|
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.)
