Many Mayo relatives served in the Georgia Infantry Regiment.<\/p>\n

John Joseph R Mayo (1837-1907) served in the Civil War for the Confederacy in the Georgia 30th Infantry Regiment, Company A (later reorganized into Company I).\u00a0\u00a0 He was mustered in as a private on September 25, 1861 and was appointed 3d Sergeant May 15, 1862. He likely participated in the battle of Chickamauga as he was most certainly active at that time.\u00a0 John was captured at Nashville, TN on December 16, 1864 and released at Camp Chase, on June 13, 1865.<\/p>\n
