Alford was apparently unable to write as he signed his Oath of Allegiance to the United States by Mark.To give you some idea of the events of this time, the following information is provided on the last few days of the Civil War. Amelia Court House was one of the small skirmishes between Petersburg, Virginia and Appromattox Court House. General Lee's Army left Petersburg on 2 April 1865 with one column traveling to the north and the other to the south. They both headed west towards Amelia Court House on April 3rd. The Southern most column engaged the Union Army at Namozine Church then proceeded on. The Union army summized that Lee was headed for Amelia Court House or more specifically a railroad junction located 15 miles south of town where Lee and his army could effect an escape. The trek from Petersburg to Amelia Court House was a gruiling one with little rest for the soldiers. What kept them going was the reports of plenty of food there. When the army of Northern Virginia arrived on April 4, 1865, they found more powder and shot than they could use but no food. General Lee was stunned. He, like the rest thought that there would be food for his army. Lee sent foragers out to gather what food could be found with a personal message requesting assistance from the local people. The foragers returned with very little. All of the available food had been taken in the preceeding year. After all, this war was in it's fifth year and most of the fighting had taken place in the south. It was common practice for armies to forage along the way. When you think of the ammount of food it would take to feed that many people, it is staggering. After the foragers returned many soldiers went out on there own to find food and many did not return. At this point during the war, it was not uncommon for many soldiers to either give themselves up or to desert. During the war both sides were plagued with this problem. The northerners finaly got tired of fighting and just went home and the southern soldiers often felt much the same way. After all the war was not about the common man, but about slave ownership and big business. Most of the southern soldiers were of poor backgrounds and could not afford slaves. But they were told by the wealthy that the northerners were taking away their rights. After recovering from the shock that there was no food, Lee's army filled their cassons and destroyed the remainder of the powder. They then proceeded towards Appromattox Court House where they arrived on April 8, 1865 and General Mead accepted General Lee's surrender on April 9, 1865.9 He Below is some history on the 26th Infantry Regiment HISTORICAL NOTES: The 26th was made up from a consolidation of the 6th and 9th infantry battalions in late 1862 because the two regiments were essentially wiped out in that first summer of fighting in VA.

BATTLES: Jackson Siege MS (JUL 1863) Charleston Harbor (AUG - SEP 1863) Bermuda Hundred (17 MAY - 16 JUN 1864) Petersburg Siege VA (JUN 1864 - APR 1865) The Crater (30 JUL 1864) Ft.

He is the father of Ruth M. Skipper. But I have no proof that the Thomas Skipper in the 1860 Census is indeed the same person. The 1860 Census entry is what gives me the name of his father, Isaac Skipper. However I believe that they are the same person based the ages.Based on information obtained from the tombstones located at Methodist Rehobeth in Horry County, South Carolina I believe all this information on the Skipper line is correct as presented here. His Ancestral File Number is MVJR-MJ.13 |
