He did fight for the Confederacy, but ended up deserting in 5/62 and ended up back in Pendleton County. Apparently he then joined the "Swamps", the local Union sympathizers and became involved in the local bushwacking/fighting among locals in Pendleton County. He was arrested on 9/24/63 at the home of Morton Bennett and returned to the regiment under guard. He was found guilty of desertion and ordered executed "by musketry". After being chained in the guard house for six months (the Confederate Army was in camp for the winter near Orange, VA). The execution was carried out at Mt. Pisgah Church near Orange, VA on 3/19/64. He was apparently buried in an unmarked grave there. His brother Michael was killed in battle at McDowell.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438245656393164333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234215772753915781.post-90493667647555070822008-09-09T08:21:00.000-04:002008-09-09T08:21:00.000-04:00Now that was a true Appalachian soap opera!Now that was a true Appalachian soap opera!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234215772753915781.post-28757242873198468722008-09-09T02:30:00.000-04:002008-09-09T02:30:00.000-04:00Interesting!

Wasn't there a song about this years back with a refrain that went something like..."I'm my own Grampa"?Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.com
