There is a copy of an interesting document in the Washington County Historical Society. It is a Confederate parol document which requires that Jackson Dawalt not take up arms again against the Confederate States. It was signed about two years before the above letters. It is strange that he signed with an "x" when it is clear from the above letters that he can write.

Richmond Sept 2nd 1862
Jackson Dawalt ?? Co. F 66th Reg Ind Vols a prisoner of war, captured by the Confederate troops under GENERAL KIRBY SMITH, and this day paroled, do solemnly swear that I will not take arms against the Confederate States, that I will neither give aid nor comfort to the enemies thereof, nor communicate any military information to them, until duly exchanged according to the usages of war. The violation of this parol will be punished with death

Note from Janet Wise
At Rome, Georgia, Jackson Dawalt was buried in a cemetery set up for the hospital there, just West of town (old town). I found his name in the hand-written records of the men buried at Rome, Georgia. who were removed to the Marietta National Cemetery in Marietta, Georgia. That cemetery had 20 rows, 460 graves in all. They marked the graves with what they called headboards, made of wood. In the hospital cemeteries, they were buried in order of death. The men were re-interred at Marietta National Cemetery a couple of years after the war. Even there, they were marked with wooden headboards. It was much later (around 1880?) that the graves were marked with stones.

I take the present opportunity to answer your very acceptable letter which I received some time ago but have neglected to reply until now we are all well as usual and hope when this reaches you it will find you enjoying the same good health. You say the folks are all getting Married around you and you are to wait and See who is left for you. Now my advice to you would be to pitch in while they are going go it while you are young for when you get old you cant go it any more
You wished to know when I was going to marry. You have asked a question which I cant answer my self. It may be in two months or it may be twenty years for what I know. But Ill keep you posted up on the matter
You say you have peaches back and that is a luxury which we do not enjoy here unless they are brought here Missouri or Illinois

Ever your Cousin
Mary J Davalt Jane Trueblood

Note: I think Anna Jane Trueblood and Mary J. Dawalt, although close in age, were first cousins, once removed. I believe that Mary J. Dawalt’s maternal grandmother, Ann Whitbee (or Whidbee), was the sister to Mary Polly Whitbee. Mary Polly Whitbee was born 29 December 1803 in North Carolina. On 18 December 1824, in Washington County, Indiana she married William Trueblood. (Mary Whitbee was William’s second wife.) William and Mary had seven children of their own, the last being Anna Jane Trueblood born 28 December 1842 in Blue River, Washington County, Indiana. The Trueblood family moved to Henry County, Iowa. Both of Anna Jane Trueblood’s parents are buried there. Anna Jane Trueblood married Samuel Hocket on 22 March 1866. Mary J. Dawalt married Mathew P. Sill on 11 April 1866. These letters were found in the Daniel Dawalt collection of letters at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky.

Sarah Thompson
To Dan Dawalt
wright soon

Note: In the 1860 Census for Elmwood, Peoria Co., Illinois, there is a Sarah Thompson (age 17, b. Iowa), living with parents Elijah (age 50, b. Ohio) and Elizabeth (age 34, b. Iowa). Also in the census were Sarah’s siblings Esther (age 14, B. Iowa), John (age 11, b. Iowa), Julia (age 9, b. Iowa), Jane (age 7, b. Iowa) and Josephine (age 2, born Illinois). Given Sarah’s age and the fact that she mentions “sister Mary”, I think Sarah was writing to Dan Dawalt, Jr. I have no idea how Sarah Thompson came to know the Dawalts. This letter was found in the collection of Daniel Dawalt. Sr. letters in the Filson Historical Society, Louisville, KY.

His parents were Sarah Tatlock and Daniel Dawalt. Sarah was born August 14, 1816; Daniel was born July 8, 1812. The marriage occurred February 11, 1836. The Dawalt family is descended from Henrich Dewalt, the pioneer of one branch of the family that came to America. He was born in Palatinate County along the Rhine on April 10, 1745, and was one of the representatives of German people who accepted the invitation of William Penn to cross the ocean and take up their abode in the Province of Pennsylvania. The original family, however, was from France and were descendants of Baron De Vaulx from Lorraine. Henrich Dewalt served under General George Washington in the Revolutionary War. His descendant, Henry Dawalt, Sr. built the third house in Salem in 1801.
