Civil War

George was a private in the 25th Regiment of the Tennessee Infantry. He enlisted on July 25, 1861 in Tullohoma for a 1 year period, but appears to have served for at least two years and two months. He was wounded in the Battle of Chickamauga and sent to hospital at Newnan, GA. Sept 26, 1863 by Surgeon Fryar.

According to his civil war papers: "The 25th Regiment Tennessee Infantry was organized for State service August 10, 1861, transferred to the service of the Confederate States October 1, 1861, and re-organized May 10, 1862. It appears to have been consolidated with the 44th Regiment Tennessee Infantry about September or October, 1863, but each company of the two organizations was mustered separately and under its original designation during the period covered by this consolidation."
