He married 175Sarah Melton on 19 December 1837 in Hancock County, Georgia.
By 1840 they had a baby boy. Also living in the house were two older women, perhaps a mother and grandmother, but their identities are unknown.
They were probably living modestly, since an 1840 tax digest shows that
His wife 175Sarah presumably died a few years later, since he remarried to Martha Ann Blount on 11 August 1846.
By 1860 they had relocated to Johnson County.
His farm is described in the 1860 agriculture schedule. The first page is copied below. The numbers represent: 55 improved acres, 71 unimproved acres, $350 value of farm, $30 of farming tools/machines, 1 horse, 1 milk cow, 2 work oxen, 1 other cattle, 26 pigs, $130 value of livestock, 25 bushels of wheat produced in the past year, and 100 bushels of Indian corn. The second page shows that he also produced sweet potatoes and beeswax and slaughtered animals, although the quantities are unclear.
The American Civil War began the following year. Officially,
The photograph below—taken early in the war, probably late summer 1861—shows four soldiers from company K of the 22nd Georgia.
After enlisting, his regiment trained at Camp McDonald in Kennesaw, Georgia (as it is now known) until about 1 November 1861.
We were ordered to Richmond, Va. We got on the train, I think, one morning. We stopped in Atlanta part of one day, and went where we pleased in the city. We left Atlanta in the evening, and traveled all night, got to Augusta over the Georgia R. R. early in the morning, and were treated to a good breakfast by the good ladies of Augusta. We left soon after breakfast over the Charleston and Augusta R. R., and went on that road to Branchville, S. C., and then changed to the Charleston and Charlotte railroad and went by way of Raleigh, N. C. We stopped there all night; next morning we got on the Raleigh & Weldon R. R. in North Carolina, got there about 12 noon, there they closed all the bar-rooms and eating houses against us, and doors of every sort; we could get nothing to eat or drink, and no place to stay. They would not furnish cars for us to get away from there. [...] Col. Jones and everybody else got mad. Col. Jones told the people who controlled the cars that if they did not furnish him cars to get away from there that he would turn his regiment loose on the place and tear it up. They were not long in getting cars ready for us to get away from there to go to Petersburg. Weldon was a sorry little town anyway, every one called it the most God-forsaken town there was to be found anywhere. [...] We left Weldon in the evening in some old box-cars and flats; stopping in Petersburg next morning, sta[ye]d there but a little while and left the same day for Richmond. We marched out to the Fair grounds outside the city north, we soon got our tents that we used at Big Shanty [i.e., Kennesaw], Ga., and put them up, and made ourselves as comfortable as we could.
The weather was getting cold. We had to have our fires out in the camp street to do our cooking, the wind would blow pretty hard, and we had nothing to burn but dry pine wood, so we dug pits the in ground about a foot deep, about three feet wide and five feet long, and had to cook our grub in the pits to keep the wind from blowing our fire away. When it rained we could not cook anything, as the pits would fill with water, but they gave us, part of the time, baker's bread when we could not cook, instead of flour, but we had to cook our beef as best we could, always boiling it in camp kettles made of sheet-iron; they would hold about four gallons. They had some paroled yankee prisoners who did the baking of the bread. Some of the men had a fuss, and tried to fight each other with their big knives, they were all ordered taken away from them, but they did not get them all as some of us hid our knives.
We were only at Richmond a short while, some two or three weeks, and were then ordered to Norfolk, Va. about Dec. 1st, went there by railroad, arriving there in the night, we were placed in the Norfolk armory building, and were put under guard on account of some of the men in the regiment getting drunk and cutting up. Col. Jones [the regiment's commander] was very strict, too strict for his own good, for he made many enemies among his men. We remained at Norfolk one day and night, and were then placed aboard a steamboat named Wm. Seldon, and were ferried across the river (the western branch of Elizabeth river which was between Norfolk and Portsmouth) to the navy yard, there we were placed in the mast house. We were on the Portsmouth side of the river. The mast house was a large two-story brick building, 400 (four hundred) feet long, for the purpose of building ship masts. We remained there for several days, ha[d] the privilege of going over the navy yards at will. [...]
From Portsmouth we moved out some three miles from the city into an old field grown up in pine trees and saplings, right at the head of the Dismal Swamp; it was rather a very muddy place, [...]

In another letter about a week later (15 June 1862), Stanley expresses some frustration about the progress of the war and about a lack of supplies.

The regiment participated in its first skirmishes in the last few days of June 1862. Judkins describes the regiment's experience at the Battle of Malvern Hill:
On the 1st day of July, about 8 o' clock P.M., We made a charge to try and take a battery on Malvern Hill; it was some 800 yards from where we were, but we could do nothing with it; the company and regiment going about 400 yards under a tremendous artillery fire, and had to fall back to the starting point in the hollow, [...] The enemy had a very strong position on the hill, with forty cannon, and one gatling gun. No army could have taken their position by charging, for their batteries were upon a high hill, [...] The roar of the bursting shells was deafening, and they were cutting off the tops of trees and limbs.
[We] went back that night some two miles, and came across Gen. Bob Toombs. He was giving rations to all of the Georgia soldiers that he could find, but a soldier from any other State he would not give anything. We got a supply of hard-tack and bacon, which we were greatly in need of, we had had little to eat for several days. General Toombs cut off the meat himself, and gave it out. After eating what we wanted of the raw bacon and hardtack we lay down in a pine thicket and went to sleep. It rained very hard that evening and all night. It seemed that it always rained a big rain just after a big battle.
[...] our Generals had too much whiskey aboard. It was said that General McGruder was drunk the day of the battle, before Stonewall Jackson got in position in the rear or flank, therefore defeat, and I know that General Armistead was drinking, for I was behind the same poplar tree that he was behind, when he took out a brandy bottle and took a long pull at it [...] The shelling was terrific at Malvern Hill; you could not hear a man talk ten steps away from the bursting of shells. [...] General Wright rallied the brigade, especially the 3rd Georgia, and started into another charge, saying that battery must be taken, but it was never taken. I started with them, but knowing how it was I came back. The fighting went on until after dark. I went up on the hill to look; the musketry looked like lightening bugs.
14
After Malvern Hill, the regiment marched for several weeks before the next battle. Judkins' memoirs for late August 1862:
We were then near Warrenton Springs on the Rappahanock river, had had no bread or any rations for fourteen days, we lived on green corn and green apples all of that time. I offered a man a dollar for one biscuit, and he would not let me have it. It got so we could not get green corn or apples, as they had all been eaten. It rained a good deal and we were all hungry. We would eat or try to eat anything we could get. I got hold of some beef lights and broiled them on the coals of fire, and tried to eat them, but it was no go, for they were so tough that I could not chew them. Well about 2 o' clock A.M. we got some flour, as the commissary had just brought in at that time, I got some of it and wet it up in a pint tin cup, without salt soda or lard, and put it in the hot ashes and cooked it; I thought it was the best bread I had ever eaten, after having none for fourteen days.
While at Brandy Station we discarded our tents and all of our surplus clothing, throwing away clothes that we could not carry,(winter clothes) on the march, for we did not have wagons to carry them. I do not know what became of the tents, that was the last we saw of them. We threw away good clothes that we needed afterwards. This was in August 1862. This was our first hard marching. We threw away everything but a change of underwear; we hated to do it, but could not help it.

At the Battle of Second Manassas, Anderson's division was held back so that it could be used as "fresh" reinforcements and therefore didn't fight until the evening of the last day (30 August 1862), around the time the Union forces began to retreat. Wright's brigade's position as of 5:00 PM is marked on the master map. An excerpt from Judkins' account of the battle:
[...] we rushed right on, not expecting to find the enemy so soon until we were in thirty yards of them. They were in line formed at bayonet charge, and fired a volley into us before we knew they were there, as it was late in the evening, and in a thick woods too.
14
In the following weeks, the regiment spent some time marching through Maryland, as Judkins describes:
We marched through several little towns in Maryland, names now forgotten, and through fine farms, and stopped at Frederick City, Md., on the Monocacy river, remained there one day and washed our clothes in the river, and put them on wet. We were trying to drown some of the lice of which we had plenty. We had not washed our clothes for about a month, and the bugs were getting unbearable. We blew up the railroad bridge at Frederick City [...] We dropped the center of bridge down into the river.
Like at Manassas, Anderson's division was again used as reinforcements during the Battle of Sharpsburg/Antietam on 17 September 1862, this time to reinforce A. P. Hill's division, which was under intense attack. Unfortunately, Anderson himself was soon wounded and had to leave the battlefield, and the resulting confusion left his division unable to provide much support for Hill. Regardless, Anderson's men were present for several hours of the brutal fighting that gave "Bloody Lane" its name. The division's general location is marked on the master map.
Although present at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862, the 22nd regiment was guarding a nearby ford and didn't have to fight.
After Fredericksburg, the regiment suffered through a cold winter, as Judkins describes:
The city was badly torn to pieces with shot and shells. Many of the boys were bare-footed that Winter. They took green cow hides and wrapped them around their feet. We had to stand picket above the city, going at 10 o' clock P. M., and staying until 10 o' clock P. M. the next night. It rained, sleeted and snowed and we had but little fire. We wrapped our blankets around us to keep from freezing and getting wet. When we got back to camp, wet and cold, and no fire hardly, we raked away the snow, spread down wet blankets on the frozen ground, covered with wet blankets and went to sleep. I awoke before day nearly frozen; taking my blanket by the edge it would stand up like a plank, it was frozen so hard and stiff. Some of the boys had made a little fire, and we got over and around it trying to get warm, which we did after awhile. [...]
We had no permanent winter quarters all of that winter, 62., but was on the march nearly all the time. [...] When near U. S. Ford it snowed to the depth of about a foot; we dug away the snow, and put up temporary tents of pine bushes covered with a blanket on top the bushes put up in wagoners style, and it snowed again that night on the snow to the depth of three feet. We had a rough time in the snow, no one had shelter [...]
The whole regiment was buried under the snow; Had to cut and carry wood about 200 yards through the snow. But we enjoyed ourselves having snow-ball battles, several got hurt, having arms broken and noses mashed. Some would throw lumps of ice. We had to dig breastworks at night, and it was very cold going to and from work, which was about two miles from our camp. [...]
We suffered badly with cold feet. We had a hard time all that winter, as we were on the march nearly all the time from place to place, and had to lay out just any old way, like a parcel of cows or hogs.

At the Battle of Chancellorsville, Wright's Brigade played a fairly important role early in the battle. The brigade detached from the rest of Anderson's division and was sent to flank a nearby Union regiment soon after the initial attack on the morning of 1 May 1863. Judkin's memoir describes watching a hotel that had been converted into a Union hospital catch fire, and many injured Union soldiers were burned alive.
Over the next two months, among other events the regiment passed by the aftermath of the Battle of Salem Church and lost some men when a transport boat sank while crossing the Potomac at Shepherdstown.
Now a prisoner of war,
While imprisoned at Fort Delaware,
After just two weeks at Fort Delaware,
Delaware County Republican, 24 July 1863: 'REBS.' Since our last issue, a large number of wounded rebel prisoners have arrived at the United States Army Hospital near this place, and the institution, we are told, is literally crowded with these people. A train of cars brought a lot on Friday, and several transport steamers have since landed their living freight at our wharves. One of these vessels, which reached here on Sunday, had on board seven hundred, only two or three hundred of whom found accommodations at the hospital. The remainder was taken to New York to be placed in a similar institution there. Language fails to describe the personal appearance of the genus rebel. Let the reader who has never seen a specimen of the tribe, imagine a crowd of miserable rag pickers or dock loafers, such as were, at one time, to be found, in small numbers, along the wharves of our seaport cities - dirty, filthy, ragged and infested with vermin - looking as devoid of animation as brutes, and he may form a faint idea of a gang of secesh, able to walk, as they appeared on their march through our streets to their destination. They are all of a dirty, clay color, and no two of them are dressed alike - some even being clad in the faded and torn cast off blouse of the Union soldier. The badly wounded are truly objects of compassion. Some of them are without legs, others minus an arm, while many are injured in the head and breast. A few - generally those who have been forced into the service - say they are tired of the war, assert their regard for the old flag, and declare they will never again fight for Jeff Davis, while others express a determination to go back to the rebel army as soon as they are exchanged. The officers, of whom there are a goodly number, are as respectable looking as the privates, and can only be distinguished by some mark, such as a chevron on their coat collars, or a tassel on their shocking bad hats. The prisoners are placed in the bath at the hospital, as soon as they arrive, cleansed as far as soap and water will cleanse them, and then dressed in Uncle Sam's clothing. A few days will transform them into some decency of appearance at least. Arrangements are being made to accommodate fifteen hundred of them at the institution.
21 Delaware County American, 5 August 1863: DYING OFF. - The rebels, who number some thirteen hundred, at the Upland Hospital, are dying off at the rate of ten to thirteen a day, and the deaths are said to be on the increase, from the fact that the diarrhea, which is of an inveterate character, has broken out among them. The hospital is in a crowded condition, and none but the worst cases having been brought there, the mortality among them may be expected to be great. Many of the worst are placed in tents in the adjoining lots, where they can have plenty of air, and where they will be removed somewhat from the influence of the obnoxious mass of putridity which exists in the wards. Those who die are placed in pine coffins, and buried in the RURAL CEMETERY, near Chester, where a lot has been set apart for them at so much per head. They are treated precisely as the Union soldiers. This is right. They are the victims of bad men, and while they are at our mercy as prisoners of war, it would be cowardly, and beneath the spirit and dignity of our people to use them indifferently or barbarously. We do not however, suppose our citizens are going to tax themselves to an infringement on the wants of the Union soldiers, nor that our ladies who on other occasions even vied with each other in their attentions at this Hospital, only to be insulted or treated with the coldest indifference, are now going to sacrifice their health, or endanger their lives among so much disease and filth which now exists there.

As previously noted,
Although the movie implies that the explosion occurred after sunrise, it actually occurred at 4:44 AM when many Confederate defenders were still asleep. The explosion woke up the men in Hall's brigade.
Another problem with the Cold Mountain scene is that although it briefly shows U. S. Colored Troops, it doesn't convey how strongly their presence enraged and energized the Confederates. The Crater was the first battle in which Lee's infantry fought U.S.C.T. in large numbers. While waiting for Hall's brigade to get into position, Mahone told the rest of his division that they would be fighting negroes and to take no prisoners, along with other words of more general encouragement.
Although the circumstances that day were mostly favorable to the Confederates, the attack by Hall's brigade ended in failure, and
[...] Mahone made his way back to the shallow ravine where Hall's Georgia brigade was gathering. The division leader relayed his instructions for the coming attack. Matthew Robert Hall was a twenty-seven-year-old officer [...] Relatively new to brigade command, he readied his 370 men and moved out of the ravine about 10 A.M.
The Virginians opened fire from the reclaimed works north of the crater to support Hall's advance. This did not prevent the Federals, who were protected by the lip of the crater, from laying down a withering fire at the Georgians. The infantry lined the rim; some of them had stockpiled several loaded weapons nearby for rapid firing. [...]
The effect of this fire was decisive. Hall's men wavered, broke ranks, managed to close them again, but in the end veered north to escape the hail of gunfire. Instead of heading directly for the crater, Hall's troops duplicated the line of attack by Weisiger's brigade, crowding into the reclaimed works north of the hole. Some Georgians turned and retired to the shallow ravine, while others on Hall's extreme right flank entered the cavalier behind the crater and gave themselves up to the few Federals who occupied that trench. Some of Hall's men cowered at the foot of the cavalier. [...]
Hall's attack was nearly a complete failure. It is possible that he occupied some of the forty yards or so of Confederate works immediately north of the crater that Weisiger's men had not taken, but that was far from a decisive close of the battle. [...]
[...] William Etheredge of the 41st Virginia claimed Hall's men stopped during their advance to fire a volley and re-form their ranks, neutralizing the momentum of their advance. Lee and Beauregard witnessed the attack from the Gee House and thought it was a sudden, snap movement that was ill prepared. After witnessing its result, the two commanders grew very worried because they knew how few reserves were available to try another attack.

In a separate book, Hess describes the burial of the dead:
The first task for the Confederates after the fightning ended was to clear out the works. This was a gruesome job, for the crater, the trenches north and south, and the maze of bombproofs were littered with bodies. One observer noted a spot in the crater where the dead were eight deep. The bottom was layered with mangled men," recalled William H. Stewart; "the dead trimmed the sides. ... It was a veritable inferno filled with sounds of suffering and paved with the rigid dead."
Lt. Thomas Smith of the 16th Virginia superintended the burial of the dead inside the crater. He counted 177 bodies; about 20 percent were blacks, and the rest were equally divided between white Unionists and Confederates. The Confederates rolled the dead down the sides to the bottom and shoveled dirt onto them from the walls. When those who died in the mine explosion were added, estimates of the number of men buried in the crater varied from 200 to 300. Black prisoners were forced to dig a burial trench just to the rear of the crater to inter the dead lying in the rest of the recaptured works.
[...] Officers arranged [a truce] for 5:00 AM of August 1 [...] They established a picket line down the middle of no-man's-land. The Confederates moved dead and wounded Yankees up to that line and delivered them into Union hands, while the Federals ranged freely on their side of the line. [...] The Federals recovered only about twenty wounded who were still alive, and they buried at least 220 dead by 11:00 AM. Many of the latter were so mangled by artillery fire that they literally lay in fragments. The burning sun had turned other bodies into "a swollen and putrifying mass, unrecognizable." Blacks were buried with whites, and the Confederates found twelve of their comrades lying dead between the lines, probably prisoners who had been caught in the crossfire while trying to reach Union lines.
31
After the war, tens of thousands of the dead from the Petersburg campaign—including from the Crater area—were exhumed and reinterred elsewhere. Confederates were almost always reburied in unmarked, unidentified graves in a special section of nearby Blandford Cemetery. The entrance to Blandford's Confederate section is at N37.22690 W77.38475 and is marked by an impressive arch, shown below.
