He is listed as being a member of Company C (Floyd's Rifles) along with 8 other soldiers with the same family Ross surname to join Company C.

Walker. The 2nd was subsequently transferred to Wright's Brigade in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia seeing action from Fredericksburg to Appomattox. At Chancellorsville in 1863, the 2nd sustained 28 casualties with 2 men killed and 26 wounded. On July 2nd, 1863, the 2nd GA Infantry was part of A.P. Hill's 3rd Corps and ordered to take part of Cemetery Ridge and crossing the one mile open plain raked by artillery and gunfire before traversing the hill. This was the same field General Lee disastrously ordered Pickett's men to charge across the following day on July 3rd. However, on July 2nd, Wright's brigade successfully reached the heights of Cemetery Ridge and briefly captured several batteries of artillery before being forced to retreat due to lack of reinforcements, a collapsing right flank and natural barriers that prevented the left flank from providing support. As dangerous as the ascent to Cemetery ridge had been for the 2nd GA, the ensuing retreat must have been an even more harrowing experience for these young men as they were fired upon at point blank range as they were forced to withdraw. Many of these men were killed, wounded, and captured including the Second's commander, Major George W. Ross (likely related to Charles L. Ross) who was mortally wounded at Cemetery Ridge and captured while trying to retrieve several pieces of captured Union Artillery. Of the 173 men of the 2nd GA engaged at Gettysburg, they suffered a nearly 50 percent casualty rate. Muster rolls show Charles L. Ross as being present during the Battle of Gettysburg. The following is what we discovered on the Muster Rolls of Ross family members of Company C after the Battle of Gettysburg: Charles L. Ross ....Present. Major George Ross. Present, wounded and taken prisoner...died August 2, 1863. Francis C. Ross. Present, wounded in wrist, taken prisoner, exchanged July 30, 1863, furloughed August 12, 1863. William J.F. Ross. Present, wounded in knee, taken prison, paroled August 23, 1863, on wounded furlough Sept.-Oct., 1863, returned to active duty and promoted to 2nd Lieutenant November 22, 1863. Following Gettysburg, Charles Ross appears present on Muster rolls for the remainder of the war. =================================================== Macon Volunteers Originally Company D, 2nd Independent Battalion Georgia Infantry.
