My great grandfather’s older brother was at Gettysburg with the 13th Mississippi, Barksdale’s Brigade. He was killed during the charge through the Peach Orchard on the 2nd day of the battle.
Barksdale’s sister Virginia is the great great grandma of my wife
She was married to Levi Wade of Rutherford county TN....huge cotton plantation owner and major CSA pol
Course between losing the war and all the campaign in the area they got wiped out...we still maintain the family cemetary at the old plantation site....what’s left not developed...their grandfather donated a big chunk to district of columbia at request of government at the time and had been revolutionary war people....have a cornerstone plaque there with others
We have several Barksdale prints and some letters etc
My own people were less gentry...
