The 22nd Virginia Infantry's Descendants Page

Listing of Descendants who I've been in contact with since 1999 to 2005

B. Teaford - My ancestor is Fleming Sarver his residence was Craig Co. VA. He enlisted on 27 Feb 1863 at the age of 30 as a private in Company D, 22nd VA inf. He was captured at Droop Mountain, WV on Nov 6, 1863 and went to Camp Chase, Ohio then to Fort Delaware, DE until the end of the war. In the 1880's he moved with his family to Andrew Co., MO where he died in 1906.

M. Sims - Henry Edmund Sim is my great, great, great grandfather. He is buried in Putnam County, West Virginia. I have been researching my family and found information concerning him. I was attempting to find what regiment he served with. The Sims Simms property was located near the Scary Creek battle site

B. Crowder - I am the great grandson of John Milbee, he served in Company A with his 3 brothers William, Martin and James. At the start of the war the family name was Milby, during the war the spelling was changed to Milbee. All four brothers were from the Mouth of Poca, Putnam County, Virginia (now West Virginia). James and James L are the same person. The info about going to King's Medical College, being an assistant surgeon and practicing medicine in Putnam County and Charleston belong to John.

S. Brown Jennings - Joshua Brown was my ggggrandfather. (The Josie to which Lorena refers was my gggrandfather.) Joshua's grave lists that he served as an officer in the 7th Virginia Cavalry, but I can find no record of him. My hypothesis was that he served with a Virginia Militia Unit that was attached to the 7th. Much of the seventh cavalry records have been lost. Family folklore has him surrendering his sword at Appomattox, but you know how family stories go! I am not sure, but I think he is also connected to Robert Brown of Kanawha who served for the northern troops.

M. Smith - SCV, Camp 1424, Gainesville, FL.- My maternal gg grandfather is Lt. Floyd S. Gore, Company G, 22nd Virginia Infantry, who served throughout the WBTS. He was from Logan County (W) Va., enlisted as a pvt. at Charleston (W) Va. at the beginning of conflict, was wounded at Droop Mountain (broken arm and leg....probably from Union artillery). Participated on all major engagements of 22nd. Furloughed at Charleston W. Va. in '65.

P. (J. P. B., Jr.) - My great grandfather, John Lee Bess served in Company G of the 22nd Virginia Infantry. He was wounded in the left arm at Lewisburg and received a medical discharge a few months later as he was unable to use that arm for the rest of his life. The miniball was still in his shoulder when they buried him in February of 1913.

Amanda-John N. P. Faught

Capt. (USAF) and Mrs. W. Hepler-The two members in question are James D. Beckett, and his father, William F. Beckett. We believe that James was a member of the Rocky Point Greys, specifically, in Wise's Brigade, and eventually, in Echols brigade. My wife is attempting to justify a lineage for the Daughters of the Confederacy, and these two men would be her Maternal Great Great Grandfather and GGG Grandfather respectively.

J. Craft-my great-great grandfather James Fredrick Craft... He could be listed as James Craft or Fredrick Craft on the official records of the 22nd Va Inf Regt...

W. Miller-I'm trying to get information on John (ol Jack) Acord and Robert Acord, which served in the 22nd Va., such as enlistment dates, discharge dates, etc.

D. Nelson-My great-great grandfather, Thomas Ingram Stone was killed at Lewisburg, May 27, 1862. His son, George Washington Stone, was present when his father died. These men came from Henry County. I am not sure how they came to be in the 22nd, if indeed they were.

C. Herndon-Looking for service record of George N. Cofer. He enlisted 5/30/1861 and was wounded at Cedar Creek 10/19/64 and died at the Richmond Old Soldier's Home 7/2/1919.

D. Halstead-From the family history book I have it shows 12 Halstead served with the 22nd and 2 in the 36th. I'm very interested in learning more about the 22nd. Many of my decedents fought in the various companies of the 22nd. Do you have any pictures or info on any Halstead, Miller, Mann, Meek, Wiseman, and Campbell?

P. Trautt-Henry S Troutt-as my great grandfather. He resided in Craig County on sinking creek near Simmonsville.

D. A. Seals-My g-g-grandfather, Nathaniel (Nathan) Wilson Withrow, was in the 22 Va Infantry, Co A (1st Kanawha Regiment) in Putnam County, VA (WV).
