Just added my 2X great grandfather to the list.

He joined in Chatam Co. North Carolina in 1862 and was with the company until the end of the war. He served as a teamster. I have copies of his muster roll and a copy of his application for confederate pension in 1920. He settled after the war in Marshall Co. Mississippi married Marie Antoinette Riddle, farmed and raised a family.

Killed June 26, 1863 at the battle of South Anna Bridge, VA
Joe Cash was only 16 years old. He was received at Wayside Hospital or General Hospital # 9, Richmond, VA.

WHERE WAS HE BURIED??

Joseph Cash name is found on the Roll of Honor of this Company, 44th North Carolina Troops.

An interesting incident occured furing the battle that day involving Private Joseph H. Cash of Company !. 'The Yandees..charged at the South Ann Bridge and a hand-to-hand fight ensured around a little cabin, on the porch of which Colonel Tazewell L. Hargrove of the 44th regiment N.C. Troops was standing, fighting with serveral Yankees at one time. One gigantic trooper, with drawn sword, was rushing on him when Joe Cash, a mere boy sixteen years old, pierred him with his bayonet, and as he fell another trooper shot Joe, and he fell across the man he had just killed. Before he fell a Yankee called on him to surrender, and though he saw they were overwhelmed by number, the replied, 'Ill never do it, till my colonel tells me,' and he fought on until he was killed.' (Confederate Military History, Volume IV, page 409.)

Hartwell was killed near Petersburg with McRaes Brigade on September 30- Oct 1, 1864 as reported in the Weekly Conservative Oct 19, 1864. He was married to France Royster and the father of four girls. Having no sons, his name died with him.

I have recently found out about Samuel Morgan & his service during the War of Northern Aggression.

Preston was from Mount Gilead, Montgomery Co NC. He was in poor health but insisted on enlisting, which he did on 2 Mar 1863. His unit moved to Richmond where he was afflicted by Typhoid Fever. He died 23 May 1863 about 10 weeks after enlistment.

G.W. Barbee enlisted at 'Clover Orchard' in Alamance Co., NC on Mar 31,1862. He mustered in as private in Company G. He was promoted to corporal in Jun 1863 and promoted to sergeant subsequent to Oct 31, 1864. He was captured at the Appomattox River, VA on April 3, 1865 during the Confederate retreat from Petersburg toward Appomattox Court House. He was confined at the Federal Prison Camp at Point Lookout MD and was released on Jun 23, 1865 after taking the Oath of Allegiance. He was made regimental flag bearer on May 2, 1864 at The Wilderness after nine other flag bearers in the regiment had been killed in that battle. He carried the regimental flag until the night before he was captured, when he wrapped the flag in a stone and throw it in the Appomattox River as the remnants of the regiment crossed the river on a ferry after the Battle of Sutherland Station VA. He said 'No enemy can ever have a flag of the Forty-fourth North Carolina Regiment.'
