Jacob was from Amherst, Nelson county area of Virginia. He enlisted with his brother Peter in Massie's Mill, Virginia. We believe Peter was killed in the war and Jacob was captured at Gettysburg. I have his application for a War between the States pension which was approved. We would love to have any information possible about these individuals.

Enlisted Richmond, Virginia.

Mustered into service, May 22, 1861, at Massies Mill, Nelson Co, VA into Captain Thomas M. Boyd’s Company G (later knows as Nelson Grays) at 22 years of age. His occupation at the time of his enlistment was listed as “farmer”. Wounded in Pickett's Charge and taken prisoner. Became a doctor after the war, practicing in Milton, WV

This gentleman is my great-great grandfather on my mother's side. This information I found on Ancestry.com, from a sworn legal government document where Mr. Bryant was signing up for veteran's benefits/pensions for those who served in the Confederate army. In his handwriting, he swore that he was in Company G, 19th VA regiment, Garnett's Brigade, Pickett's division'. He swore this document out when he was 66 years old, on August 24, 1903. The remarkable thing that I've found out is that this unit was part of Pickett's charge at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863...and he survived.
