	Born August 26,1821. Original Captain of Company C (The Craig Mountain Boys), 28th VA. Wounded at Gaines' Mill, VA, June 27, 1862. Cited in Major Charles S. Peyton's Gettysburg OR for 'particularly conspicuous conduct...His son fell, mortally wounded, at his side; he stopped but for a moment to look on his dying son, gave him his canteen of water, and pressed on, with his company, to the wall, which he climbed, and fought the enemy with his sword in their own trenches until his sword was wrested from his hands by two Yankees; he finally made his escape in safety.' Promoted to Major following Gettysburg. Commanding Hunton's brigade at war's end. Paroled at Appomattox Court House, VA, April 9, 1865, with 'two horses and personal baggage.' Died June 17, 1889. Submitted on behalf of all the Great-Grandchildren of Major Michael P. Spessard.
