1842 – Jan 9, 1864. Enlisted on Mar 18, 1862 in Jackson County Florida. His company was stationed at the Mount Vernon Arsenal at Chattahoochee, in Gadsden County in April, 1862. November 24 was dark, with low clouds, fog, and drizzling rain. General Bragg, ordered his troops to occupy the newly constructed fortifications atop Missionary Ridge. This line of entrenchments lay “along the physical crest rather than what is termed the ‘military crest’ - that is, along the top-most geographic line rather than along the highest line from which the enemy could be seen and fired upon. Breckinridge’s Corps defended the southern end of the ridge, with Stewart’s and Bate’s divisions aligned from south to north on the crest. Later that night, General Jesse Finley led two regiments of his brigade into the entrenchments on the crest of Missionary Ridge. Some did not reach the trenches atop the formidable position until after midnight, yet at dawn on November 25, 1863, the 6th Florida stood ready to meet the enemy. Finley’s right flank rested on the Moore Road, with his left connecting with Colonel Randall Gibson’s Brigade. He was captured on Missionary Ridge at Chickamauga on Nov 25, 1863. He arrived at Rock Island on Dec 8, 1863. Died Jan 9, 1864 at Rock Island IL Parents: • Lewis B Highsmith 1818 – 1860 • Sarah Ann Highsmith 1819 – 1874, daughter of Daniel James Melvin III, son of Daniel James Melvin Jr, son of Daniel James Melvin Buried: Grave number 163 Rock Island Confederate Cemetery Rock Island Ill
