Biography

Jackson Matherly served in the United States Civil War.
Enlisted: 1861
Mustered out: 1 Jul 1862 (KIA)
Side: CSA
Regiment(s): 38th Virginia Infantry

Jackson M. Matherly was born about 1841 in Virginia. He may have been born in Pittsylvania, as that is where he is first seen in the 1850 census.

In that record he is in the home of likely parents Acey Matherly(1817 Va) and Mary Matherly(1820 Va). The following younger Matherlys listed in that record:

1. William 1832
2. JACKSON 1841
3. Madison 1842
4. Columbus W. 1844
5. Harriett J. 1848

The birth year shown by the census for William would make it suspect that he is a son of Acey and Mary.

Jackson would enlist in the CSA in 1861, joining the 38th Virginia Infantry, Company K. Jackson took part in the charge of Malvern Hill near Richmond on July 1, 1862, and was killed in the battle.

Madison Matherly was also in the 38th Virginia Infantry, Company K.
