Note for: Cargill Massenburg Lynch, 1 JUN 1844 - 27 DEC 1887 Index
Burial:
Place: Wright Family Cemetery, Highway 692
Individual note:
According to "Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia:"
Massenburg Lynch was 20 years of age when he was drafted into the Union
Army at Hillsboro, Ohio, 27 September 1864. He was assigned to the 78th
Regiment, Ohio Infantry, and was present with the regiment at Columbus,
Ohio, on 23 October 1864. He became a member of Col. I on 7 November 1864.
Massenburg was present with his company through December and into 1865.
J. Leonard Lynch of White Plains, a grandson, says that Massenburg served
in Sherman's army and evidently joined them when they were coming up
thorugh the Carolinas. He is said to have been in one of three columns of
the Army and to have camped one night at Tambernacle Church when they
were passing through Brunswick County.
On 30 May 1865, Massenburg was in Washington, D.C., when he was
discharged by order of the War Department. He still at this date had not
recieved any pay for service in the Union Army.
A report of 11 July 1865 shows Massenburg in Louisville, Kentucky, and
still the only compensation he had recieved for service in the Union Army
was some clothing that was valued at $65.34.
While Massenburg was drafted into the Union Army, his heart was in
Brunswick County. In February 1867, he returned to the county of his
birth. On 1 January 1868, he married Cecelia Ann Wright, daughter of
Lewis Laxton Wright and Rebecca Moore, mentioned in the topic about Pvt.
Henry Gilliam Wright.
They lived near Elams, North Carolina until 1881 when they bought a farm
in Brunswick county and moved back. The land was on what today are
Highways 611 and 722. The south Brunswick fire tower was on that land in
the 1970s.
----------
His tombstone, located at Wright Family Cemetery on Highway 692, says he
served in Co. I, 78th Ohio Infantry Regiment.
