Military Monday – My 2nd Great Grandfather –Shadrach Johns
Shadrach Johns was born about 1800 in South Carolina, probably in Marlboro County. When the Civil War started Shadrach, his wife Mary and their four Children – Alice Catherine, Thomas H., Joseph Henry and Anna W. – were living in Seals Station, Russell County, Alabama. [1] They had moved from Chesterfield County, South Carolina sometime after the 1850 Census were enumerated and 1860 when the Census was taken in Alabama.
At the start of the Civil War, Shadrack John, who was sixty (60) years old was mustered into the Company “H”, 24th Regiment, Alabama Infantry. He enlisted on 12 August 1861 at Nolasulga, Alabama.
By early 1864, Shadrack and his family had moved to Washington County, Florida. Here he was assigned to the Florida Home Guard[2], Capt. W. B. Jones Company of men in the local Home Guard. Most of the members of this unit was as old if not older than my 2nd Great Grandfather who now has reached the grand old age of 64.
On September 27, 1864 one of the least known battles of the Civil War took place in Florida; it was called The Battle of Marianna. Union troops under the leadership of Brigadier General Alexander Asboth struck the small Northwest Florida city of Marianna.
On September 28, 1864, after the attack on Marianna, the Union troops, while passing through Washington County, Florida ran into a small contingent of Home Guards responding to a call to help fellow citizens in neighboring Jackson County. They met at a place called Hard Labor Creek near today’s Washington. Captain W.B. Jones and the men of the Vernon Home Guard were severely outnumbered.
The Union soldiers demanded that the men surrender. They refused. After a short skirmish, Captain Jones and 10 of his men were captured, 1 man was dead and one was wounded. The 11 captured men were shipped to Ship Island Prison. Among the eleven men captured was my 2nd Great grandfather Shadrack John.
Shadrack was later transferred to Elmira, New York to a prison there where he signed an Oath of Allegiance to the United States on 16 December 1864.
Note: the last two hyperlink will take you to details on these two battles.

Another Elusive Ancestor
Nancy Ann Davis is another one of my elusive ancestors. Nancy was born 11 May 1864 to Thomas P. Davis and Nancy Jane Massey. She should first appear in the 1870[1] and she is not listed. The 1870 Census in Chesterfield is very problematic and almost useless as a research aid. After the Civil war the residents of the county were very leery of the federal government. As sort of a protest, when the 1870 census was taken they would only give INITIALS for names and in most cases only the first initial. In 1870, Thomas & Nancy had at least 8 known children that should have been on the Census and a daughter born in April 1870 that may have been; yet, there are only 6 listed. Nancy Jane Davis is missing.
Then in the 1880 Census[2] we find Nancy Ann Davis listed as a daughter. She is listed as Ann Davis, daughter, age 14, born in South Carolina. There is a gap in census due to the loss, by fire, of the 1890, so it's 1900, she married and lost with no clue as to her married name.
At this point Nancy Ann became a "brick wall" or in detective terms a "cold case" and it remained there until a clue was found in 2004. In 2004 a local genealogist, published a booklet of obituaries from the local newspaper for the years 1932-1936. Among those obituaries was one for Nancy Ann brother John Nelson Davis[3] containing this info, "he is survived by seven sisters all of this county, among that list was the name Mrs. Ed Driggers". John Nelson died in Chesterfield, South Carolina and while Mrs. Ed Driggers may have been there in September 1932 when John Nelson died; but, she was not there now, nor was a tombstone or death certificate found.
My next clue came from a researcher in Florida that was researching the Davis family. She informed me that Nancy and her husband moved to Florida. Now I had a name and a place.
Nancy Ann Davis married John Walter Driggers (Not Ed Driggers) in 1898[4]. Their first child, a daughter named Pauline was born 6 Nov 1899[5] in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. By 1900, Walter and Ann were in Coffee County, Alabama. While there they had two additional children - Florence, b. 1901 and James Marvin, b. 1905. They them moved to Crestview, Florida and from there to Jacksonville, Florida in 1916.
Nancy died 26 May 1936 in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida; John Walter died on 10 Jul 1966.
OBITUARY: Mr. Nancy Ann Driggers, 72, of 1704 Swift Street, died about noon yesterday following a brief illness, Mrs. Driggers was born at Chesterfield, S.

Serendipity - Finding Catherine Brock Davis
I started my family research in 1976. The Brock surname is one of my Maternal direct lines. My maternal grandmother was a Brock. In the early days of research there was no searchable database for census and Ancestry.com didn't exist. You found people on the Census by converting your Surname to a Soundex Code and then searching the soundex to determine your Census ED, city and state. Then you pulled the roll of film for your state and county covering the ED found on the soundex and searched the Census film for your ancestor. It took a while to do census research in those days.
Back then I would have never found William L. Davis and Catherine Brock. Oh, I knew about them, they were in the 1860 Census, married, with one child but I never could find them in the censuses beyond 1860, the 1870-1920 census. So you move on thinking they met with an unfortunate accident, they all died or they moved. Sometime around 2000, I corresponded with a fellow Brock researcher in Florida. His ancestors were also Brock's from Chesterfield County. It was while searching for his ancestors that the serendipity moment happen and I found William & Catherine.
William L. Davis was born in 1834 in NC. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, United States.1 He served in the military J. C. Coit's Chesterfield Light Artillery in 1861–1865 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, United States.2 William is listed in the 1870 & 1880 Census for Duval County, Florida, United States.3 4 Catherine in her Civil War pension application states that William died on 3 Jul 1891 at the age of 57 in Woodtown, Duval Co., FL5. after being struck by lightning.
William L. Davis and Catherine Brock were married either on 6 Jan 1856 or 2 Mar 1857 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, United States.6 7 Catherine Brock, daughter of Squire H. Brock and Rachel Parker, was born in Mar 1837 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina, United States. 8 9 10 11 12 She appeared in the census in 1900 & 1910 for Duval County, Florida, United States.13 15 She applied for a Civil War Pension for Service of William L. Davis on 7 Nov 1903 in Duval County, Florida, United States.14 . She died on 2 Jul 1917 at the age of 80 in Jacksonville, Duval, Florida, United States. A Memorial has been created for her at www.findagrave.com.23
Note: On two different pages in Catherine Civil War pension application she lists two distinct different dates for her marriage to William L. Davis.
William L. Davis and Catherine Brock had the following children:
