Thank you Ann for your assistance to get here. This site is everything I knew it would be! I am wanting to know about a young 17 year old boy from Georgia that was in the 24th Georgia Vols, and perished at Picketts chage. He is buried in Gettysburg and nothing more is known about him. His name is Ben Thomas Canfield. I believe he is part of my family and want to know more information if anyone has any ideas here. I would like to know what part of Georgia he came from and who might be his relatives today. I live here in Lakeland Florida and recently they reinterned some CSA soldiers here in the local cemetary. It is moving and i visit these brave men every chance i do get. I will post some pictures of these men in the future. Again, Any info that can be forward on the man named Ben Canfield will be greatly appreciated.. Thnaks again for your helpful and wondrful site.. Eddie Page
