His parents were James and Sarah J. Heizer and he had at least three siblings. Prior to the Civil War, he lived on his family's farm and worked as laborer. On April 19, 1861, Frank enlisted as a private in Company I, 14th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry and McClanahan's Battery. Alongside details of Frank's military service, this collection details the relationship between Frank and his longtime friend and love interest, Pheobe Ann McCormick (1845-1906). Pheobe Ann(e) McCormick (also known as Annie) was born in Augusta County, Va., in 1845. ","The pair's first engagement took place on April 18, 1864, when Frank revealed his feelings to Pheobe in a letter. A year later, the pair broke their engagement on August 10, 1865, based on Frank's \"wishes to be released\" so that he could freely pursue a career as a student and later, a traveling artist. The pair kept in touch through the years and eventually reconciled on January 21, 1867, re-establishing their engagement. ","In a letter dated January 22, 1867, Pheobe accepted Frank's second proposal by stating: \"I feel that I can't trust myself to write you a long letter now but will give you the reply that Gen'l Jackson sent to Santa Anna. 'If he wants me, let him come and take me.'\" The pair married on February 21, 1867. ","By 1870, Frank and Pheobe were living in Augusta County and they had the first of their children.

Evelyn) (1878-1960); Willie (abt. 1877-?); James W. (married Lillian Holt) (1880-1945); Robert E. (1882-?); Francis P. (1887-?). ","In 1880, the family was still in Augusta County and Frank's occupation on the census was listed as \"farmer.\" By 1900, they had relocated to Buena Vista and Frank was working as a carpenter. Pheobe died in 1906, at the age of 61. James lived another 24 years and his daughter Frances continued to live with him. By 1920, Frank was working as a commissioner of revenue at the court house in Buena Vista. He died in 1930, at the age of 88. Both he and Phoebe are buried in Buena Vista, along with two of their children.

His parents were James and Sarah J. Heizer and he had at least three siblings. Prior to the Civil War, he lived on his family's farm and worked as laborer. On April 19, 1861, Frank enlisted as a private in Company I, 14th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry and McClanahan's Battery. Alongside details of Frank's military service, this collection details the relationship between Frank and his longtime friend and love interest, Pheobe Ann McCormick (1845-1906). Pheobe Ann(e) McCormick (also known as Annie) was born in Augusta County, Va., in 1845. ","The pair's first engagement took place on April 18, 1864, when Frank revealed his feelings to Pheobe in a letter. A year later, the pair broke their engagement on August 10, 1865, based on Frank's \"wishes to be released\" so that he could freely pursue a career as a student and later, a traveling artist. The pair kept in touch through the years and eventually reconciled on January 21, 1867, re-establishing their engagement. ","In a letter dated January 22, 1867, Pheobe accepted Frank's second proposal by stating: \"I feel that I can't trust myself to write you a long letter now but will give you the reply that Gen'l Jackson sent to Santa Anna. 'If he wants me, let him come and take me.'\" The pair married on February 21, 1867. ","By 1870, Frank and Pheobe were living in Augusta County and they had the first of their children.

Evelyn) (1878-1960); Willie (abt. 1877-?); James W. (married Lillian Holt) (1880-1945); Robert E. (1882-?); Francis P. (1887-?). ","In 1880, the family was still in Augusta County and Frank's occupation on the census was listed as \"farmer.\" By 1900, they had relocated to Buena Vista and Frank was working as a carpenter. Pheobe died in 1906, at the age of 61. James lived another 24 years and his daughter Frances continued to live with him. By 1920, Frank was working as a commissioner of revenue at the court house in Buena Vista. He died in 1930, at the age of 88.

Would it not be well to have him join you with his Company armed with muskets \u0026 his artillery could follow him. Capt. Morrison's Co. is also here from Rockbridge --it can be ready in a few days.

Jackson, Commanding Greenbrier River","General, \nI have purchased some 8000 bushels of corn, knowing your want am sending it forward rapidly, together with company supplies of all sorts. Major Corly [Corby] the quarter Master for the north west being stationed off your line at Hardy [V_] the business in that Department from some cause is badly arranged on the Monterey line, for instance I have sent out thousands of bags with grain \u0026 c \u0026 not one has ever been returned for supplies. I have again been compelled to commence the impressments of wagons \u0026 pledge the farmers that their teams shall only be kept one trip. My object in writing to you direct, is to ask the favor of you to direct the return of all the bags \u0026 also all the wagons \u0026 teams that can be spared. I will return them immediately with corn \u0026 oats for the horses, which you so much need. Col. J. B. Baldwin also wishes grain \u0026 c. sent to the Petersburg Line. With your aid I trust I will be able to keep both lines well supplied, but it is a matter of utmost importance that there should be a prompt return of any spare wagon, empty bags \u0026 c \u0026 c. Teams are of little use when feed cannot be supplied. With great consideration and respect I am,  \nYour Obt. Servt., M. G. Harman. Major Comdg \u0026 c.","I have almost exhausted this country in the way of horses \u0026 wagons \u0026 purchased nearly all that was for sale \u0026 impressing the farmer's teams for one trip only. You will do me the favor to see that my promises are complied with \u0026 not kept but one trip as this will enable me to make all our people do their part of the transportation. I am very sorry General to trouble your with these matters, but I am unable to manage the transportation without your assistance. I sent out yesterday 25 wagons \u0026 today 26 wagons loaded with corn and company supplies","Confederate States of America \nHead Quarters Forces at Staunton, Va. \nOctober 10, 1861","Genl. H. R. Jackson \nCommanding on Monterey Line","General- \nYour letter by yesterday's express came to hand, \u0026 I have ordered \u0026 designated 13 four horse wagons \u0026 teams \u0026 two (two) horse teams \u0026 wagons to be turned over to do the transportation from Monterey to Greenbrier River. Would it not be well to take only 10 of these teams for the present until a good stock of grain \u0026 hay can be gotten out, or whenever you can spare the train let the whole train come in for a load of grain \u0026 hay.","You may depend upon it General that the Quarter Masters Department in the North West never can be managed with system \u0026 regularity until first rate business \u0026 experienced men are commissioned \u0026 placed at the important points on the line, \u0026 when commissioning they give security. Money can be drawn by them \u0026 many supplies purchased. Whereas when men are only occupying the place of assistants they are powerless \u0026 they probably never see their principal once in two months. Unless this Department is thoroughly organized on the different lines the Army must suffer greatly in the coming winter. You can judge of it by what your division has already suffered. I know you have enough to do without attending to these details.","I expect to join my regiment in 8 or 10 days \u0026 hope to get the Department in working order in your line before I left. I hope you will write a letter to the Secretary of War on the subject. I have placed Capt. Funkhouser on the road in charge of the Pony Express line \u0026 Capt Mason in charge of the repairs to the road, and a good business man is needed in the Quarter Masters Dept at Monterey whose duty should be to purchase all the supplies of forage \u0026 c \u0026 also see to the proper management of the wagons, horses \u0026 c, and also to have repair shops, blacksmith \u0026 wood shops at that point. I have written [illegible] my views \u0026 I recd. a letter from General Lee yesterday which I enclosed to the Secretary of War stating the great difficulty about transportation on that line. I have urged this most important matter upon the War Department \u0026 if you concur with me hope you will urge it also. Would it not be well to have a commissioned Quarter Master at Greenbrier River also. \nI am very respectfully \nM. G. Harman, Major Commanding","P.S. J. Whitmore the wagon master in charge of the train of 15 wagons [turned] over [cars] [illegible] with the trains. \u0026 if you should order it in for corn \u0026 hay he is acquainted with this country.","Confederate States of America \nHead Quarters Forces at Staunton, Va. \nOctober 20th, 1861","Genl. H. R. Jackson \nCommanding on Monterey Line \nGreenbrier River","General- \nYour letter in regard to horses unfit for service is at hand. When I wrote to you in regard to them I understood many horses were turned out as unfit for use. If the number that ought to be changed can be reported to me I will send out horses to take the places of those unfit for service.","On Thursday last I sent 7 loads of corn (4 horse) to Monterey. This morning 4 four horse loads of corn \u0026 Saturday 7 two horse wagons of Capt. Miller's [Battery] with corn \u0026 tomorrow morning I start twenty four horse wagon loads of corn \u0026 10 loads of clothing marked to Maj. J. L. Corley. I write to Capt. P. B. Hoge the Quarter master at Monterey if you desire it \u0026 direct him to do so although the corn is invoiced to Monterey to send it through without unloading to Greenbrier River. Col. Scott who is now in my office says he does not think 20 loads of corn can be stored at Greenbrier River. Please advise Capt. Hoge what you wish done by express.","Yesterday a train of wagons loaded with corn was started from the county of Rockingham to Monterey. It is most important the bags should be returned to us \u0026 for that reason if there is not room to store the corn at the River I wish it stopped at Monterey. I hope you will not think me troublesome in writing to you about these details, but there has been so much mismanagement I think it is best to communicate with you direct until I get all in good order.","There are now 1000 men in the Hospital here and it is too much crowded. Surgeon Boatwright informs me he has 250 men on the road to this place. I have recommended to the Surgeon General to authorize me to contract for the use of the Rockbridge Baths 9 miles from the Central Rail Road \u0026 will accommodate 300, and also to contract for Stribling Springs provided we need them \u0026 I feel confident we will need both in less than 10 days. \nVery Respectfully \nYour Obedient Servant \nM.
