William H. Judkins, student 1857-1861

Judkins enlisted in 1861 as a private in Co. H of the 5th VA Cavalry, which eventually became Co. A of the 13th VA Cavalry. Conflicting enlistment dates in his records of August, October, and November make it unclear as to his exact date of enrollment. He was hospitalized at Chimborazo in Richmond, VA in November 1862 with acute diarrhea, and was at Chimborazo again in December 1863 with pneumonia.

Judkins returned to Southampton County, VA where he died in mid-October 1874.
