  Census	1860	Southern District, Loudoun Co., Virginia
  aged 38, born in Virginia; farmer and merchant; real estate worth 18,000; pers. estate worth 12,000
  Military Service	Served as the commander of Company I in the 8th Regiment, VA Infantry. He died early during the war, but I don't know how; the date is after the Peninsular campaign, but before Lee's invasion of Maryland. Before his death the 8th Virginia fought, as part of Brig. Gen. George E. Pickett's brigade in Longstreet's division, at Williamsburg on May 5, 1862, at Fair Oaks (or Seven Pines) on May 31-June 1 (at which Gen. Johnston was killed), and during the Peninsular campaign at Gaines' Mill (also called First Cold Harbor) and at Frayser's Farm (or Glendale). (See the OR Ser. 1, vol. 11, pt. 1: 569; and vol. 11, pt. 2: 982 for his regiment's casualty reports for these battles). A check of his service records would be necessary to ascertain whether he personally was actually present at these battles, and perhaps why he actually died.  [1]
