Coatesworth "Coates" Hamilton - Younger brother of Captain Joseph Hamilton of Co E, Coates was a 14 year old cadet at Georgia Mlitary Institute at Marietta when war broke out, Governor Brown detailed the cadets to drill new troops volunteering for service and Coates was soon hard at work as a drill master, When he indicated his desire to join one of the companies he had been drilling his father stepped in and asked older brother Captain Joe Hamilton to take him along with his Legion infantry company as a volunteer aide figuring that the boy would soon tire of service and return to his studies at GMI.
