminded that the 26th Georgia Regiment was heavily involved in battle skirmishes throughout their 3 ½ year campaign in Northern Virginia. No other Civil War campaign lasted as long. Surviving the natural elements of Virginia, as well as fierce battles against federal troops was their number one priority. Pen and paper maintenance of Company records took a distant, less priority to loading-ramming and shooting of weapons. Numerous records and accounts were destroyed through the natural evolution of events. Information assembled by Thomas Earl Cleland for the edification of Brantley County descendants and genealogists

Death:
Benton
Columbia County
Florida, USA
Soloman R. Milton was born at Suwannee Shoals, Columbia County, FL. He married Louisa Kirkland on 01 Oct 1879 in Columbia County, FL. Louisa Kirkland was born 20 Nov 1857 and died 17 Jan 1900.She is buried in Oak Lawn Cemetery. They had at least 4 children as follows: Augustus Milton b. 22 Mar 1884; Addie Milton b. 29 Jan 1887;George Madison Milton b. 21 Dec 1888; and Robert Mallery Milton b. 19 Feb. 1894. In the 1910 Census a Soloman Milton, age 51, in Benton, Columbia, Florida is listed with the following children: May 22, Robert 16, Effie 4, and Soloman Milton, Jr. age 1. I believe that Soloman R.
