Shackelford, John N.L., b: 1830 Hydrulic Mills, Fluvanna Co., VA. He was stationed at Stephens Depot Dec. 3, 1864, Co. E, 12th Infrantry WV. a Private. The 1850 Lewis Co., VA/WV census has him listed and a farmer living in his parents home.
from "The Shackelford Quarterly" for July '94, P. 155:
"Roster of Confederate Soldiers of GA," Vol. 3, Henderson, L., 1960: Muster Roll of Co., GA, 34th Regiment, GA Volunteer Infantry, Army of Tenn. CSA, Franklin Co., GA (also known as Co. C):
SHACKELFORD, Mordecai - Private, 12 May 1862. On furlough 16 May 1862. No later record in this Co. Enlisted as Private in Co. B, 1st Regiment. GA State Troops, 30 Dec. 1862. Detailed Cavalry Scout, 31 March 1864. Discharged, permanent disability at Savannah, GA, 14 July 1864.
This was all copied several years ago, but I think that the following was also on P. 155. Mordecai, the Confederate soldier, appears to have been the son of Robert & Elizabeth SHACKELFORD and to have married Mary C. MORRIS on 29 Jan. 1856 in GA.
Earlier, I emailed The Atlanta History Center to find out if they have a list of Atlantans who were in the Confederate Army, asking particularly about my ancestor:
Henry Patrick ("Pat") SHACKELFORD s/o Stephen Jones & Melissa (Lewis) SHACKELFORD
He served as a musician & composer; I've heard that he was in either the Atlanta Blues or Grays.
Shackelford, Fountain G. Corporal, 36th Va Infantry. He was from Nicholas Co. WV.

Harvey Underwood Shackelford served in the Civil War. His obituary states "Although only a lad of fifteen years at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted soon after he had passed his 18th birthday and on August 7, 1863 he was mustered into Company C of the 48th Regiment of Kentucky mounted infantry with which he served until honorably discharged December 15, 1864."
