Lieut.William Hoyle Nesbit

  I wrote about this man losing his arm at the Battle of Gettysburg in the last two posts (in September).  Here is his entry in the Find-A-Grave site:

BIRTH:  12 July 1841, Georgia

DEATH:  28 June 1925, Cherokee County, Georgia (aged 83)

BURIAL:  Hickory Flat Cemetery, Hickory Flat, Cherokee County, Georgia.

William and Martha (his wife 1842-1922, also buried at the cemetery) had children George A, nesbit,  Mary J. Nesbit,  Anna M. Nesbit, Elizabeth  C. Nesbit, John G. Nesbit and Hugh M. Nesbit.

The family first moved to Alpharetta  in what was then Milton County, and later moved to Hickory Flat in Cherokee County.
