CSA service and birth date of daughter Nancy Elizabeth Thrash in 1864
W.D.J. Thrash, was a member of Company C., 40th Alabama. Served during Siege of Vicksburg and battle of Missionary Ridge near Chattanooga. He was captured at Vicksburg, along with other southern soldiers, held for 7 days and released. Most of the soldiers
went home for a month are so before joining their units again. If you use the dates when Vicksburg fell and add about 10 months to it then that was about the time Nancy was born. Jackson received pay for 6 months service on 12/31/1863. This is the last record that we have on him, he never returned home. Died , April 1865 from wounds received in March 1865 at the battle of Bentonville In the Carolinas. At the battle of Bentonville, heavy casualties on both side, and there are 2 mass graves there. But by the
information on the pension it looks like he was wounded at Bentonville and died about 2 weeks later.

40th Alabama Infantry Regiment
This regiment was organized in May 1862 at Mobile, and remained there till December. It then moved to Vicksburg, and took part in the operations on Deer Creek. While in that region, it was brigaded with the Thirty-seventh, and Forty-second Alabama, and Second Texas, under Gen. Moore. Four companies were placed in Fort Pemberton, and were from there transferred to Gen. Bragg's army, and fought at Chicamauga. The other companies of the Fortieth were part of the garrison of Vicksburg, suffered severely, and were there captured. The regiment was united near Mission Ridge, and took part in that battle, and at Look-out Mountain, but with light loss. Having passed the winter at Dalton, where Gen. Baker took command of the brigade, the Fortieth took part in the campaign from there to Atlanta, losing largely, especially at New Hope. When the army marched back to Tennessee, in company with the other regiments of Baker's brigade, the Fortieth was sent to Mobile, and was on garrison duty there for some months. In January 1865, the regiment proceeded with the remainder of the army to North Carolina, and shared in the operations, fighting at Bentonville with severe loss. Consolidated with the Nineteenth and Forty-sixth, the Fortieth was shortly after surrendered at Yadkin River bridge.
