I know from census records, George Dillard was born abt 1830 in Virginia. His parents were born in Virginia as well.

I know very little about my Great-Great Grandfather on my fathers side. What I do know is he enlisted in the Jackson County Rangers 6-61 and was assigned to Company G of the 10th Virginia Calvary and he was at a Camp David 8-5-61. He transfered to Company G of the 17th Virginia Calvary in 6-62. He was born and raised in Ravenswood Virginia and his father Captian Willaim Hicks built and was a Captianed several Steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi. He survived the war a went west and at that point we lost track of him.

Enlisted as a Private on 1 September 1862.
Transferred to Company E, 44th Infantry Regiment Virginia on 22 May 1863.
Transferred back into 10th Cavalry Regiment Virginia on 25 September 1863.

This is my Great grandfather who died Sept,01,1863 in Albemarle,Virginia. He had typhoid and was in a house that was made into a hospital. Mrs. Rodes took care of him, I have a copy of a letter she wrote to my great grandmother. I have been told that her husband was a general or someone who held a high rank. I can't find this location, he is buried there on the land with his brothers Thomas and Zensus. I believe the gentleman name was Robert Rodes. The boys were from Patrick County, Virginia. Alexander enlisted in Franklin County. Judith Bennett Johnson
