Darrell,

Darrell,

Would love to see photos, if you have any.

Brad,

I do have some photos.

Elias David Davis. 63rd Virginia Infantry Regiment. My 3x great grandfather.



David Jackson Logan. 17th South Carolina Infantry Regiment. My wife's 2nd cousin, 3x removed. I just finished reading an excellent book on him. It is titled "A Rising Star Of Promise: The Wartime Diary And Letter Of David Jackson Logan, 17th South Carolina Volunteers 1861-1864" A very sobering report of the front line fighting and trials of everyday life in the field. I highly recommend this book for the Civil War historian.



Edward Pace. 6th North Carolina State Troops. My 2x great granduncle. This picture is of him in the latter years of life. When the war broke out in 1861 and he enlisted in Charlotte, NC, he was 21 years old that year.


Samuel W Jackson. 5th South Carolina Infantry Regiment. 2x great grandfather of my wife. I don't remember seeing many photos of men in uniform with a shotgun.

 

[Captain]

Captain, I had 7 of my relatives who fought in this unit as well including my including 3x great grandfather. They were all in Company G. Four of them survived the war. I will post my ancestors who served in this unit and others who served in the war of my family later this evening in this thread.

Thats neat mk. Co. G was mostly from Grayson County. Just a short drive from where I live. I have walked the Chickamauga battlefield retracing the steps of the 63rd. The trail ends up on Snodgrass hill where the regiment captured the 22nd Michigan that was left as a rear guard.

I would love to visit that battlefield myself.

All of my relatives up in Virginia were from either Carroll or Grayson County.

Is there a book on this regiment out there?

 

[Captain]

MK, you are very fortunate to have pictures of your ancestors. I'm jealous. I'm still looking for some of mine. Are you in the SCV?

 

[mk26gmls]

MK, you are very fortunate to have pictures of your ancestors. I'm jealous. I'm still looking for some of mine. Are you in the SCV?

No sir, I am not. I do some reading on the subject, but a lot of the little time I do have is spent on research of our ancestors. That is about all of the time I have to devote to it. Life with young children is hectic! Maybe one of these days..........

 

[Captain]

All of my relatives up in Virginia were from either Carroll or Grayson County.

Is there a book on this regiment out there?

Yes there is a Virginia Regimental History Series book on the 63rd. It is written by Jeffrey C. Weaver and the ISBN # is 1-56190-017-6. My father in law is from Carrroll Co. which is a neighboring county and they are related to half the county. Many many ACW vets on my wifes side of the family too. Mostly the 45th Va. Inf. and the 8th Va. Cavalry. I donated money and was present when Carroll County had to replace their Confederate Monument due to poor condition. They have a very active SCV camp there and the old veterans are well remembered and taken care of in that county. In your searches you may come across the Goad and Allen Fued which is also known as the Carroll County Courthouse trajedy that happened in 1912 I believe it was. The Goads are my wifes people and that fued lasted for many years and there are still some hard feelings around it by some to this day.

 

[UKReb]

Hi Darrell

That is some mighty impressive ACW family lineage you have association with.

A great book that I am particularly fond of that covers practically all the Confederate regiments is "Units of The Confederate Army" by Joseph Crute Jr. All of your family regiments are included with half a page of facts on their history/engagements/regimental strength including how many officers and troops were left at the surrender.

I believe it now to be a rare book to get hold off but copies of it pop up on ebay every now and again. Thanks for posting your ACW ancestors-a fascinating read.

Bob
