Alfred and Melinda Jones Apperson had a small farm located near Flat Run that is now part of Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove, Va. Some of their neighbors were James B and Catherine Battaile Dempsey, my 3rd G grandparents, to their west, John R Spotswood to their north and East, and Henry D Roach to their South.
Alfred Apperson was the son of Peter Apperson, 1759 – 1834 and Frances Lobb, 1763 – 1835. Alfred and Melinda were married in Orange County on 3 Sept 1836. Alfred's father served in the Revolutionary War with Malinda's grandfather and my 4th G grandfather, James Jones, 1759 – 1841 of Burr Hill, Orange, County, Va.
Their son, Dr John Samuel Apperson served as hospital steward under Harvey Black in the 4th Virginia, 1st Brigade, known as the Stonewall Brigade. In late 1862, Black was appointed surgeon of the field hospital of the Second Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, and brought Apperson with him. Both served in this hospital until the end of the war. John kept a journal during the war which goes into much detail about his adventures and those of friends and family.
John Apperson's Civil War diary also contains Apperson's account of his journal, in 1859, from his home in Locust Grove, Virginia to Smyth County in Southwest Virginia. In the Civil War diaries, he describes medical care of soldiers and lists monthly figures of wounded and dead for the Second Corps field hospital. He also describes going onto the battlefield after the fighting stopped at First Manassas, the scene on the morning of the Battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862; performing his first amputation, and his efforts to continue his medical education during the Civil War and of life in Caroline County while Jackson's Corp spent the winter at Moss Neck in '62.
