Been there. Nice site. Wasn’t it where Leonidas K. Polk, the fighting bishop, had his head separated from his body by a cannonball?
That was at nearby Pine Mountain, not part of the national park but very close to it. There is a monument at the top of it you can drive to.
Regarding OP's quest, the only plaque I know of, I believe, is at the Dead Angle that possibly lists individual soldier names. I haven't been to the park in a long time but I grew up in the shadow of the mountain.
As said previously, the gift shop / museum at the base of the mountain can direct you to anything of personal interest.
A book OP can search for is "Cobb County - The First 100 Years" which you can find used online. It will likely have some info on your ancestors in the area.
