Jeremiah James Madison Bloodworth enlisted as a private on June 29, 1861 he was appointed 2nd corporal in 1862 while serving with the Barnesville Blues Company D, 3rd Battalion of the Georgia Infantry. On May 5, 1863 he transferred to Company B of the 4th Battalion of the Georgia Sharpshooters and was appointed 1st corporal. In May of 1863 He transferred to Company C of same battalion, and was appointed 5th sergeant. He was wounded at Hoover's Gap, Tennessee on June 24,1863 and was appointed 4th sergeant. He was wounded at New Hope Church, Georgia in July of 1864. The record states the he died of his wounds at home, Liberty Hill, Georgia.

There is another version.

From the Old South to the New: Essays on the Traditional South {Walter J. Fraser and Winfred B. Moore} Essay: Hierarchy and Democracy; the Paradox of the Southern Experience by Lawrence Goodwyn}.

"A forebear of mine who possessed the unwieldy but distinctly Southern name Jeremiah James Madison Bloodworth who died of his wounds at the age of twenty-four in Richmond in 1864 would not have applauded all of these sentiments."

I find it hard to believe that he was wounded in Georgia and sent to Richmond for treatment.

There is no documented proof that he is buried here; but where else should his memorial be but with his kin? He deserves at least this much.
