In 1870 Georgia began granting pensions to soldiers with artificial limbs.
In 1879 the State began granting pensions to other disabled Confederate
veterans or their widows who then resided in Georgia. By 1894 eligible
disabilities had been expanded to include old age and poverty. A published
index is available in many libraries:

Zachariah F Taylor of Cobb Co Georgia
Submitted by Alma Harings June 1. 2005
E-MAIL ME
My great great grandfather Zachariah F Taylor
was born in Cobb County GA on Feb. 14, 1840. Zack was found listed within
a previously published Taylor family history as the son of George Taylor
(SC 1772-1848 TN) and Nancy Weaver of SC. Unfortunately, after months of
searching, this writer has been unable to locate any evidence that would
support this parentage for Zack. Therefore, I have concluded that the
idenity of Zacks parents remain a mystery as of this writing and I welcome
and encourage your suggestions at this point.
.
A search
of the 1850 Cobb County Georgia census records did find 10 Yr old "Zachary
Tailor" residing in the Marietta (GA) household of a William Jones and Nancy
Jones of SC. Wm was listed as a 23 yr old white male and was probably
the son of 65 yr old Nancy Jones. Though one could easily assume that she
was the grandmother to Zachary, the true nature of their relationship is
currently unknown.
"Zack" Taylor was 22 years old when he enlisted in Phillips Legion Infantry Battalion Company C
on 3/1/1862. The Legion formed in the spring of 1861 with men from Habersham
County, Ga. Under the command of Colonel William Phillips, the Legion campaigned
in the mountains of western Virginia into late 1861. The weather had been
brutal and many men succumbed to measles and typhoid. They returned to
South Carolina in January of 1862 to recover their strength, Colonel Phillips
had returned to Marietta, GA to recruit additional soldiers, enrolling a
number of men in Company C. While serving as one of the famed "Habersham
Rifles" of Co C., Zack was hospitalised in Lynchburg on November 29 1862
suffering from debility.
In 1863, Zack Taylor transferred over
to Co F of the 3rd GA Sharpshooter Battalion formed in May of that year.
The Battalion was formed by selecting the best soldiers from the five units
that made up Gen Wm T Woffords GA Brigade (16th, 18th, 24th GA regiments
and the Phillips and Cobb Legion Infantry Battalions). The Sharpshooter Battalion then served as part of Woffords Brigade for the rest of the war providing scouting and sniper support.
Taylor Family History Update:
Zachary F Taylor did not fight in the battle at Chickamauga as our family
had previously thought, as Woffords Sharpshooters brigade did not arrive
until the day after the battle. Since they were a "fresh" unit, they pursuit
of the retreating Union army and ran into the Federals who were entrenching
around Chattanooga on September 24th. (1863) They attacked but were driven
back by massed artillery fire taking a number of casualties. Fortunately,
Zack was not one of them.
About a year later on August 16 1864,
Zack was captured by the Federals at Front Royal VA and imprisoned at Elmira
NY for eight months until his exchange on 3/14/1865. Renamed "Hellmira"
by the Confederate Soldiers imprisoned there, it quickly became known as
the worst prison camp in the North.
After the war, Zack Taylor
returned home to Georgia where he met and married another Georgia native_
Nancy E. Osborn in Hamilton County TN on Nov 20, 1865. Later in 1870, I
found the newlyweds listed within the Georgia Census records as residents
of the 974th Militia District of Dade County. (Post Office: Trenton) Zack
was working as a farm hand and his wife Nannie worked at keeping their home.
Unto this union were born six children:
1. Alonzo F. TAYLOR b: MAY 1872 in Trenton, Dade, GA
2. Eugene "Pallie" TAYLOR b: ABT 1875 in Dade County GA
3. Anna B. TAYLOR b: AUG 1879 in Dade County GA
4. Fanny TAYLOR b: NOV 1880 in Dade County GA
5. Thomas TAYLOR b: MAR 1884 in Dade County GA
6. Sallie Mae TAYLOR b: 10 MAY 1890 in Trenton Dade GA
I
descend from their last-born, Sallie Mae Taylor who, as a child, was nicknamed
Zachary. As an adult, Sallie Mae was lovingly referred to as Little Mommie
by those closest to her. While visiting with her kinfolk on Christmas Day
1947_ Sallie Mae suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed and died after walking
up the steep hill of Mud Town in Jenkins KY (Letcher County). She was only
57 years old.
A reunion was held in Trenton, GA on August 19th 1893
for the areas Ex- Confederate Veterans who had fought in during the War for
Southern Independence. My great great grandfather Zachariah F Taylor of
Dade County GA was one of many found to attend on that day. (See link below)
Zachariah F Taylor died at 71 years of age at his home in Dade
County GA on Sept 7, 1911. Nannie survived her husband nearly 16 years,
but after a two-year battle with cancer, she finally died on July 6, 1927.
Even though the widow Taylor may have remarried, Nannie chose to be beside
her first husband Zack at the Whitt Cemetery not far from their home in
Dade County GA.
