Married 18 Oct. 1866 to Carswell Gilford Lightfoot in Crawford County and died 2 Nov 1915 in Texas. Her parents(I believe) were Kenneth Leonard Britt 1826-1903 and Elizabeth Mathis 1822-1904. Also Carswell's father is usually listed as Benjamin Lightfoot but I just came across a reference to him as Philip Benjamin Lightfoot. Does anyone have any corresponding inormation?

I did not participate in the battle. I was detailed from the Army of Northern Virginia and sent to Georgia, my home State, to buy horses for the Confederate government for cavalry and artillery purposes. I was riding along looking for horses for sale eight or ten miles west of Milledgeville, when I distinctly and very unexpectedly, heard field artillery. I banished all thought of my mission and put out as fast as my horse would carry me in the direction to ascertain the meaning of the cannonading. The only weapon I had with me was my fine cavalry pistol. My idea was to serve as courier. After riding fifteen or twenty miles, my horse almost exhausted, I rode right into Iverson's command. > > The battle had ceased, and I was told that Stoneman had surrendered near what is now known as Round Oak. Just at that time General Iverson was informed that one of Stoneman's regiments had stampeded. Iverson did not have men enough to make pursuit. He was busy rounding up the rest of Stoneman's command. Seeing that the fighting was over and no courier was needed, I, with several citizens, put out after the fleeing regiment, though not with any hope of catching them on their wild stampede. They made no effort to follow any road or path, but going east they ran over bushes, rail fences, and gullies. > > After going about two miles, we came to a gulley in a pine thicket, about eight feet deep and twelve or fifteen wide, in which there were many horses and men, nearly all of which seemed to be dead. Those in front had filled the gulley, and the others passed over the gulley on the men and horses that filled it. One or two men and horses were killed in crossing a small branch on a pole bridge something like two miles beyond the big gulley mentioned. > > The first three or four miles of the stampede the men seemed to have bunched pretty well, making a roadway about thirty feet wide. It was almost as clear of bushes, weeds, and everything of that kind as a regular public road. Even the ground rails of fences were torn from their places, and one could scarcely tell that there had ever been a fence there except by the fences on either side of the newly made road. > > I was about to forget to state that the clothes of the men and the hide of the horses that filled the gulley already mentioned were badly torn by the shoes of the horses as they passed over them, the flesh of both being considerably mangled. I suppose there were twelve or fifteen horses piled in the gulley and half as many men. > After about four miles of this wild and reckless riding, the trail became wider and wider and more dim. Here the stampeders crossed a large public road, where I left the trail and took the public road back to where I started from that morning. > > I spent the afternoon and until nine or ten o'clock at night sending word to young ladies in the neighborhood and to two or three young boys to meet me at a designated point the next morning and we would take a horseback ride over the battlefield and trail of the stampeded Federals. The battlefield was a novel sight to the girls. The floor of Sunshine Church was almost covered with wounded soldiers. Horses, guns, pistols, and the like were to be seen all around, with now and then a dead soldier. When we reached the gulley that had been filled with men and horses, the awful sight caused nearly all of the girls to shed tears, and one or two almost collapsed. We followed the trail to where I left it the day before and farther on for about five miles. The stampeders took the second public road to Eatonton, where about two hundred of them stopped in the woods that night. They made their way back to Sherman's army. > > When General Sherman's army passed through this section. several persons living here recognized several men who were with General Stoneman in the battle of Sunshine Church. These Yanks inquired particularly about Joe Funderbeck. Joe was at home on furlough, and his mother and sisters persuaded him to put on one of his mother's dresses as a disguise. Stoneman's men detected his disguise and captured him as a spy, and took him on the wild stampede to Eatonton to hang him, but Joe slipped away in the night. Joe says all his dress was torn off of him except the. collar, and his own clothes were badly torn on the wild ride. > > > > ==== GACRAWFO Mailing List ==== > Check the Macon County Georgia Web site for old newspaper articles http://www.rootsweb.com/~gamacon/index.html > >

WILLIAM R. DELOACH. > > Comrade William R.

An old comrade once pointed to him. as the only man he ever knew who was absolutely devoid of personal fear. This statement is not literally true. DeLoach's intelligence recognized the hazard of battle, but his true moral courage rose above it. To him "duty" to himself and family and love of country were higher than all else, and made him bear himself as if ignorant of fear. He served with honor in Virginia, being badly wounded at Sharpsburg while climbing over the Federal breastworks, and later on was shot down at Mine Run while voluntarily leading a charge which was the duty of superior officers.

Receiving his promotion at his return, he was assigned to Forrest's Cavalry and made captain of a company of independent scouts. Near Decatur, Ala., he was captured and kept on Johnson's Island until July, 1865. > > The hardships of war bore lightly upon the youthful soldiers of the South. Their courage was inherited, the strength and joy of comradeship were theirs, and, like their ancestors, they met the foes of their country with inborn steadfastness. It was natural for DeLoach to fight, he had a knowledge of the questions at issue. > > But it was after he returned home in 1865 that the real test of manhood came to DeLoach and to the men of his class.

From the town of Livingston, DeLoach's home, to the northern boundary of the county the proportion of blacks to whites was larger than in any other county in Alabama. The negroes almost from the first were under the control of aliens and renegades, and the struggle for existence was on in earnest. Reconstruction, with its deliberate plan to subject the native white people to their former slaves, was an unspeakable horror, to be resisted to the death. If the true story of reconstruction in the Black Belt of Alabama should ever be told, DeLoach's name would be written high up on the roll of honor. His judgment and cou! > rage were with him under all conditions.

Governor Oates died last October, and since that time former Senator James H. Berry, of Arkansas, has been in charge of the work. In executing the law General Oates and General Berry have found in several places, among them Point Lookout, that the remains of Confederates had been removed from the places of original burial, and in the reinterment the identity of the remains had been lost, making it difficult to erect separate headstones. * * * > > Point Lookout is at the southern extremity of the peninsula separating the Potomac River from Chesapeake Bay. A large prison camp was maintained there during the war, and many Confederate soldiers and sailors died there. A prison cemetery was established near the camp, where 3,384 were buried. Some years after the close of the war a small tract of land was acquired by the State of Maryland at some distance from the original place of interment. There the remains of the Confederate dead were reinterred and a small monument built to their memory. The transfer of the remains was carried on under such conditions that General Berry believes it practically impossible to erect the small marble tablets with any assurance that they would indicate the resting places of the Confederates in whose memory they were to be erected. > > In a letter received by Senator Warren from Secretary of War Dickinson the statement is made that in view of the uncertainty of identification the proper authorities of Maryland refuse to permit the establishment of the small marble markers, but are willing to permit the erection of a central monument containing tablets upon which the names of the individual Confederates can be inscribed. A contract has therefore been let for the construction at Point Lookout of a central mass of masonry of suitable form on which are to be placed bronze tablets containing the names of the dead. The monument is to be completed by September, 1911. > > To grant legislative authority for this work Senator Warren reported to the Senate a joint resolution, which was passed, granting authority to erect the monument and extending the Foraker act for two more years. Otherwise its provisions would expire February 26, 1911. > > General Berry reports that 14,617 separate headstones have been placed over the graves of Confederate sodiers under the Foraker act, while the monuments to 4,400 more at Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago, and to 3,384 at Point Lookout will bring the total to 22,401 by next September, leaving only a few hundred more graves to be marked. > > > > ==== GACRAWFO Mailing List ==== > "Not for fame or reward, not for place or rank, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity; but in simple obedience to duty as they understood it; these men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all, - and died." > --Rev.

Regarding the jails as insecure, Gov. William Dennison ordered the erection of barracks on some land which the government leased, these barracks forming what was known as Camp Chase. This was for privates and noncommissioned officers, the officers being carried to Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie. > > The first prisoners in Camp Chase were from the 23d Virginia Regiment, who were captured in the Kanawha Valley, but these prisoners, more fortunate than most, were soon exchanged. More rapidly took their places, however, and in 1863 there were eight thousand Confederates held in confinement in this one prison. In 1863 three women, a mother and two daughters eighteen and sixteen years of age, who were brought from Nashville, Tenn., were held prisoners in Camp > > Chase. These ladies had been very active in giving information to leaders and in aiding Confederate soldiers. > > The lease of the land, which was held by the government, continued till April, 1879, when the place was purchased by government authority and held as a Confederate cemetery, as two thousand three hundred Southern soldiers were buried there. While Rutherford B. Hayes was Governor of Ohio, the cemetery was put in good order and a man was employed to take care of it, but Governor Bishop refused to allow this expenditure of twenty five dollars a year, and the cemetery was allowed to grow up in weeds and underbrush. When Senator Foraker was made Governor, he called the attention of the government to the neglected condition of the graveyard, and an appropriation was made to put it in order and maintain it. A substantial stone wall has taken the place of the wooden fence which had surrounded the cemetery, which fence was built of the planks, from the old barracks when they were torn down after the war. > > > ==== GACRAWFO Mailing List ==== > 750,000 men from the South faced 2 million men from the North . 2 million men could not defeat 750,000 Southern troops what did defeat them was disease, hunger, lack of money and supplies. > >

An interesting letter comes from Mr. Grover G. Pyles, of Santa Barbara, Brazil, who writes of the Southern families who left the States after the surrender and went to Brazil in search of new homes, feeling that there could be no more happiness in the old homes under the changed conditions. Most of the Confederate veterans who went out are now dead, but Mr, Pyles mentions a few now living in that section viz.. Dr. Robert Norris, H. Clay Norris, Lieut. Joseph Whitaker, N. B. McAlpine, George Worthrop, John Weissinger, Joseph Minchin, J. Partridge, William McCann, William Pyles, Ezekiel B. Pyles. He says of these men that they have contributed greatly to the progress of agriculture in that country, and the municipality of Santa Barbara, in the State of Sao Paulo, is classified first in agriculture. > > Comrade Pyles adds: "The Confederate veteran has been a power in peace, even as he helped to make the Confederate army one of the most invincible that ever faced the foe." > > CONFEDERATES GOING BACK TO MASSACHUSETTS. James Anderson, of the E. K. Wilcox Post, Springfield, Mass., has returned from another visit to Petersburg, Va., where he was the guest of the A. P. Hill Camp, U. C. V., and with them helped celebrate Robert E. Lee's birthday. It was the twelfth time that Mr. Anderson joined the Petersburg veterans in celebrating the birthday of the great Southern hero. He says it was impossible for him to accept all the hospitable invitations that were given him for dinners and receptions. The visit of the Hill Camp to Springfield, Mr. Anderson says, is a thing that the people of Petersburg seem never to tire of talking about. Lee's birthday was celebrated with a parade in the morning and a banquet in the evening. Mr. Anderson was the speaker at the banquet. He entertained the Southern veterans with his account of their visit to Springfield. The Springfield Republican states that a number of the A. P.

COMRADE TURK'S ACCOUNT OF THE RESULT OF THE STAMPEDE. Dear Dick: Yours just received requesting a sketch of the battle of Sunshine Church. I did not participate in the battle. I was detailed from the Army of Northern Virginia and sent to Georgia, my home State, to buy horses for the Confederate government for cavalry and artillery purposes. I was riding along looking for horses for sale eight or ten miles west of Milledgeville, when I distinctly and very unexpectedly, heard field artillery. I banished all thought of my mission and put out as fast as my horse would carry me in the direction to ascertain the meaning of the cannonading. The only weapon I had with me was my fine cavalry pistol. My idea was to serve as courier. After riding fifteen or twenty miles, my horse almost exhausted, I rode right into Iverson's command. The battle had ceased, and I was told that Stoneman had surrendered near what is now known as Round Oak. Just at that time General Iverson was informed that one of Stoneman's regiments had stampeded. Iverson did not have men enough to make pursuit. He was busy rounding up the rest of Stoneman's command. Seeing that the fighting was over and no courier was needed, I, with several citizens, put out after the fleeing regiment, though not with any hope of catching them on their wild stampede. They made no effort to follow any road or path, but going east they ran over bushes, rail fences, and gullies. After going about two miles, we came to a gulley in a pine thicket, about eight feet deep and twelve or fifteen wide, in which there were many horses and men, nearly all of which seemed to be dead. Those in front had filled the gulley, and the others passed over the gulley on the men and horses that filled it. One or two men and horses were killed in crossing a small branch on a pole bridge something like two miles beyond the big gulley mentioned. The first three or four miles of the stampede the men seemed to have bunched pretty well, making a roadway about thirty feet wide. It was almost as clear of bushes, weeds, and everything of that kind as a regular public road. Even the ground rails of fences were torn from their places, and one could scarcely tell that there had ever been a fence there except by the fences on either side of the newly made road. I was about to forget to state that the clothes of the men and the hide of the horses that filled the gulley already mentioned were badly torn by the shoes of the horses as they passed over them, the flesh of both being considerably mangled. I suppose there were twelve or fifteen horses piled in the gulley and half as many men. After about four miles of this wild and reckless riding, the trail became wider and wider and more dim. Here the stampeders crossed a large public road, where I left the trail and took the public road back to where I started from that morning. I spent the afternoon and until nine or ten o'clock at night sending word to young ladies in the neighborhood and to two or three young boys to meet me at a designated point the next morning and we would take a horseback ride over the battlefield and trail of the stampeded Federals. The battlefield was a novel sight to the girls. The floor of Sunshine Church was almost covered with wounded soldiers. Horses, guns, pistols, and the like were to be seen all around, with now and then a dead soldier. When we reached the gulley that had been filled with men and horses, the awful sight caused nearly all of the girls to shed tears, and one or two almost collapsed. We followed the trail to where I left it the day before and farther on for about five miles. The stampeders took the second public road to Eatonton, where about two hundred of them stopped in the woods that night. They made their way back to Sherman's army. When General Sherman's army passed through this section. several persons living here recognized several men who were with General Stoneman in the battle of Sunshine Church. These Yanks inquired particularly about Joe Funderbeck. Joe was at home on furlough, and his mother and sisters persuaded him to put on one of his mother's dresses as a disguise. Stoneman's men detected his disguise and captured him as a spy, and took him on the wild stampede to Eatonton to hang him, but Joe slipped away in the night. Joe says all his dress was torn off of him except the. collar, and his own clothes were badly torn on the wild ride.
