David Golladay
136 Virginia Militia

Son of Abraham Golladay and Mary Burner
Husband of Mary Susan Sheetz
 

David was not married when he enlisted 29 Nov 1861 at Woodstock in the Virginia militia.

He was assigned to work at Caroline Furnace on 15 Dec 1861.
 

During the war he did some freighting for the Confederate government, chiefly some materials for furnaces. After the war he voted as a republican, and his interests in local affairs led him to accept various official responsibilities. He was overseer of the poor and road commissioner.
