If you don't already have a copy of his compiled service record, I probably can help you:
http://www.raogk.org/georgia.htmhttp://www.raogk.org/georgia.htm
The record may show where he enlisted.
The National Parks Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System says that the 8th Georgia Infantry was raised in four counties: Echols, Floyd, Green, Pulaski.
You may be able to concentrate your search for him and his family in the 1850/1860 Federal Censuses in those counties.
Searches in the 1870/1880 Federal Censuses for HARBIN/HARBEN may find his re-married widow and allow a backtrack to her home county (likely to be the same as BREWER's).
Have you found a HARBIN/HARBEN soldier's or widow's pension?
Good luck!
