I am new and hoping to get some help. I recently joined the UDC here in Williamsburg, Virginia. My Great Great Grandfather James E. Lightfoot, from Burke County, Georgia, served in the CSA. He first enlisted on 10/12/1861 as a Private in Co. E 2nd Regiment, 1st Brigade, Georgia State Troops, but was discharged on 06/25/1862 and re-enlisted as a Private in Co. C 32nd Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry. He took the oath on 4/26/1865 in Greensboro, North Carolina. But other than his CSA service record and his certificate of marriage to Beda Ann Love on 4/24/1856, other than that there is no record of him or her.
Any suggestions where I can find when and where he was born and died, all I have is approximate birth years of 1829 for him and 1836 for her. I have access to Ancestry.com but can find nothing on them. I contacted the State of Georgia but they told me Burke County Georgia records were burned 3 times and they have no record for either.
I will greatly appreciate any help!
