James Robert Troup

He was a farmer and physician in Glynn County, GA before the War. He was commissioned Lieutenant and assigned as aide-de-camp to General Toombs on 1 March 1862.

From General Toombs' Report:

... While forming in the road, Captain Troup, my aide, on my extreme left rallied a portion of General Kemper's brigade, who were retiring from the field, attached it to my line of battle, and led them into action with conspicuous gallantry and skill ... I desired to pursue the enemy across the river, but being deficient in artillery to meet his heavy batteries on the other side, I sent my aide, Captain Troup, to General Lee for the purpose of supplying myself, who ordered Captain Squires to report to me immediately, which he was unable to do, from not receiving the order in time, until nearly night ... In the final conflict Captain Troup was on the left of my line ... It happened to my aide, Capt. J. R. Troup, on three occasions during the day, while in the performance of his ordinary duties, to pass troops which had broken and left their positions, on all of which occasions he rallied them with great skill and energy, succeeding on one occasion in leading them back into position, and on another inspired them with his own courage and enthusiasm, and led them successfully in the charge on the enemy's columns. Captain Troup's conduct throughout the day was conspicuous for ability and courage, and is entitled to marked and special approbation.

He was assigned as Captain and Assistant Adjutant General to General W. H. T. Walker on 30 June 30, 1863. He was again wounded, in action at Chickamauga, GA on 19 September 1863. He was assigned to General Iverson's staff in December 1864.

He was a rice planter in Darien.
