A Brief History of the 10th Battalion Georgia Infantry by Dennis B. Miller Historian for the 10th Battalion Georgia Infantry dnmiller@bellsouth.net The 10th Battalion was organized at Griffin, Ga, March 17, 1862, of companies mainly from Macon, Worth, Sumter and Bibb Counties. There were also men from counties surrounding each of the aforementioned counties. A 5th company was formed in July '62. In 1862, the Battalion guarded prisoners held at Camp Oglethorpe in Macon from May to December. They also guarded military installations within the city of Macon. They were sent to Virginia in December 1862 and attached to G.T. Anderson's Brigade through April '63. They did not guard any prisoners other than those at Macon. They participated in the Suffolk Campaign of Apr '63 and were later unattached from any brigade and posted at Franklin, Va, for 8 months from August '63 to Apr '64. They did not serve in N. Carolina except for patrols from Franklin. In April '64, the Battalion was attached to A.R. Wright's Brigade and participated in the campaign from the Wilderness to Petersburg from May to June '64.
