Joseph “Joe” Israel Daniel, forth child of Captain Enoch and Anna Eliza Bird Daniel, was born at Taylors Creek, Georgia on October 1, 1842. He attended Emory College at Oxford, Georgia where he was preparing to become a doctor; but, before reaching this goal, he was called into Confederate service.
Joe joined Captain William Hughes’ cavalry company, the “Liberty Guards” which became Company B, 1st Battalion Georgia Cavalry. He served with the unit in picketing along the coast. In 1863 the unit became Company D, 5th Georgia Cavalry. After forays into South Carolina and Florida, the regiment was called to Atlanta to join Major General Wheeler’s Cavalry Corps.
In June 1864 the “Guards” saw action at the Battle of Noonday Church. The “Guards” was pretty well shot up and Private Daniel was wounded in the hip. His jacket is preserved in the Midway Museum at Midway, Georgia. Joe survived the wound and was paroled at Savannah on May 5, 1865.
In his later years, his mode of transportation was a black buggy with his trusted steed, “Old Gray.” His other companion was his birddog named Kermit. He died on April 23, 1923 and is buried in the Taylors Creek Cemetery.
Note: Joe’s father, Enoch Daniel, organized the Liberty Guards in 1845 and was the first Captain of the unit. He kept command until 1857 when the unit moved to Jones Creek. Bio courtesy of Lt Col Dick Cohan

Jesse Abraham DeLOACH, son of Ephriam DeLoach and Sarah Durrance, was born in Tattnall County, Georgia on 12 Mar 1816. He married Elizabeth Eleanor Smith (1824-1880). She was the daughter of William T. Smith and Rebecca T. (Newmans) Smith of the Antioch Community in Tattnall County. The Smith men that served in Troop D of the 5th Georgia Cavalry were her cousins. Jesse and Elizabeth owned 590 acres on Big Bull Creek that he bought in 1852.
In 1861 Jesse rode to Hinesville where he enlisted in the Liberty Independent Company known as the "Liberty Mounted Guards". This unit became Troop D of the 5th Georgia Cavalry on January 20, 1863. He served on sentry duty near Sunbury and at Fort McAllister in 1862 and part of 1863. As salt was in short supply the soldiers would distill sea water to obtain the salt. This process was usually done at night on the beach as Yankee boats patrolled the coast. One night their fire was spotted and they were fired upon. A Yankee bullet pierced a copper pot owned by Jesse, which is in the possession of H. Ray DeLoach of Savannah. Ray is his great great great grandson.
In Volume Seven of "Men of Mark in Georgia" it is stated that Jesse DeLoach "served under both General Johnston and General Hood in the Atlanta Campaign" and saw action in both North and South Carolina.
Jesse DeLoach was part of a group of men from Tattnall/Liberty County that swore an oath in 1862 to not shave their beards until the Confederacy had won the war. The Smith families were part of this group, also. Jesse DeLoach died in Tattnall County on April 15, 1874 with a long beard.
In late 1864, while Jesse was serving with the 5th Georgia, Sherman's men passed through Tattnall County on their "March To The Sea". Riders had warned the farms in the path of their approach. His sons, Henry age 13, George Wesley age 10, Elec age 9, and Manning age 8 took the cows and horses to hide them in the woods. Meanwhile, their mother and sister, Maryann age 12, hid silverware and food stuffs. The boys left a mare with a new colt in the barn as they had all they could manage and did not expect the soldiers to bother a newly delivered colt. After looting the house, the soldiers threw a rope around the neck of the mare, mounted their horses and proceeded down the dirt road. The last that was seen of the new colt, it was running down the road after the mare.
