MUSTER ROLL OF CIVIL WAR COMPANY THAT LEFT REDWINE
In front of the Redwine Methodist Church on the Poplar Springs Road,
Hall County, Ga., is an interesting and important historical marker,
placed by the Georgia Historical Commission in commemoration of the
brave men who formed a company and left from this church to engage in
numerous battles throughout the Civil War.
During the four years of fighting this company of 115 men paid a
tremendous price in casualties. The message on the historical marker
reads:
"Co. D, 27th Ga. Inf. Colquitt’s Brigade, C. S. A. organized here in
early 1861, fought in Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Seven Days Battles at
South Mtn., Md., Sept. 14, 1862, against great odds, men of this company
withstood four attacks from a heavy force of Federals, in a great
display of bravery. Later they fought at Antetam, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, Charleston. At Olustee, Fla., Feb. 29, 1864, they
helped drive the Federals from Florida until Lee’s arrival, they helped
hold in check Grant’s army at Petersburg, Va. They fought last at
Bentonville, N. C. and surrendered at Durham, N. C. April 26, 1865."
The following list of names composed this company. Information in
parenthesis is added data, which was found while searching courthouse
records.
