The male children were "Benjamin" "Owen" & "Alfred". The family lives in the Spicer District, Wilkes, NC. The 1840 Census records that there were a total of 5 people in the household.
In the 1850 census "Alfred Absher" age 16, lives with his parents, "Jacob", age 35 and his mother, "Sarah Hall Absher" age 36, and six siblings, " "Benjamin" age 17, "Owen" age 14, "Caroline" age 12, "Evaline" which is '"Charity Emaline or Evaline Absher" age 10, "Jane" or Virginia age 8 as her name appears in different records but is the same person, "Leams" age 2, which is Linny, her name appears in different records but is the same person. The birthplace of each member of the family is recorded in this record; all are born in Wilkes, NC. The family lives as (indicated by the record) Wilkes, NC. Jacob's occupation is listed as Farmer. This record also shows that Alfred, Benjamin & Owen attended school within the 1850 census year. Alfred's sisters (Charity, Caroline, Virginia, Linny) did not.
"Alfred Absher" has married by the 1860 census. He lives with his wife "Sarah Durham Absher" & his baby daughter "America" age 8 months, a short distance from his parents. Jacob & Sarah Hall Absher. "Alfred" is listed as farmer & his birthplace is listed as Wilkes, NC. Alfred Absher's value of Real Estate owned was recorded as (100) in the 1860 census. (Using the Inflation Calculator) $100 in the year 1860 is equivalent to $2,817.06 in 2017, a difference of $2,717.06 over 157 years. Also, Alfred Absher's value of personal estate was listed as (50) (Using the Inflation Calculator) $50 in the year 1860 is equivalent to $1,408.53 in 2017, a difference of $1,358.53 over 157 years.
Some time before Alfred's service in the Confederate army, he and his wife "Sarah" have a son "Henry Absher" and a set of twins that may have been born before the 1860 census was taken or shortly after the census. It is unknown if the twins were male or female; they died at birth or shortly afterward. There are no records that reveal their gender or date of birth; it would be an estimated date. The only evidence of their existence are two tiny graves & two small unmarked stones beside their mother "Sarah's" grave, in the Absher Family Cemetery.
"Alfred Absher" along with his brothers "Owen" & "Benjamin" were conscripts for the Confederate Army. They were recruited in Wilkes, NC and enlisted on 22 Sept 1862 near Petersburg, Virginia at "Camp French" by M.A. Parks. Alfred, Owen & Benjamin were privates, in the 52nd Regiment, North Carolina Infantry (Company F - better known as the Confederate Grays). The 52nd Regiment indicated by records that they were in Goldsboro, NC, (15 December 1862). Records indicate "Alfred Absher" & "Benjamin Absher" were also part of the fifty-first Infantry and fifty-first militia during the Battle of Goldsboro Bridge, in which the brothers fought 17 Dec 1862. (After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded.)
General Thomas Clingman was in temporay command of the 52nd. Benjamin & Alfred became part of the fifty-first Infantry & fifty-first militia after Confederate Brigadier General Nathan George Evans also known as "Shanks" had arrived with a portion of his command, reinforcing General Thomas Clingman who had been defending the bridge throughout the day with only 2,000 men against an overwhelming opposing Union force that greatly outnumbered the Confederates. This was the first time in the day General Clingman had received reinforcments and now the Confederates outnumbered the Union troops remaining on the field.
The Union troops had met their objective of burning the Goldsboro Bridge and formed up late in the day of Dec 17th, to begin the march back to their base in New Bern; leaving one brigade and one battery of artillery as a rear guard to cover their withdrawal. Brigadier General Evans ordered General Clingman to attack the rear guard via a county bridge one half mile up the river. Clingman led four NC Regiments, the 8th, 51st, 52nd & 61st. Clingman posted the 51st & 52nd near the river bank and went with the 8th & the 61st one mile south. General Evans arrived and ordered the 51st & 52nd to engage the Union Rear Guard. These two regiments formed up (this is the only point at which "Alfred" & "Benjamin" coincide with the 51st to be part of the 51st Infantry & Militia).
"Owen Absher's" death would have happened earlier in the day during the assault on the Goldsboro Bridge. "Owen" has only 1 number on his Military Card Jacket. He was not part of the 51st Militia or Infantry; which means he was not with his brothers, during the battle later in the day of December 17th.
The 51st & 52nd, crossed a cultivated field and climbed a high railroad embankment. They came down the other side; loudly proclaming their approach. The sound of the Confederate attack attracted the attention of the Union troops that had just left the field and they returned before the confederates reached the Union position. Within 100 yards of the Union line, the Confederates were met with heavy fire and were turned back with heavy losses. (This is the point I believe "Alfred Absher" sustained serious battle wounds; later dying in the Hospital in Goldsboro .) Clingman in place, wisely engaged the Union troops from behind the embankment.
(Brigadier General Nathan George Evans ordered the 51st & 52nd to certain death with no advantage to gain. He would have known this. The Goldsboro Bridge had already burned. There was no real reason for the engagement; other than to punish General Clingman & his Regiments for the failure to save the bridge.)
From the Military records that exist on Alfred Absher; it is shown that his whereabouts were unknown in July & August of 1863. He had not received any pay and was not paid for July & August of 1863. It also shows that he was "absent and in hospital when last heard from, unknown where he is now". The next Military record for September & October 1863 recorded that he recieved no pay and died in hospital in Goldsboro. The exact date of his death is unknown.
It is unknown who brought the news of his death to his family or when they learned of his passing. There was no formal way to inform families by the "Confederacy or the Union" of the fate of loved ones fighting in the Civil War. When "Benjamin" returned home; he would have been able to tell his family the fate of his brothers with whom he had fought, side by side.
Alfred & Owen Absher are buried in a mass grave in the Willowdale Cemetery, Goldsboro, NC. Their names are together on the Confederate monument, as the brothers were together in life.
"Alfred" "Owen" & Benjamin Absher" are on the "Confederate Roll of Honor" 52nd Regiment, NC, Company F.
They have and will not be forgotten by their family members and in Remembrance have been honored, and will for many generations to come.
