David Golladay
136 Virginia Militia

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

David was thirty five years old and not married when he enlisted in the Virginia militia on 29 November 1861 at Woodstock.

He was assigned to work at Caroline Furnace on 15 December 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."

- from "The History of Virginia"


A letter to David written by his brother Jacob Burner Golladay after the battle of Chancellorsville was discovered in 1994:
