My 4x-great uncle. Born 1840 in Madison County, NC. Moved to London, Kentucky with his family before 1860. Returned to NC in late 1861 and joined Captain William Profitt's Partisan Rangers/Yancey Boys in Burnsville, then Co. C of the 58th NC Infantry in the Army of Tennessee. Served in Tennessee, Cumberland Gap, and the Battles of Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and in the Atlanta Campaign. Seriously wounded at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in June, 1864 and hospitalized in Asheville, NC. Originally dropped from company roll for desertion, but found to be serving in the hospital during his recovery. Moved back to Laurel County, KY after the war and operated a sawmill.

Joseph was from Yancey County, NC, son of Wesley Gibbs and Malinda Finley. At the time he entered into service, according to war records, Joseph was 18 years old when he mustered-in on 16 June, 1862 at Burnsville, NC, in Captain William W. Profitt's Company, North Carolina Partisan Rangers, called 'Yancey Boys', being a company of men from Yancey County, NC. At this time Joseph signed the Oath of allegiance to the Confederate States and signed his name, Joseph A. Gibbs. The records indicate Joseph was signing up for the duration of the war. The records indicate Joseph's occupation was a carpenter and his height was 5 feet, 11 inches. Records show that from January to September 1863, Joseph was listed as 'Present' on his Company Muster Roll. After the Battle of Chickamauga in Georgia he received word from his wife that she was ill, so he returned home (absent without leave) to his wife, Eliza and their young son, Thomas. It was a common practice for men to leave their unit at such times as planting or harvesting or during winter quarters and return home, however the practice was not acceptable to the military. The September-October company muster role, lists Joseph as 'Absent, deserted from before Chattanooga on September 27, 1863. Not dropped from the muster role, because expected to return.' By the January-February 1864 muster roll, Joseph is 'Absent, in arrest, in the Guard House at Atlanta, GA.' The March-April muster roll remarks 'Present - in arrest', however the record states 'Name does not appear in column of Names Present.' It is unclear whether Joseph returned to his unit,or whether the Home Guard arrested him, but he was court martialed. At the time, his commanding officer Joseph Johnston decided to 'make an example of some men' and ordered them executed, to try to reduce the number of men leaving without permission, or deserting. The Muster Roll for May 1 to Aug 31, 1864 remarks 'Shot to death with musketry, May 4, 1864 by sentence of Genl. Court Martial.' The record also indicates Joseph was last paid on 30 June, 1863, by Capt. Goodman. There is a record, not dated that Joseph was paid $50.00 and signed by Joseph A. Gibbs, but with no date on the Bounty Pay and Receipt Roll, there is no way to know when he received this payment. Joseph and 11 other men were executed on May 4, 1864 at Dalton, Georgia.The men were buried in unmarked graves near Dalton, GA. The executions did not deter other men from deserting. By the end of May 1864, an additional 18 men had left the 58th. A group of Joseph's family, in 2018, purchased a headstone which was set in the Gibbs Cemetery, Celo, North Carolina. Joseph's headstone lies next to his wife, Eliza's. He is remembered.

Israel states his age to be 68 and that he was wounded at the battle of Missionary Ridge, TN, on 25 Sept. 1862. W.H. Wise, his brother in law, witnesses it. At that time Israel was living in Altamont, Mitchell County, NC.

Andrew 'Andy' was my GGgrandfather and I think it is important that all details about the CSA are shared. Andrew was born in 1828, and married Sarah Noblett in 1854. I do not have any information on who his parents were, although I suspect that Samuel Reed, also a pvt with the 58th infantry, was his brother. Andy was mustered into the 58th Regiment in July of 1862, and was discharged a year later for health reasons ( a diagnosis of psithis). He and Sarah later bought land in Buncombe County, and moved their large family there. They had ten children, all born in McDowell Co; William Patton Reed, Sarah Reed (Sharp), Samuel Pinkney Reed, Sophia A Reed (Luther), Nancy Jane Reed (Brooks), Oma S Reed (Godfrey), Enock Spencer Reed, Rose Ella Reed (Henderson), James Abner Reed, and Vollie Greer Reed. Most of these children married into the farming families of Leicester & Candler, NC and their children and later descendants have mostly settled in Buncombe and Henderson counties. Andrew does not have a gravemarker of any kind; maybe no one knew he could receive a free marker for his CSA service. After one hundred years of being buried, no one knows the exact plot in which he is buried, but we do know the cemetery, thanks to his grandson (my grandfather) telling us before he died in 1985. Andrew is buried at Hice Hill Cemetery, Candler, NC.
