thomas rushing - Corporal |
|
Thomas, Andrew Paul, and Horace rushing are my direct ancestors. Horace got sick early on, but Thomas and Andrew saw many great battles, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg. Thomas was wounded at Chance., and did not make Gettysburg, and glad he didn't, because the 23rd, along with most of Iverson brigade, was mauled! Andrew Paul Rushing was killed on July 1st. Stood at the burial sight at Gburg, and there is still a depression of the mass burial.

Believe he continued on to fight in 'Seven Days Battle' but never really recovered from his wound so was sent home to recover.

William W. Jones - Private |
|
Born in Granville Co. 1842, William Jones moved with his family to Hanson KY sometime in the 1850s. When the war broke out, Jones (age 20) returned to Granville Co. and enlisted in Co. G 23rd NC. Likely joining his regiment at Chantilly VA sometime around Sept 2, he earned his baptism-by-fire at South Mountain on Sep 14. The 23rd joined the CSA order of battle on the morning of September 17th, on the far right flank of D.H. Hills line facing 'the Cornfield" Sometime between 8-9 am the 23rd NC was flanked in the East Woods and forced to retreat under fire to the sunken road where they fought for the remainder of the day.
It's very likely that Private Jones was wounded sometime between 8- 9am, during the earlier confusion in the East Woods. Records indicate he was found on the battlefield and evacuated by federal troops, but died a few days later. His family in Kentucky never heard from him after September 17, 1862, and never learned of his fate.
