Martin, the author of, “I Will Give Them One More Shot”. I enjoyed you book immensely. Thank you for writing it. <br /><br />I live in Coweta County, fact right next door to John B. Goodwyn’s house. I became familiar with John B. while researching the John Bailey (7th GA) family whose house I live in next door to Goodwyns. And then I discovered the Ray boys in the 1st GA, Lavendar and John D. Ray Jr. during a national register nomination I did for a school in this county that John D. Ray Jr. provided the land for in 1909. <br /><br />Interesting about the murder. I haven’t found the grave of Meyer in Coweta county listed in the cemetery book. Perhaps he was from another close by county? I’ll look around and check other sources. Unfortunately, there are very few newspapers from Newnan during the War to follow up on a very intresting but sad story human interest story. <br /><br />Tom<br /><br />L-4Hpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921147995951506286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698332577736967118.post-82664509248179121142015-02-02T21:26:28.552-05:002015-02-02T21:26:28.552-05:00Thomas,

Cabiness, who was a private in the Quitman Guards, and then later Captain of the Dahlonega Volunteers, wrote a letter to Lavendar Ray in 1884 stating that James J. Stokes of Co. K was a farmer when he enlisted, that he was never tried but imprisoned and released about the time of Seven Pines. Cabiness stated that Stokes died Oct. 1867 in Monroe County, and was insane at the time he killed Meyer. Cabiness also stated that Stokes had a daughter who had been committed to the Lunatic Asylum in Milledgeville. This letter is in the George Hanvey collection held at the Hargett Library, University of Georgia.George W.

I can't find Bernard H. Meyer in the Coweta county 1860 census where he would presumably be. Nor is there a grave listed for him the county's cemetery book which also seems a bit odd. Where did you find out the information about the history of Stokes being released, retuning to Georgia and dying in 1867?
