Hello all. I posted a little while back about my 4th Great Grandfather, David J. Stover. I am still trying to find more about his service. He enlisted in 1862 into Company G. of the 39th Georgia Vol. Infantry, and was marked as absent on October 31 1863. Briefly in 1862, he was a witness for John Colbert's mother to receive her son's pay after he died as a nurse in Tennessee.
The only new lead I have is that he was listed AWOL the same day as Lewis L. Davidson. David and Lewis were from the same company and the same regiment. Sadly, Lewis's record is more bare than David's. I can't even find a grave for Lewis, I only know he moved to Arkansas after the war and had 1, maybe 2 kids with an Eliza Davidson. In the last thread, I remember someone said the 39th's documents are a little sketchy.
Anyone's help with knowledge on the 39th GA Inf. or who may help me find out more about David, and if he had any relation to this Lewis Davidson would be very greatly appreciated! My research keeps only turning up rabbit holes and dead ends.
Thank you!
