From Dale: The gentleman sixth from the left----or 5 from the right-- on front row, I believe is Bartley Hezekiha Benton my great grandfather. [Note: He was a 1st Lieut. in Co F, 2nd NC Junior Reserves. He was born Sep 2, 1846 and died Feb 8, 1926].

[1] Minor Jackson Short - Born: 28 Oct 1837-Died: 14 Aug 1932. Buried: Weddington Methodist Church near Waxhaw, NC. Parents: John Short & Nancy __. Spouse: Hannah Abigail Montgomery (B: 20 Aug 1840, D: 2 Feb 1902, Buried: next to Minor). Children: Liza, Melinda, David F., Thomas M., William A., Josie B. Tidbits of info: He stood 5' 9 1/2" tall, outlived his wife by 30 years living to be 95 yrs old, and the story goes that he swore he would never cut his beard until the south won. Unfortunately he died before this could happen. He enlisted in Conf States Army on 15 March 1862 @ Griffins and went immediately to Camp Mangum where he was mustered into Co. E, 48th Regiment, N.C. Infantry as a private on 19 March 1862. He was a 24 yr old farmer from Union County and was 5 ft. 9 1/2 inches tall. Minor was wounded twice. The first time at Richmond, VA in June 1862 and the in Dec 1862 @ Fredericksburg, VA. After the battle @ Fredericksburg, Minor was promoted to Corporal. After his return to Union County, Minor & his wife lived in the Prospect area. He made a living farming but the big thing in his life was to attend the United Confederate Veterans reunion. Thus my reasoning that the gentleman may be my GGrandfather Minor Jackson Short. Terry Purcell <Terry.Purcell@isc-mail.com>
