Thomas D. Gold (Co. I, 2nd Virginia Infantry)

Thomas D. Gold enlisted at 16 in the Clarke company that became Company I, 2nd Virginia Infantry, by both his service cards and his 1915 obituary, which are probably the same man's. He was wounded at Second Manassas in 1862, captured near Spotsylvania Court House in May 1864, and held at Point Lookout and Elmira until 1865. The obituary says he served on the county board of supervisors and in the Virginia Senate, and published a history of Clarke County a little more than a year before he died at "Ellwood" in 1915.

Is this the same man?

IDENTITY Likely The obituary and the service cards agree on name, Company I and the Second Virginia Regiment; no card names Ellwood.

What distinguishes him: The obituary names Thomas Daniel Gold and says he enlisted in Company I, Second Virginia Regiment; the compiled service record cards name Thomas D. Gold (once "Gould", once "Thos. Gold", once T. D. Gold) in Co. I, 2nd Virginia Infantry, whose company the muster-roll footnote says was Capt. Bowen's Clarke Riflemen. No card names Ellwood or a family member, so the match rests on name, company and regiment: Likely, not Confirmed. This entry is kept separate from the collection's entry for the author of the 1914 county history.

Clarke connection: Residence and death in an obituary: the Winchester Evening Star of December 6, 1915 says he was born and reared at "Ellwood," in Clarke County, spent practically his entire life on that estate, died there and was buried in Green Hill Cemetery (claims C1364 and C1370); the 1861 muster-roll card of the compiled service record says "from Clarke County" and enrolment at Berryville (C1371), and the oath of parole has "Nr Berryville" in the margin (C1375).

Typed transcription
Thos. D. Gold Dead (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) Thomas Gold, of Berryville. Mr. Gold's wife, who was formerly Miss Sarah Helm Barnett, died some years ago. They were married in 1866. Mr. Gold was educated at the old Berryville Academy, which was for many years in charge of Rev. William Johnston. At the age of 16 years he entered the service of the Confederate army, enlisting in Company I, Second Virginia Regiment, which was attached to the Stonewall Brigade. The company was first commanded by Captain Bowen, later by Capt. S. J. C. Moore, and finally by Captain O'Bannon. During the second battle of Manassas he was desperately wounded, and was for a long time unable to perform military duties. Upon recovering, however, returned to his company and was with it in all the engagements in which the command participated until May, 1864, when he was captured and made prisoner at Bloody Angle, near Spottsylvania [sic] Court House. He was confined at Point Lookout prison about three months, from which place he was transferred[.] to the military prison at Elmira, N. Y., where he remained until he was exchanged in the spring of 1865. He continued his service in the army of Northern Virginia until the close of the war. Mr. Gold willed [sic] many civil offices in Clarke county, having been elected by large majorities to practically every office for which he was a candidate. He was a lifelong Democrat and took an active interest in politics and public affairs generally. He was for many years a member of the board of Supervisors of Clarke county, the representative for four years in the Virginia Senate from this senatorial district, composed of the counties of Clarke, Warren and Page, and had been a member of the board of directors of the Bank of Clarke County since that institution was established here many years ago. He was also a member and deacon of the Baptist Church. A little more than a year ago Mr. Gold published a book, containing a history of Clarke county and the part her sons took in the Confederate service during the civil war. The funeral of Mr. Gold took place this afternoon from the Baptist Church ,and the services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Julian Broaddus. Burial was in Green Hill Cemetery. The cashier and members of the board of directors of the Bank of Clarke County acted as honorary pallbearers.
