John B. O'Neall

He enlisted in Company F, Third Infantry, from the Laurens District on 14 April 1861. Mustered as Second Sergeant on 6 June 1861 at Columbia, SC. Promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on 4 September 1861.

He was probably, though not certainly present at Sharpsburg.

Promoted First Lieutenant on 11 December 1862 and wounded in action at Fredericksburg, VA 13 December. He was [mortally] wounded in action at Gettysburg, PA in July 1863, left at Williamsport, MD, and [possibly] died in Federal prison of his wounds. Originally buried "In Alms house lot at Hagerstown." Probably reinterred at the Confederate Cemetery in about 1874.

Burial information from Pruett1, who lists him as Lieutenant J.B. O'Neale. Military data and wound information from Salley2. who also says he survived to lose a leg in action at Chickamauga, GA in September 1863 and was promoted to Captain 7 October 1863. One of our references is wrong.

Date not known; Hagerstown, MD; burial in Washington Confederate Cemetery, Hagerstown, MD
