Company A
Bernard Goldstein - Private
My G2-grandfather, Bernard Goldstein, was a Richmond storekeeper, the son of German/French immigrants who had arrived in Baltimore, ca. 1838. He was born in Richmond, around 1840, and enlisted in January 1861, before Virginia seceded, when it became apparent that war was inevitable. Another cousin (or two) also enlisted in Company A--one was killed at the Battle of the Wilderness. Fully 15 of 99 original 1861 soldiers in Company A of the 46th Virginia Light Infantry (Richmond Blues) were Jewish immigrants of German extraction or their children.

I really know little about John's participation in the ACW but I know Capt. John Henry White was captured by Union troops at the battle of Hatcher's Run, VA , Feb 7, 1865, and was a POW until the end of the war on Apr. 9, 1865.
I am interested in learning more and, possibly, locating any photos of Capt. John Henry White. John is my maternal gg grandfather.
