In 1820, Winston married Elizabeth Cheadle Clark (1800-1852), daughter of Bowling and Elizabeth Cheadle Clark; the couple would have five sons. Among Elizabeth Clark Winston's five siblings were Lucy Clark (1793-1864), Mary Harris Clark (1797-1865), and Bowling Clark (1798-1877), likely the recipients of most of the letters in this collection.","A member of the Society of Friends, Winston was opposed to slavery and moved his family to Indiana in 1830 to be distanced from it. The 1850 census lists the Winstons, with sons Ambrose, Charles, and William H. H., as residents of Franklin (Montgomery County), Indiana. Elizabeth Winston later returned to Virginia with sons Ambrose, Charles, and William H. H. and died there. Pleasant Winston remained in Indiana with eldest sons Bowling and Pleasant.","Ambrose Whitlock Winston was born in Indiana on May 30, 1835. Though he appears with his family in the 1850 federal census in Montgomery County, Indiana, he apparently moved to Virginia with his mother and two of his brothers later that year. A resident of Lynchubrg, Winston enlisted in Company E, 58th Virginia Infantry at Richmond on October 12, 1861. By March, 1862, he had been commissioned a lieutenant. He is listed on company muster rolls until May 1, 1862. (According to brother William H. H. Winston, Ambrose served throughout the war in southwestern Virginia, \"with the exception of one year that he was detailed Quarter-Master-Sergeant to buy supplies around Lynchburg for the Army.\" He is likely the A. W. Winston who served in Company A, 22nd Virginia Cavalry, and was paroled at Campbell Court House, Virginia, on June 12, 1865. On May 20, 1863, Ambrose Winston married Lucy Eldridge Davis (1838-1864); later he married Lelia Lee Rucker (1848-1916), with whom he fathered four children. Ambrose W. Whitlock died on May 11, 1897, and was buried in Winston-Clark Family Cemetery, Altavista (Campbell County), Virginia. ","William Henry Harrison Winston was born in Montgmery County, Indiana, on July 29, 1840. In early 1861, he was an overseer on the Campbell County, Virginia, plantation (\"LaGrange\") of his uncle, Bowling Clark. On May 23, 1861, with his brother Charles, Winston went to Manassas, Virginia, where they joined the Lynchburg Home Guard, which later became Company G, 11th Virginia Infantry. Winston remained with the regiment until being wounded at the Battle of Frazier's Farm (June 30, 1862). He rejoined the regiment following the Battle of Antietam. At the Battle of Gettysburg, he was again wounded and was taken prisoner, held at Fort McKinsie, then Fort Delaware, and finally Point Lookout before being exchanged on February 13, 1865. He married Nancy Powell Moorman (1841-1916) on February 29, 1866; the couple had three children. The 1870 census shows the Winstons living and farming in Amherst County, Virginia.  William H. H. Winston died while living with his daughter in Southampton County, Virginia, on March 14, 1934, and was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Lynchburg, Virginia. ","Charles Jones Winston was born in Montgomery County, Indiana, on August 22, 1837. In early 1861, he was overseer on Hills Creek plantation in Campbell County, Virginia. At the outbreak of the American Civil War, he enlisted with his brother William in the Lynchburg Home Guard, later Company G, 11th Virginia Infantry. He remained with the regiment throughout the war, but is listed on company muster rolls as sick on October 1, 1861; wounded in action, July 3, 1863; and again wounded in action April 1, 1865. In 1867, he married Mary Elizabeth Alexander; the couple would have five children. The 1880 federal census shows the Winstons living and farming in Campbell County, Virginia. Charles J. Winston died on March 16, 1889, and was buried in Winston-Clark Family Cemetery.  ","Ambrose W.

Most of the letters are from Charles Jones Winston, William Henry Harrison Winston, and Ambrose Winston, all serving with Virginia infantry regiments in the Confederate Army. ","The 29 letters of Charles Jones Winston (Company G, 11th Virginia Infantry) comprise more than half of the collection. Commencing on July 9, 1861, in Centerville [Virginia], Winston's letters trace his regiment's movements through camps in Virginia and North Carolina. Among many other topics, he writes of picket duty, incidents in camp life, the deaths and woundings of mutual acquaintances, camp rations and other food, Christmas dinner, constructing quarters, and his efforts to secure a position in a cavalry regiment. He describes in detail the Battle of Williamsburg and his regiment's march through North Carolina. The final letter is dated March 8, 1865, at Chester Station [Virginia].","Letters from William Henry Harrison Winston (Company G, 11th Virginia Infantry) are also located in the collection and begin with a letter written at Centerville on August 15, 1861. Winston writes briefly of mutual acqaintances and life in camp, and soldiers absent without leave. On March 20, 1863, he writes from the hospital in Petersburg, being unable to march. Winston's two final letters are dated from Point Lookout [Virginia], on January 27, 1865, and discuss a recent death in the family.","Among the other correspondence in the collection are three letters written by Ambrose W. Winston (Company E, 58th Virginia Infantry) at Central Depot, Richmond (October 19, 1861); camp at Alleghany (January 4, 1862); and Elm Wood (December 30, 1863). Winston writes briefly of regimental movements and mutual acquaintances, and in the final letter, he discusses at length the need to find a place to care for his horse over the winter. Also in the collection are single letters from V. J. Butcher; (Miss) M. Clark; M. A. Dearing; Maria (Horton?); M. C. Massie; Lucy E. Winston; and Florence, a student at Wytheville Female College.

Miscellaneous letters not directly related to the Gilbert family are found at the end of the collection.","Wright Gilbert was born in New York around 1836. He enlisted as a private in Company E of the 168th New York Infantry on January 23, 1863, and mustered out as a sergeant on October 31 of that year. In 1864, Gilbert enlisted in the 6th New York Heavy Artillery at Peekskill. He was mustered in as a first lieutenant in Company B on April 23, 1864. On February 14, 1865, he was mustered in as captain of Company G, then transferred back to Company B on March 5. He mustered out with the company at Washington D. C. on August 24, 1865. In post-war New York census records, Gilbert is listed as a grocer, living in Putnam and Westchester counties. He was a member of the Crosby Post (302) G.A.R. in Brewster, serving for a time as senior vice-commander. He married twice; with his first wife, Margaret Perry, he had three children: Alice, Herbert and Percy. He fathered four additional children with his second wife, Marion. Wright Gilbert died in 1906. ","The 168th New York was mustered into service at Newburgh, New York on January 23, 1863 for nine months' service. The regiment saw action at Walkerton and Yorktown, Virginia in early June and was mustered out at Newburgh upon completion of its term on October 31, 1863.","The 6th New York Heavy Artillery had been organized as the 135th New York Infantry in September 1862. The regiment was converted to an artillery unit later that year. Within the Railroad Division of the 8th Corps, Middle Department, the 6th served in the defense of the Upper Potomac beginning in January 1863. Later, the 6th participated in several battles, including the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Cold Harbor before participating in the siege of Petersburg. The regiment was mustered out of the service on August 24, 1865 near Washington D. C.","The guide to the Wright Gilbert Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement and description of the Wright Gilbert Papers commenced and was completed in August 2008.","This collection contains the papers of Wright Gilbert, a captain in the 6th New York Heavy Artillery during the Civil War. The collection includes Gilbert's Civil War diary, a few pieces of correspondence (including one wartime letter), a collection of family photos, and ephemera. ","Gilbert's diary spans the entire year of 1865. The diary commences with Gilbert noting the regiment's position (\"Bermud[a] front Va near the Dutch Gap\"). In very brief entries, Gilbert proceeds to record the activities of the day, such as picket and court-martial duties, together with observations on the weather and camp health. He notes military engagements (January 25, 1865: \"Rebel Gun Boats com down the James an try to get by the obstructions\") and significant events of the day, such as receiving word of Lee's surrender and Lincoln's death. He frequently records small financial transactions in the diary. Following the end of combat, Gilbert frequently mentions his work, cleaning the streets of Petersburg and completing the company's paperwork, as well as recreational activities such as baseball. Beginning in September, most of the entries seem to relate to the construction of Gilbert's house and store.","Accompanying the diary are several letters, including one written by Gilbert at Bermuda Hundred, Virginia on February 8, 1865. Gilbert describes weather conditions and his living quarters and mentions the many Confederate deserters crossing the lines. In an 1893 letter to his daughter, Gilbert describes some of his experiences in battle. The collection also contains a 1900 letter to Gilbert from fellow veteran of the 6th New York Artillery Henry Irving, in which Irving describes his home on the edge of the South Mountain battlefield (the building having once served as General McClellan's headquarters) and a recent trip to Petersburg, comparing it to the city they had known in after the war. Also included are several letters received from M. W. Sutton following Gilbert's death and recounting experiences with Gilbert in the war. ","Together with these materials is a brief description of Gilbert's service with the 6th and an inspirational printed circular letter regarding Colonel J. Howard Kitching and addressed to the 6th New York Artillery. Completing the collection is a set of 10 photos of members of the Gilbert family","The collection also contains a small collection of seemingly unrelated materials, including: an 1835 letter from H. Goddard of Portland, Maine to John S. [Barron?]; an 1823 letter to Captain Jamie Drysdale, of the 23rd Bengal Native Infantry in India, from a relative in Jerviston, Scotland, regarding his uncle's estate and other financial matters; an 1845 letter to Messrs. Lindsay \u0026 Blackiston, of Philadelphia, from Jacob Ernst, of Cincinnati, regarding the purchase of books; an 1829 letter from C. Cushing of Newburyport, New Hampshire, to Thorndike Putnam, of Hampstead, New Hampshire, regarding a stone for the grave of Putnam's brother; an 1853 letter from E. Matson, of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, to H. James, of Baltimore, regarding timber business; an 1853 letter from Partridge \u0026 Goold, of New York to Mr. Waldron, regarding the sale of rollers; and an 1855 letter from J. H. Bumstead \u0026 Company to William Waldron, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, regarding an order for a grounding machine part.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.
