(2) Julia Ann Webb Goad 10 Jun 1868 Carroll Co , Va his 4th cousin
Residence was not listed;
Enlisted on 5/24/1861 at Lynchburg, as a Private.
On 5/24/1861 he mustered into "C" Co. VA 24th Infantry (date and method of discharge not given) He was listed as:
Arrested (date and place not stated)
AWOL 9/4/1862 (place not stated)
Released 6/30/1863 (place not stated)
POW 7/3/1863 Gettysburg, PA
Oath Allegiance 1/25/1864 Point Lookout, MD (Released)
As a member of Kemper's Brigade, Pickett's Division, participated on July 3, 1863 in the famous "Pickett's Charge" at Gettysburg and was captured by the Union forces.
As a prisoner-of-war, he took the oath of allegiance to the United States and became a "galvanized rebel", these being ex-Confederates who joined the Union Army with the proviso that they would not be compelled to face their former comrades in battle.
These men were used against the Indians in the West, releasing other Union soldiers for battlefield duty in the South.
They were scorned by the true "Red" purists but, considering the conditions and high mortality in Civil War prison camps, north and south, such a decision was understandable.
