Samuel H. Creasy, born in Bedford County Virginia in 1822, was a farmer by trade. According to his wife's (Cathandra) pension application dated April 4, 1888, Samuel was a conscript. His enlistment date is shown as October 15, 1864 with the 28th Virginia Infantry Company B. Samuel was captured April 6, 1865 during the battle of Sailor's Creek and sent to Point Lookout Prison Camp where he would die of Black Water Fever (Malaria). He is buried in a common grave in the Confederate Cemetery, St. Mary's County, Maryland. Sadly, Samuel and Cathandra's youngest child, Edward H. Creasy, was conceived in early August 1864, two months before Samuel enlisted. He went off to war and would be captured and sent to a prison camp where he would eventually die without ever seeing his youngest child.
I am very proud to say that Samuel H. Creasy is my Great Great Great Grandfather.
