Greenville C. Camden - Captain
|
Greenville was 34 years old when he enlisted in Amherst Johnson Guard at Millner’s Store on 15 August 1861. Elected First Lieutenant. Captain William A. Higginbotham, Commanding. Amherst Johnson Guards become Company F, 58th VA. 1 May ‘62 - Greenville elected Captain of Company F. Fought in Valley Campaign uner Stonewall Jackson from 6 May ‘62 until 17 June ‘62 - Jackson’s Army leaves for Richmond. Left camp for Waynesboro, through Jarman’s Gap. Boarded railroad at Mechum’s River Station. Took railroad through Charlottesville to Beaver Dam Station near Richmond.
Battle of Gaines Mill, 27 June ‘62 - Departed Hundley’s corner for Old Cold Harbor to attack Federal right flank. Ewell’s Division (and the 58th) was at the head of the column. Elzey’s Brigade sent into battle to the right of D. H. Hill’s division. Elzey’s opposition on the attack was Sykes Division, 2nd Brigade (Lovell), including the 2nd, 6th, 10th, 11th, and 17th US Regiments (Regulars). It was during this engagement of the Battle of Gaines Mill that Captain Greenville Camden was mortally wounded. He died on July 18, 1862. I can find no record of his hospitalization or his burial.
Greensville was not wounded at Gaines Mill but remained with the 58th until they left Richmond and moved north. He was killed by Martin L Brown as CO F camped near Orange VA. Brown was a former LT in Company F. Brown was found innocent at trial because no witnesses were able to attend (they were away fighting).

John R Williams - Private
|
John R. Williams, a farmer from Bedford Co, VA, enlisted as a private in Co I, 58th Regiment, VA, CSA, on 7/24/1861. John was convicted of desertion and sentenced to die; however his sentence was commuted, and he was allowed to rejoin his unit. John was injured three weeks later during the battle of Petersburg, captured and taken prisoner by the Union Army, and held at Hart's Island, NY for the duration of the war. He was released at the end of the war after signing an oath of allegiance to the United States. John returned to farming; however, eventually had to turn the farm over to his son, as his Civil War injuries rendered him unable to successfully run his farm. He entered the Robert E Lee Confederate Soldiers Home in Richmond, VA, and lived there until his death 4/1/1908. He is buried in the Confederate section of the Hollywood Veterans Cemetery in Richmond,VA; and his great-great grandsons are in the process of having a monument placed on his gravesite.

William Peter Thomas - 4th Corporal
|
William Peter Thomas was in the trenches at Petersburg, and participated in the battle of Hatcher's Run. He was wounded March 15, and sent to the hospital at Farmville, and then to the hospital in his hometown, Bedford where his sister, aunt & a cousin were nurses or matrons at the hospital. There is a pdf document that can be downloaded from my website with images of his letters from Petersburg & Farmville, just weeks before the final surrender at Appomattox.
