1846 Muster Roll for 124th Va Infantry Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal

October 10, 2006 by Sheila 18 Comments

I was contacted by a dealer in Historical documents who has the original Muster Roll for sale. The picture here shows enough to see it is authentic, however not large enough to read. The transcription is below the picture.

1846 Muster Roll for 124th Va Infantry Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal

There are 70 names on the muster roll. It is entitled “A list of the commissioned and staff officers, belonging to the 124th Regiment Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal, at Estillville on the 14, 15 & 16th days of April, 1847 and the Regimental Muster at the residence of George Vineyard on the 17th day of April, 1847.

    Thanks Sheila for this great post. Wm F Templeton is William Farley Templeton (~1825 – 30 Mar 1922), my great-great grandfather. He lived along Copper Creek north of Gate City near Bellamytown. Wm married Frances “Fanny” Lane (19 Apr 1823 – 25 Oct 1889) on 17 Dec 1845. Wm subsequently served in the Scott County militia at the start of the Civil War and then enlisted in Co A, 25th Va Cavalry. After the war served on a county “police” force to protect residents from bushwachers, thieves and robbers.

    Thos W Templeton is Thomas Witcason Templeton, Wm’s uncle – brother of Wm’s father, Amos. Thos and 3rd brother James (and families) moved to Cedar County, MO in the mid-50s, and then on to Texas (Grayson Co) after hostilities broke out and Missouri was so overrun with bushwacking and guerilla war (Quantrill, etc)

    Your Welcome! I love to share this stuff with others. It may be the missing piece someone needs. And Lord knows I don’t know where I would be if others did not share with me.

    Thank you for the added information on your Templeton line. Hezekiah’s sister Esther Jane Neal married John Allen. They had a son James Allen who married Rebecca Lane, the daughter of Wm. Wilkerson Lane. This is my direct line, and connection to Hezekiah Patrick Neal/Neil

    H.P and Esther had Neal siblings that also went to MO.

    What a wonderful find. Is there any chance the residence owner, George Vineyard is the George Vineyard married to Mary Campbell-daughter Hannah -who married Henry Wood. Henry even named one son George Vineyard Wood.

    I haven’t really researched him, but I think looking at the dates that he probably was.

    This is a very intersting piece of information, It does appear that this muster could have happened at George Vineyard’s House. His son’s. Willaim Issac Vineyard and George Washington Vineyard both served in the 48th VA Inf

    Hannah VINEYARD WOOD was my 3rd Great Grand Aunt, George Vineyard Wood, would be my 1st Cousin 4 times removed. I am intersted in information you might have on Descendants of Henry WOOD and Hannah VINEYARD, my record end there I don’t have any info on the wood side of our family.

    Thanks,

    The muster roll was not only at the Vineyard house, but the following men there are relatives of the Wood Family: Clinton Godsey -brother of Ann Elizabeth Godsey who was married to James Osborn Wood: H. W. Ewing or Henry Wood Ewing son of Elizabeth Wood and George Ewing; Wm. H Lawson-might be William Lawson I or II-his daughter Sarah married Henry Wood;E. H. Quillin -Ewel H. Quillin married to Sally Wood.

    Hannah Vineyard Wood was my 3rd great grandmother, George Vineyard Wood my 3rd great uncle.

    I’ve been tracing the Wood Family for a while-a rare family book in my fathers possession got me started. “History of the Wood family in Virginia.”

    email me for any details you need to fill in the blanks- laniew91@verizon.net

    Very interesting. I recognized Ira Fugate. He was the son of William Fugate and Lydia Tate. ZIra was born 6 Oct 1806 in russell Co., VA and died in 1874, perhaps in Scott Co. He married Margaret Haney.

    What a find! This is one I haven’t seen

    I’m hoping to get help to find out where Ira and Margaret Fugate are buried addition to William and Lydia Tate Fugate. I know where daughter Elizabeth J and George L Fugate Vermillion are but not Ira and William. Would appreciate any help I can get.

    Oh this is wonderful! I think Ezekiel K. Herron (Herren) may be my great Grandfather
    Can you give me any more information?
    I believe he was married to Mide E. Herren and gave birth to my Grandfather Joseph Ezekiel in 1885.
    Ezekiel was a physician.
    Thanks for this wonderful find.

    Sheila,

    Is there any possibility you could post a clearer copy of the roster? It is a wonderful document. By the way, my great grandmother was Louisa I. Fleenor who was married to Joseph L. Dorton.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    hi Sheila,

    I’m very interested in your Hezekiah Neal/Neil. I have a William Branch Neal that went to Miller Co. Mo., who I’m pretty sure is related. The Neals, Hortons, Robinetts and others moved to Miller Co. in the 1850s and ’60s. I’ve never been able to figure out which Neal family William Branch belonged to, but hope you might know something. Supposedly, he was a “doorstep” baby, left on a Neal families doorstep on Christmas. Thanks for any help.

    I just purchased Capt. Ira Fugate’s 1850 Annual Report for his company of the 126th Virginia Military dated May 16, 1850. It appears on the document that he signed up on December 26, 1842 and had 76 in his Company. Anyone wishing a copy can have one free. fugates@fmtc.com

    The Jno. A. Purcell is my great-great grandfather John Adams Purcell, who would have been 24 years old at the time of this Muster. He was born at Little Valley, Maces Springs, Scott County, VA on March 20, 1822.
