John B. Hildreth

M, b. 1844, d. 14 October 1863
     John B. Hildreth was also known as John M. Hildreth.1 He was born in 1844 in Dale County, Alabama.1 He was the son of Reverend Benjamin J. Hildreth and Jemima Anna Dowling.1 John B. enlisted as a private in Company A, 54th Alabama Infantry.

The 54th Alabama Infantry Regiment (formerly the 50th Alabama Infantry Regiment) was organized from six Alabama companies ("B", "C", "D", "E", "F", and "I") of the 1st Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee Regiment of Col. Alpheus Baker, and four Alabama companies ("A", "E", "H", and "K") of the 40th Tennessee Regiment of Col. L. M. Walker. These companies had all been captured at Island No. 10, after nearly a year's arduous service above Memphis. Organized at Jackson, MS, in October, 1862, under Paragraph XXIX, Special Order 59, dated at Jackson, MS, 29 September 1862, the 54th operated in the vicinity of Vicksburg during the winter. It fought at Ft. Pemberton with light loss and at Baker's Creek with similar results. Having escaped Vicksburg by moving with General William W. Loring from Baker's Creek, the 54th was soon after at the siege of Jackson (July 63). It was then transferred to the army of General Braxton Bragg. The regiment wintered (1863-64) at Dalton, GA, and was engaged in the campaign from there to Atlanta. The regiment lost severely at Resaca (14-15 May 64) and at Atlanta (22 July 64). The loss was very heavy at Atlanta (28 July 64), with more than half the regiment being killed or wounded. The regimental flag was perforated by 40 bullets. The 54th moved with General John Bell Hood into middle Tennessee and shared in the privations and disasters of that campaign. Transferred to North Carolina, it fought at Bentonville, its last battle. It was consolidated with the 37th and 42nd Infantry to form the 37th Regiment (Consolidated) on or about 9 April 1865. Only a remnant remained to surrender with the forces of General Joseph E. Johnston.2

He died on 14 October 1863 He was single when he died. Died in the Civil War.3 On October 14, 1863, [Gen] A.P. Hill’s corps stumbled upon two corps of the retreating Union army at Bristoe Station and attacked without proper reconnaissance. Union soldiers of the II Corps, posted behind the Orange & Alexandria Railroad embankment, mauled two brigades of Henry Heth’s division and captured a battery of artillery. Hill reinforced his line but could make little headway against the determined defenders. After this victory, the Federals continued their withdrawal to Centreville unmolested. Lee’s Bristoe offensive sputtered to a premature halt. After minor skirmishing near Manassas and Centreville, the Confederates retired slowly to Rappahannock River destroying the Orange & Alexandria Railroad as they went. At Bristoe Station, Hill lost standing in the eyes of Lee, who angrily ordered him to bury his dead and say no more about it.3 He was buried at Old Tabernacle Methodist Church Cemetery, Dale County, Alabama.3

Samuel Commander was earlier in Dobbs County NC, where he bought land from John Simmons.62 The 1790 federal census lists Joseph Boutwell in Georgetown District, Prince Frederick’s Parish. Burton and John Boutwell63 were listed in Barnwell County.
