Whitleys-Harris, Muscogee Cos., GA

Emily, I was born in Harris Co. Ga. in 1943. Most of my relatives on the Whitley side are from Randolph Co. Alabama. I just traced to my gr. gr. grandfather, John H. Whitley (born in Montgomery Co. N.C.) who was in the Civil War (Confederate side). I know of no other Whitleys in Harris County, Ga. besides my immediate family. I have heard family stories about "Concrete" and road building, though!
Both John H. and his brother, James Whitley, were in the 42nd Regiment, Alabama Infantry. John was wounded in the Battle of Atlanta, and James served until the final surrender and was a POW.
Think there's any connection?
