** One of the South's youngest defenders during the War Between the States. Private Clonts was born January 25, 1851 and joined (along with has Father and Uncle) Company "F", 40th Georgia Volunteer Infantry on March 4, 1862. His age at the time was 11 years, 1 month, 1 week.Both his Father and Uncle died in Vicksburg from the effects of the siege, and at age 12, he had only his Company members to look out for him. Apparently they did pretty good, for he survived the War, returned to Paulding County, and now rests in the cemetery at Flint Hill Methodist Church in Hiram. This is the same Church where the Army of Tennessee spent the night of October 3, 1864. "Az" was no doubt with them at the time. --Contributor: Wayne Eckstine (47506225)
