Return to Currituck Co.
This company, known as Shaw Guards, was from Currituck
County and was mustered in at Camp Macon, near Warrenton, Warren County,
September 14, 1861, as Company B. On September 20 the regiment was
transferred to Confederate States service. Two additional companies were
mustered into service for the war on September 28, 1861 and assigned to the
regiment. These two companies were transferred to Confederate States
service on September 30, 1861. Thus the regiment had its full complement
of ten companies.
The regiment was ordered to Roanoke Island and left Camp Macon on September
18. Arriving at its destination on September 21, the regiment went into
camp near Fort Bartow. The island was strategically located and if
properly defended could block the passage from Pamlico Sound to Albemarle Sound.
The men of the regiment set up camp and worked on the fortifications. This
activity was interrupted when the regiment took part in an expedition against a
Federal position at Chicamacomico on Hatteras Banks. The plan of attack
was for one regiment to land and attack the Federals while this regiment landed
behind the position to cut off the enemy's retreat. The attack was
successful, but efforts to land this regiment failed, and the Federal made good
their escape. The regiment returned to its old camp on Roanoke Island on
October 6. The men returned to routine camp life and work on the
fortifications. At times, various companies were detailed to man the
fortification for limited periods.
Toward the end of the year the Federals planned an expedition against the
coastal defenses of North Carolina. Under General A.E. Burnside, an
expeditionary force was assembled at Fort Monroe, Virginia. The enemy
fleet entered Pamlico Sound on January 13, 1862 and moved against Roanoke Island
on February 6. Under heavy bombardment on February 6, the enemy succeeded
in landing troops on the island. Although reinforcements had arrived, the
Confederate forces were too poorly organized to withstand the attack of the
numerically superior force.
The information contained in the following roster of the company was compiled
principally from a company muster-in and descriptive roll dated September 14,
1861, and from company muster rolls for January 1862 through April 1863, and for
July 1863 through October 1864. No company muster rolls were found for the
period prior to January 1862; for May through June 1863; or for the period after
October 1864. In addition to the company muster rolls, Roll of Honor
records, receipt rolls, hospital rolls, prisoner of war records, and other
primary records, supplemented by state pension applications, United Daughters of
the Confederacy records, and postwar rosters and histories, all provided
useful information. NOTE: Census
information provided on some of the men below are from my own personal
research. If anyone has further records they'd like to share on any of these
men, please feel free to e-mail

Thomas Jordan Jarvis, governor of North Carolina, was born in Jarvisburg,
Currituck County, N.C., Jan. 18, 1836; son of the Rev. Banister H. and Elizabeth
Jarvis, and grandson of Thomas Jarvis. He was graduated at Randolph-Macon
College, Va., in 1860. In 1861 he entered the Confederate army as a private and
was made first lieutenant in the 8th North Carolina regiment. In 1863 he was
promoted captain, but his right arm being shattered by a bullet, he was obliged
to retire from the service. He served as a member of the state constitutional
convention in 1865, became a merchant, and while in business studied law, and
was admitted [p.55] to the bar. He was elected a representative in the state
legislature in 1868, was re-elected in 1870, becoming speaker of the house, and
was a presidential elector in 1872. He was married, Dec. 23, 1874, to Mary,
daughter of John Woodson. He was a member of the state constitutional convention
in 1875, and in the following year was elected lieutenant-governor of North
Carolina. In 1879 he became governor by the resignation of Governor Vance,
elected to the U.S. senate, and in 1880 he was elected governor for the term
expiring in 1885. He was appointed U.S. minister to Brazil by President
Cleveland, serving 1885-89, and in April, 1894, on the death of Senator Vance,
he was appointed by Governor Carr U.S. senator, his term expiring March 3, 1895.
He was a delegate at large to the Democratic national convention of 1896. He
received the honorary degree of LL.D. from the University of North Carolina in
1884, and was elected a trustee of that institution in 1883.

The name Jarvis has appeared in the history of Eastern Carolina from early
colonial days, when one Thomas Jarvis bought from the Indians a strip of land
between the Perquimans River and Carolina Sound in what was then known as the
Albemarle country. By 1691 this Thomas Jarvis had attained sufficient influence
to be appointed Deputy Governor of North and South Carolina when Colonel Ludwell
was appointed Governor. In 1734 one Thomas Jarvis was a leading member of the
Assembly. During the Revolutionary War Samuel Jarvis was a General in command of
the Albemarle militia. According to the Federal census of 1790 the heads of
three different families bore the name of Thomas Jarvis. It was the grandson of
one of these men, Thomas Jordan Jarvis, son of Bannister Hardy Jarvis, who so
endeared himself to the people of North Carolina by his wise and constructive
statesmanship as to win for himself, in his declining years, the title of the
"State's Grand Old Man."
Born at Jarvisburg, in Currituck County, on January 18, 1836, the early years of
his life were spent on his father's farm where he gained such training as could
be had at home and attended such country schools as the neighborhood afforded.
Not the least important influence during this period of his life was the
influence of his mother who instilled in him the characteristics which so marked
his later career.
At the age of nineteen he entered Randolph-Macon College, then at Boydton,
Virginia, from which he was graduated in 1860, and received the degree of M.A.
the following year. His college career had been made possible through teaching
at intervals and loans received through a friend.
A few months after graduation he began teaching in Pasquotank County, where he
was when the war between the States was declared. He immediately enlisted as a
private, but in 1861 was commissioned as first lieutenant of Company B, Eighth
North Carolina Regiment and a few months later was promoted to the rank of
captain. For three years Captain Jarvis acquitted himself with credit in the
field, but at the battle of Drewry's Bluff in May 1864, he received a wound in
his right arm. The character of the wound necessitated a resection of a part of
the bone and he was confined to the hospitals of Richmond and at Petersburg and
was on parole when Lee surrendered. From the wound received at Drewry's Bluff
Captain Jarvis never recovered, but carried always a lifeless right arm as a
reminder of his war record.
Those who served under him during that time testify to his courage,
faithfulness, persistence and prudence. At the close of the war Captain Jarvis
went to Tyrrell County, where he opened a small store in the town of Columbia,
and began the study of law. In 1865 he was elected to the Andrew Johnson
Convention by the people of Currituck, his native county.
He continued to read law, received his license from the Supreme Court in 1867,
and entered upon the profession that he was to follow the rest of his life.
In 1868 he was chosen by the people of Tyrrell County to represent them in the
General Assembly, where he began a public career of service to his State that
lasted until his death. Few men have had the privilege of so long a period of
public service.
In 1870 he was Speaker of the House, in 1875 a member of the Constitutional
Convention that relieved the eastern counties of negro rule.
In 1874 Captain Jarvis married Miss Mary Woodson, a daughter of Judge John
Woodson, of Petersburg, Virginia.
In 1876 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor on the ticket with Vance, and in
1879, when Governor Vance became United States Senator, Lieutenant-Governor
Jarvis became Governor. In 1880 he was elected to serve a full term. Coming to
the executive chair fresh from familiar intercourse with the active men of the
State, and fully informed on all the details of public matters, his
administration of more than six years was one of the most brilliant in the annals
of the State, standing out in particular for promoting public education,
advancing the construction of the Western North Caroline Railroad, building the
Western Asylum for the Insane, at Morganton, and the Eastern Asylum for the
colored race at Goldsboro, the Governor's mansion in Raleigh, and the purchase
of the land occupied at present by the Supreme Court building and the Department
of Agriculture.
An exposition in Raleigh, toward the close of his administration, revealed the
State to itself, and a subsequent exhibit of her natural resources in an
exposition held in Boston called the attention of many in the country at large
to North Carolina's great mining, agricultural and industrial resources. The
impression made by Governor Jarvis at this time was such as to cause several New
England papers to advocate him as Vice-President of the United States.
In 1884 Mr. Cleveland appointed Governor Jarvis as Minister to Brazil. In this
capacity he served ably until the election of President Harrison, when he
returned to Greenville and resumed the practice of law.
Governor Jarvis was President of the State Democratic Convention which nominated
Elias Carr for Governor and afterwards took an active part in the campaign with
Carr, speaking in many places in the State.
On the death of Senator Vance Governor Jarvis was appointed to fill his
unexpired term in the United States Senate, but only served until the
Legislature convened and elected his successor for the short term.
In 1900, during the great suffrage campaign, the advice of Governor Jarvis was
most eagerly sought and followed.
As a lawyer he took part in many cases of State-wide importance. In 1902 he was
counsel for the Justices of the Supreme Court who were impeached at that time.
He was employed for the State in the litigation of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad.
Not only in the counsels of the State, but of the church as well, was Governor
Jarvis prominent. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and
represented his church in the General Conference, as well as on the Board of
Trustees of Trinity College.
The interest and activity of Governor Jarvis manifested for the cause of
education as chief executive never grew less, but increased with his advancing
years. His part in the founding of East Carolina Teachers Training School and
his final appeal to the people of the State for the cause of education have been
given elsewhere.
Such a service and such a vision were fitting close to a life spent for the
public good.

David Brothers Born: c 1822 Died: between 1866-1870 Married: Fanny E. Brickhouse in Currituck Co. on April 20, 1851
The 1860 Currituck Co., NC (Powells Point) listed David Brothers as age 37; blacksmith; living with wife Frances. Frances appears to be widowed by 1870 but she had two more children that were born between 1861-1866 --- William Jarvis Brothers born Feb, 18, 1861 [death certificate] who would have been a little less than 6 months old when David enlisted, and Martha Ann Brothers who was born Mar. 19, 1866 [death certificate], so David had to have survived the war. Although no tombstone has been found for David it is assumed that he died between 1866-1870. No tombstone has been found for Frances either and it is believed that she died circa 1873, about the time her first child, Cora Brothers, was getting married to Thomas W. Quidley in February 1873. Frances is not found in the 1880 census but her 2 youngest children, William J. and Martha Ann Brothers are living in the home of Thomas Quidley and his wife Cora.
The third image above says that David enlisted in Currituck Co. on August 2, 1861. The second image says he mustered in at Camp Macon, Warren Co., N.C. six weeks later on Sept. 14, 1861. The remark section says he was sick in hospital but does not give specific dates. He was listed on the Company Muster Roll from Jan. 1 to Nov. 1, 1862 and then it says he deserted within the enemy's line in Currituck Co., NC. The Battle of Roanoke Island was fought Feb. 6-8, 1862. Colonel Shaw of the 8th Regiment wrote the following:
The entire available force of my command, exclusive of the companies on duty at the several batteries, amounted to 1,434 rank and file. Of these 568 were of the 8th North Carolina State troops....The enemy's force amounted to 15,000 men, with several pieces of artillery. With the great disparity of forces, the moment the redoubt was flanked I considered the island lost. The struggle could have been protracted, and the small body of brave men which had been held in reserve might have been brought up into the open space to receive the fire of overwhelming force on our flank, which was under cover of trees; but they would have been sacrificed without the smallest hope of a successful result. The mules and horses attached to the artillery had been killed during the action; the pieces had to be abandoned, and believing it utterly impossible to make a successful stand against such an overwhelming force, I deemed it my duty to surrender.
Some members managed to escape to the mainland. Those men either returned to their homes (as we believe David did), or joined other units until the regiment was exchanged. Those who were captured remained on the island about two weeks. They were then taken to Elizabeth City and paroled and sent home. Under the parole and exchange agreement the men could not return to active duty until exchanged man for man. No records have been found that show David was captured, exchanged or died from wounds sustained in battle.

Montacue, age 13
1860 Currituck Co., NC (Roanoke
Island Dist.) listed as Adam Dowdy; age 21; seaman; living in the
home of Wm. & Sarah Montague
November 2021 remarks from Donald A. Raynor of Parkville, MD: Sarah “Sallie” Montague (b.1819) was the daughter of Adam Etheridge III (b.1775) and Margaret “Peggie” Etheridge (b.1785). I believe that Sarah (Sallie) had two children in the late 1830’s with a man whose surname was “Dowdy.” Those children were Adam Dowdy (b.1838) and Napoleon Dowdy (b.1839). It appears that their relationship soured around 1840 and that left Sarah (Sallie) and the boys to live with her parents. The 1840 Currituck Co., NC census shows the home of Adam Etheridge having two white males under 5 years of age as well as 2 white females between 16 and 20. It is unlikely that 55 year old Margaret would have two of her own children under 5. The 1850 Curricuk Co., NC census shows Adam Dowdy age 13 and Napoleon Dowdy age 11 living with Adam and Margaret Etheridge. That census also shows Adam Montacue age 13 and Napoleon Montacue age 11 living with William and Sarah Montacue just 2 houses away. I believe that it is extremely likely that these 2 sets of children are one in the same. This would make the Adam and Margaret Etheridge the grandparents and William and Sarah Montague the mother and step-father.
Just after the end of the Civil War on April 27, 1865, William Montague was admitted to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital for an 18 day stay to treat Rheumatic Inv. The Admittance/Discharge ledger lists him as Pilot-Acting Ensign on the U.S.S. Hunchback. Wikapedia lists the Hunchback as a former ferry on which cannons were added to become a gunboat for land support of union troops. It also indicates that this vessel sailed the lower Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle Sound. As a seaman based on Roanoke Island, William would certainly have been aware of the Hunchback. It is surprising that someone who lost a son or stepson, such as Adam, in the service of the confederacy, would actually assist the union cause, but that standing did get him the care he needed. William eventually died in 1867 at age 61. [The Navy Widow's Pension Application states in several places that he died in March 1866 on Roanoke Island.]In 1872 Sarah “Sallie” remarried Benjamin Bloss Dough. In June, 1880 she applied for Remarried Widow Benefits indicating that she was the mother of Napoleon B. Dowdy who served as Pilot on the U.S.S. Hunchback. This data would further reinforce the notion that Adam and Margaret Etheridge are the grand parents and William and Sarah Montague are the mother and stepfather.

Civil War Record kindly submitted by Irving Denslow who states: "John Calvin Gallop was declared a deserter because he had been captured by the enemy and his officers ordered him to escape. He decided it would be too difficult so he did not attempt it. The desertion charge was later changed." The age on this document appears to be 49 but when blown up the age was actually 19 with a small check mark beside it which made it look like 49. |
