Biography

This profile is part of the Willhite Name Study.
Jackson (Wilhoit) Wilhite served in the United States Civil War.
Enlisted: 12 Aug 1862
Mustered out: 19 Jul 1865
Side: USA
Regiment(s): Company D, Alabama 1st Cavalry Regiment
Jackson engaged in farming in Alabama and Tennessee.

Jackson was born in 1820. He was the son of John Wilhite and Mary McCoy.

Jackson married:

  1. Mary Morris, 8 Sep 1841.[1] Not sure they had any children and Jackson did not list her as a previous marriage on his Civil War pension record.
  2. Chilnissia Raley, 14 December 1846.[2] Note: His pension application states their marriage as 15 Dec 1846. This is quite likely since the marriage certificate was never returned as solemnized.
  3. Cynthia Elizabeth Summers, 05 Jul 1894.[3]

During the Civil War, he enlisted in Company D, Alabama 1st Cavalry Regiment on 12 Aug 1862: Age 42, 5' 6", blue eyes, dark hair. Promoted to Full Sergeant. He was 1 of 150 Alabama men recruited by Col. Abel D. Streight on his trip from Decatur to Day's Gap. He was captured there, taken to Knoxville and then held as a Prisoner of War in Richmond, Virginia in 1863. Mustered out on 19 Jul 1865 at Nashville, TN.[4][5]

He passed away in 1902 and is buried in Fuller Chapel Cemetery, Lawrence County, Tennessee.[6][7]
