What was the first name of the civil war confederate soldier Sgt. Grace of the 4th Georgia Infantry?

Just a little tidbit of information I need for a fictional history story I'm writting...

What was the first name of the civil war confederate soldier Sgt. Grace of the 4th Georgia Infantry?
An F.M. Grace was surrendered at Tallahasse, FL on 10 May 1865. He was paroled at Thomasville, Ga on 15 May 1865.





A Charles D. Grace of Co 'B' enlisted 26 Apr 1861, wounded and furloughed, last record surrendered Appomattox Court House 9 Apr 1865. This company was mustered into service on 3 May 1861 at Augusta, Ga. He enlisted at La Grange, Ga. On 26 Apr 1861 he was at a hospital.





31 Dec 1863 he was wounded and on furlough.





He was sent for exchange from Ft. Delaware to Aikens Landing, Va 2 Oct 1862. Declared exchanged on 10 Nov 1862.





He is on the list of soldiers surrendered by Gen. Lee at Appomattox.





He was in a regimental hospital on 13 Nov 1861 with a fever. I can read the type of fever but am unfamiliar with it. He returned to duty 14 Nov 1861. On 21 May 1864 he is shown as being at Jackson hospital, Richmond, Va. He was furloughed for 60 days. He was shot in the left shoulder by a mini ball and admitted at Jackson Hospital on 16 May.





There are several other records throughout the war.





I might add that there was also a 4th Georgia Cavalry and another 4th Ga unit.





I am an amateur historian and genealogist. If you are researching an ancestor, try to connect to me as a friend. I'll try to remember who you are and we'll figure oiut how to contact each other. I have access to some Civil War records and can point you toward better records which can be obtained from the government at very minimal costs.





Check my source listing if you are researching an ancestor and need help.





Oops, you want fiction. Well, if you are basing it on Charles Grace, I'll send copies of records.
