My Confederate Army Heritage
by Olivia McCollum
Both of my fraternal grandparents are descendants of two Confederate Army officers. First, my grandmother, Georgia Jackson, is related to the famous Confederate Army General, T.J. “Stonewall” Jackson. His great grandfather is from Ireland. When they came to America the family settled in West Virginia and later travelled to Texas. General Jackson served during the American Civil War from 1861-1863. He was mortally wounded in 1863.
My grandfather, Charles Welhausen, is related to Confederate Army Captain, Charles Welhausen. Captain Welhausen’s family came from Hanover, Germany and settled in Fayette County, Texas. He set up his own saddle shop. He served in the American Civil War from 1861-1865 as Captain of the Creuzbauer Battery, Fifth Texas Artillery division. This was made up of all German soldiers. After the war, Captain Welhausen returned to Fayette County, Texas and resumed making saddles and starting a family.
The famous last words of General “Stonewall” Jackson, “Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of trees.” I am sure that after all the blood and death these two leaders saw during the war, a nice shade tree seemed very inviting.
