(CS) assaulted this sector, Oliver's & Williams' troops gave way under a like pressure that broke Morgan's Smith's line at the railroad, only to return at Harrow's command & re-possess it in a resurgent wave that restored it & the broken section north-ward. This action is featured in the Cyclorama of the Battle of Atlanta in Grant Park.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
