The following documents some of the activities of Meshack Jessup during the Civil War.
In the "Surry County Soldiers in the Civil War" by Hester Bartlett Jackson, published by the Surry County Historical Society in 1992 the following
information is found about Meshack Jessup.
Meshack Jessup entered service as a conscript for the Confederacy on 16 October 1862 when he was 31 years old, in Company E, 53rd Regiment
of North Carolina Troops. He left the company 10 November 1862 from Drewry's Bluff, a fort just south of Richmond, Virginia. This was less than one
months service. No other information about where he went. (There were no battles there in November, 1862 which leads one to suspect that perhaps
Meshack deserted and at that time went to the Union side.)
A Winston Salem Journal newspaper article about him states that at the beginning of the war he enlisted in the Federal army and served throughout
the war. See below.

The Union Army records show Meshack Jessup as follows:
UNION NORTH CAROLINA VOLUNTEERS

This unit was formed in June 1864. Meshack Jessup left his unit at Drewry's Bluff in November 1862. Where was he for a year and a half? ;
The following article was taken from the March 1, 1894 issue of the Mt. Airy, N.C. Times.
Mr. Mesheck Jessup of Westfield, is a quiet unassuming industrious and thrifty man, a good farmer and an excellent citizen. While not an educated
man, he has traveled a good deal, seen much of the country and observed everything closely.
In some things he is what some people would call peculiar. His ideas along certain lines are unique. For instance, he believes it is unwholesome to
sleep in a bed, something he has not done since the war (the Civil War). At the beginning of the war, he says he was threatened with something like
dyspepsia. The outdoor life of the army agreed with him so much that he came out of the Army with a constitution sound in every particular. Since then
he has always slept on the floor with nothing under him but sheepskin, and without any covering whatever. He believes that sleeping under cover is a
fruitful cause of disease, as the covering prevents the ready escape of the vapors arising from the heated body which contains the germs of disease. In
cold weather he keeps a fire burning all night and sleeps close to it so he does not suffer any from the cold.
He neither smokes nor chews, nor does he drink any coffee, whiskey, tea or anything but water. He will not eat hog meat of any kind; says it is too
strong and consequently not wholesome. He will not eat sugar nor anything that has sugar in it, such as cakes, pies, etc.
He is now about sixty-five years old and says a sounder, healthier man cannot be found anywhere. He has not taken a dose of medicine since 1850.
In that year he says he was a little sick and took some medicine.
Mr. Jessup was a Whig and when that party went to pieces he became a Republican and has voted that ticket ever since. At the beginning of the
war he enlisted in the Federal army and served throughout the war.
Mr. Jessup expects to live to be a hundred years old and his strong, vigorous constitution at present indicates that his expectation is not altogether
groundless.
According to family tradition, Meshack was eccentric!....and not necessarily well thought of after his second marriage to Eliza Goins. The Goins family
in that area were known as mulattos. This was also documented in an article in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly in March, 1992 about triethnic families in the Upper South. Considering the generally conservative nature of the Jessup family of Westfield it is easily understood why the
family might have thought him to be odd. According to oral family tradition Meshack Jessup was a spy for both sides during the Civil War. The following
document shows that he had other unexpected activities during the war which possibly explain the oral tradition.
This is a genealogy and history of William Hickman of Mount Airy, NC, which also gives a little of the flavor of the Civil War times.
1. WILLIAM RUSSELL4 HICKMAN (WILLIAM HARD1N3, WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) was born September 6, 1846 in Mount Airy, Surry, County, North
Carolina, and died November 11, 1932 in Guthrie, Logan County, Oklahoma. He married (1) RHODA CORDELL September 9, 1869 in Cedar County,
Missouri, daughter of SPENCER CORDELL and REBECCA DRAIN. She was born 1850 in Washington County, Arkansas, and died October 27, 1878
in Charleston, Greenwood County, Kansas. He married (2) MARY ELIZABETH VARNUM July 3, 1879 in Altoona, Wilson County, Kansas, daughter of
AMOS VARNUM and SUZANNAH WHITE. She was born January 8, 1857 in Williams County, Ohio, and died October 14, 1937 in Guthrie, Logan
County, Oklahoma.

document he stated that his disabilities were Rheumatism causing numbness of hands and limbs. He stated that at 79 years of age he could not dress
or undress himself. Frequently can do no manual labor. Deafness in left ear. Sight of both eyes almost gone. He lists his occupation as farmer.
On December 26, 1882, War Department record states: On rolls from October 3, 1864 to February 28, 1865, present. March and April 1865 absent on
detail service since April 29, 1865. May and June 1865 present. He was mustered out with Company August 8, 1865. No rolls on file in this office
previous to September and October 1864. Reports show him October 8, 1864 absent sick in hospital. November 23, 1864, returned from General

Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee since December 10. Company returns for July 65 absent sick in hospital since July 13, 1865. Nature of illness not
stated. Regular Hospital records not on file. signed M. Barber, Assistant Adjutant General Claimant's testimony. February 22, 1883 states: that at Bull's
Gap, Tennessee on or about October 9th, 1864, he was relapsed with measles, and placed in Regimental Hospital at Bull's Gap. Thence taken to
Knoxville, Tennessee at General Hospital, U.S., that rheumatism at Knoxville, Tennessee, set in and located itself in the muscle and joints; rather of a
general character and has remained so from that time up to now, worse at times than others. That he has not been in the military or naval service of the
U.S. Service since this discharge in August 8th, 1865.
William Russell Hickman left home, at age 17 years, to travel to Tennessee. He enlisted July 24, 1864 in Elizabethtown, by a story written in 1930 of his
travels. He served in the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, 23rd Corps, Company A.

GRANDPA HICKMAN'S STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR (as dictated to Muriel Seaman in 1930).
William Russell Hickman
The Civil War as William Russell Hickman saw it - "Well, I don't know where to begin unless I begin at the beginning! We had three elections in North Carolina to hold the state in the Union. The Union
won every time. Finally, Governor Ellis issued a proclamation declaring the state out of the Union. Virginia, on the north and South Carolina, on the
south, had already seceded. When they started to enlist soldiers, Senator Chesnut from South Carolina came up to Mount Airy, North Carolina to make
us a speech. "Come on boys," he said, "one southern man can whip a dozen Yankees, and we don't even need a gun. All we need is a polk stalk, show
a bold front and they'll duck tail and run". In an hour he had a hundred enlistments. I was 14 when he made that speech, but I remember it as plain as
yesterday. Seemed to me he was putting it a little strong.
I stayed in Mount Airy three years after that. Force was used to compel those over 18 to enlist. My brother, John enlisted in 1862 in the Union Army. He
got away from Mount Airy all right but he didn't get outside North Carolina until he was captured by Witcher's Cavalry, with 6 companions. They were
taken to camp, but Union men made a raid and in the retreat, the captured boys made their escape. They crossed the Ohio River and signed up for the
Union. Gabriel had already enlisted in the 12th Kansas Infantry. John was in the 39th Kentucky Mounted. He went in a Private and came out a
Lieutenant.
Before I was 17, I made up my mind that I'd never fight for Jeff. (Jeff Davis) When I decided to enter the Union Army, it was not to free the Negro, I was
just fighting for the Union. Just after Harper's Ferry, my dad had to fight a fellow for jumping onto him over the Negro question. Someone had said that
he thought the Harper Ferry incident would bring on a war: Dad said maybe it would end with freeing every slave in the U. S. A slave holder jumped
onto him for saying that, but Dad gave him two bad looking eyes.
In July 1864, two Union recruiting officers slipped into Mount Airy. We had Union men all through the settlement, and every one of us, knew
our neighbor's convictions. The union recruiters had a regular route they traveled once a month or more. This route we called an underground railway.
At this time, I decided to enlist for Uncle Sam. Thirty-six of us from the Mount Airy neighborhood, mostly boys, started out with these two officers on the
night of July 24, 1864. We traveled until about 4 o'clock the next evening, then stopped at a spring to rest. I leaned back against a tree and went to
sleep. I remember hearing a gun fire, but I must have run in my sleep for the first thing I knew I hit my head on the limb of a tree and that woke me up. I
leaned down to pick up my hat, when another gun shot cut a tree limb right off. It was a second cousin of mine who had fired. He belonged to the Local
Home Guard of the Confederates. I ran on as fast as I could through the heavy woods. Meantime, some of my companions had joined me - 16 out of
the 36 - and we went on together until dark. When crossing an open road, a musket clicked and the flash passed just a few inches in front of me. Other
muskets were fired, but they were discharged into the air. Their idea was to frighten us. Most of the Home Guards were old friends, and many were
really sympathetic toward the Union. In this fight we lost one of our recruiting officers. We started running again. I fell and struck a pine knot under the
ball of my eye. You can still see the scar. (I could, the lower lid was always droopy and inflamed). I sat up and decided I had just as good a chance
staying right there as to go on running. My eye hurt terribly. While I sat there, four of my companions came by. I caught at them and whispered for them
to stop. We stayed right there from Saturday night until Monday morning. Then the five of us set out and got to Bob Bryant's place. Bob was one of Jeff
Davis' congressmen, but he was home for a while from Richmond. He told us to sit under an apple tree while he and his wife brought us some food. I
forgot to tell you that before we got to Bob's all 16 of us had gotten together again. In a short time Bob, his wife and a slave came with a wash tub full of
grub- pie, cake, beans, bacon and coffee and set us a meal right there under the apple tree. When we started on our way again, Bob wished us good
luck. We thanked him and traveled on for a week.
Meantime Jeff Davis had sent out a company of Hoke's Division to head us off. We heard from a Union man that we didn't have a chance to get
through. We were then in the northwest corner of North Carolina, close to Crab Orchard, Tennessee. We sat down, on the ground out in the timber, and
held a council of war. The recruiting officer started around the ring asking; "What are you going to do"? "Going home," some answered. And so it went.
Only five of us said we were going through or die on the way. Then the officer and the five of us took the others, a two week journey, back showing
them the way home. We escorted them within 8 miles of Dobson, North Carolina. There we told them "Good bye", turned right about face and started
back over the road again.
One day we sat down in a wood's pasture, when we saw a company of Home Guards going by. We flattened ourselves on the ground and they didn't
see us. Next day, we came to the home of a friend, Sam Spicer. He was Captain of the Home Guard near Wilkesborough, North Carolina. We went into
the yard. Sam's wife was standing in the doorway and said, "You men hurry up; we've been waiting for you all this time. Twenty Rebels were sitting at
the table. We played we weren't afraid, but every bite I ate got bigger and bigger. I just couldn't eat, so I said, "I'm awfully dry. Can I have a drink"? She
said, "you'll have to go to the spring to get it". The five of us went to the spring. By and by, Sam's wife came out and told us that food would be in the
spring house for us that night and as many nights as we needed it. She said she thought the Confederates were completely fooled and would not
suspicion a thing. We stayed 3 days until the Home Guards disbanded for a few days. Then we started on again.
A week or so later, we got into a Yankee farmyard, but the farmer warned us to go back because a troop of confederates had been there a few minutes
before. So we retreated 11 miles south and found out from a widow woman that we could go 70 miles southwest and cross the Blue Ridge without any
danger of interference.
We traveled steadily through drizzling rain for four days and a half with not a bite of food in all that time. Blackest nights I ever saw. We got lost and
went in a circle, but at noon on the fourth day we came out nearly on top of the Blue Ridge. A bunch of sheep were in sight. The recruiting officer
was going to kill one but two of us grabbed him. He begged to kill just one but we held on. About that time a wind storm came up and a flying limb off a
tree frightened the sheep away, so we turned Meshack Jessup loose. About that time, we sighted a Confederate camp not 60 yard away. It had
been hidden by the heavy clouds. What would have happened to us if we had shot a sheep? Now, we ran for it again. I began to think what a close call
we had had, and the fright made me fall in the mud three times. About four o'clock that afternoon, we came into a clearing where we saw a farm house.
I went to see if we could get something to eat. An old gray headed woman was sitting knitting. She cried when I told her what I wanted and told me we
could have food. She had a son hiding out, too. We had a good meal. Three days later we were met by Colonel E. W. Kirk (I believe this must be
Colonel E. W. McCook) about six miles out from Bull's Gap. Here I began my military service in the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry, 2nd Brigade,
2nd Division, 23rd Corps, Company A; with W. T. Sherman, my commanding officer".
"The engagements I fought in were:

George Smith was the 'miserliest man on the mountain' according to many in the Terry family. He was so stingy that he wouldn't even let his nephew,
Etna Terry, and the other children have any of the apples which had fallen to the ground. George wanted to sell the apples to a distillery. Aunt Lurinda
took the children aside and gave them a bag, telling them to stay out of George's sight and fill their bag with apples before going home.
Etna Terry once worked for George Smith, plowing and sowing behind a big black horse. It was cold and damp and Etna finished the day nearly frozen.
Etna stayed with George when he worked for him, and at the end of this cold day Etna mad his way to the house with it's two big chimneys and
fireplaces on two floors. He had no sooner built himself a roaring fire and settled down before it, than George opened the door, saw the fire and said
"Drat, Drat, we can't have that." George brought a pail of water and dowsed the fire. Etna put on his coat and went home!

better. The Pike City land was mainly hillside and not cleared. At Pike City Etna operated a blacksmith shop with Uncle Willie Stanley. Today the Pike
City property is owned by Harless Webb. Etna sold the land to Harless' daddy. The old blacksmith shop is no longer standing but Harless Webb
rebuild it in the same spot, with a sign 'Blacksmith Shop-Formerly Terry's'.
In 1918 the family moved to the Green Hull place located between the Blue Ridge Parkway and route 614, between George Smith and John Barnard.
Etna added a large kitchen and bedroom at the back of the house and set up his blacksmith shop and forge in Green's old stillhouse. In the early 20's
Etna built a new two story house on the Green Hull property. The family remained in that house until Etna's and Julinia's death in 1946 and 1947. One
unique feature of the house was a 'spring house' attached to the kitchen, which consisted of water flowing from a distant spring through a space
constructed to keep milk and butter cold. ; Etna was thrown out of Maple Shade Primitive Baptist Church by the preacher, Joel Marshall. The reason
was his visit to another Primitive Baptist Church where Etna's nephew, Sam Terry, was the preacher. Sam's church had slightly different belief, one of
absolute predestination. He was ill with W.E.G. Terry died as a result of a stroke.

middle of the Depression them lived for one year with Troy's family. There were 7 or 8 at the table when dinner was served.
Sudie cooked most meals and Ida helped. There were lots of small dishes with enough for about a tablespoon per person.
Troy's sisters ate very little. Julina 'ate like a bird' and was described as 'skin and bones'. Etna ate more; he especially liked
'fatback'. When the preachers came to dinner, and that was often, Sudie made big meals. She especially made pies. She set a
pretty table. She would make cakes and serve slices on a plate. Fruit was served in stemmed glasses with the cake.
There were many stories my father told about his early life on the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 20's and 30's. The following are
some small examples:
Troy Terry took Jimmy Bowman to Mt. Airy one day. Jimmy had a lamb to sell (he had engaged it the week before). He had the
lamb in a crate he had built, and he sat on the crate in the back of the truck. This was Halloween night and someone had strung
a piece of wire between the telephone pole on one side and a tree on the other side of the road. Troy did not see the wire, and it
hit the truck just under the sun visor. The tree fell over and hit the crate right behind where Jimmy was sitting, but neither the
lamb nor Jimmy was hurt.
On the day in the early part of the century, after a tornado hit the Bell Spur community and almost destroyed Jake Radford's
house, Troy gave a ride to Jake Radford and Jimmy Bowman as he was on his way down the Squirrel Spur to Mt. Airy, N.C..
Jimmy said to Jake, "Well the Lord must have been with you last night during the storm." Jake said back, "Well, By God, if He
was, He was in a mighty dangerous place."
Troy was helping his brother Lerty deliver lumber in the early 20's from Jar Gap on top of the mountain near the present Blue
Ridge Parkway to Mt. Airy. Troy and Dorsey Dalton used a wagon to haul loads of lumber down Squirrel Spur which was at that
time a toll road. There was a toll gate near the present Clarks Creek Church...25 cents!
Troy and Dorsey stopped at the toll
gate, unloaded the lumber and handed it across the gate to be loaded on a truck for delivery to Mt. Airy. That 25 cents was very
valuable.

harvest. He went as far north as North Dakota before returning to Indianapolis where he worked in a dairy. About 1909 George Jessup wished to buy
land on top of the mountain because Lura Lynch would not marry him and move to North Carolina, leaving her mother. Grandpa Jessup was on his
way to the top of the mountain to buy land. He met a man at the foot of the mountain who ask him where he was going. George said he was going to
buy land. "Where?" the man asked. George said "The Green Hull place". The other man said he was sorry but he had just bought it.... Grandpa was
disappointed, turned around and went back to Westfield, N.C. It was not true! The land was still for sale and later was bought by Etna Terry, my other
grandfather. My grandma Lynch was very disappointed. George bought a Ford truck in 1929 which he kept until 1934. He was 40 years old at the
time and never learned to drive very well. He hauled lumber from Mt. Airy when he was building his home. Once when he was going up the Squirrel
Spur mountain road just below what was then Jake's Cut, the engine stalled and he must have taken it out of gear.... the truck started rolling backward
down the mountain. It almost went off the side of the mountain but it hit a fallen tree and stopped.
In 1929 George took a truckload of cabbage and potatoes to Amelia County to sell. Lura went with him. Ida stayed home with Grandma Emeline.
(Lura's brother Samp who then lived in Amelia County had convinced them that they could easily sell the produce there.) It was a long trip with very
bad roads. In 2005 with good roads it takes 4 hours. When they got back a neighbor, Grover Young, asked George how he liked all those stop lights in
Danville. George said he did not see any stop lights in Danville! (They were on poles on the side of the streets.).
