SEIBELS, John Jacob (Montgomery; until reorganization) John Jacob Seibels married Philippa Berney 1809-1881. I don't have any info about her or when they married.
GORDON,
John Brown (Jackson; wounded, Sharpsburg; promoted) John Brown Gordon formed the 'Raccoon Roughs' and tried to get them into the
Confederate Army in Atlanta, but the Governor of Georgia at the time turned them
down saying they already had enough fighting men. The Raccoon Roughs then
marched and rode onto Birmingham where they joined up with the oversized 6th
Alabama. John Brown Gordon was a strong orator and rose in rank very fast in the
Confederate Army. He commanded units eventually in several of the larger
conflicts in the East and was wounded several times. He commanded a Georgia unit
at Gettysburg. He was given the honor by General Lee of leading the Confederate
Army in the surrender march at Appomattox. He was one of Lee's favorite
generals. After the war he became governor of Georgia and was active in the
rebuilding of the South.
