From: Warren Gentzel,SUVCW in reply to my query on Daniel Shobbell.
Claude,
This is what I have on Daniel Shobbell.
Daniel Shobbell enlisted on 4/24/1861 into Co 'B' of the 17th Ohio Infantry Regimrnt at age 39 ( this was a 100 days unit ). He was discharged on 8/15/1861 at Camp Goddard, Zanesville, OH. On 8/31/1861, he mustered into Company 'D' of the 1st OVC ( Cavalry ). Daniel participated in over fifteen hard fought battles. Hoping to force the enemy out of Atlanta, General Sherman sent to brigades of Cavalry (including the 1st OVC ) under Gen. Judson Kilpatrick to raid Hood's lines of communication south of the city. Strong Confederate resistance at Lovejoy Station halts the raid and Kilpatrick is forced to return to Decatur leaving the killed and wounded on the field ( one being Daniel Shobbell ). Since they were behind enemy lines, it is assumed that the Confederates buried the Union dead and captured the wounded.... many of the captured were taken to Andersonville prison where not a few are buried.
Warren Gentzel, SUVCW
Siege of Atlanta: Lovejoy Station: South of Altanta, Georgia August 1864.
August 19th, 1864
August 19: Brig. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick (U.S.), with 4,700 troopers, strikes the Macon railroad at Jonesboro, 15 miles south of Atlanta. (Castel 47)
August 20: Battle at Lovejoy's Station -- While Confederate Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler was absent raiding Union supply lines from North Georgia to East Tennessee, Maj. Gen. William Sherman, unconcerned, sent Judson Kilpatrick to raid Rebel supply lines. Leaving on August 18, Kilpatrick hit the Atlanta & West Point Railroad that evening, tearing up a small area of tracks. Next, Kilpatrick headed for Lovejoy's Station on the Macon & Western Railroad. In transit, on the 19th, Kilpatrick's men hit the Jonesborough supply depot on the Macon & Western Railroad, burning great amounts of supplies. On the 20th, they reached Lovejoy's Station and began their destruction. Rebel infantry (Cleburne's Division) appeared and the raiders were forced to fight into the night, finally fleeing to prevent encirclement. Although Kilpatrick had destroyed supplies and track at Lovejoy's Station, the railroad line was back in operation in two days. (AMC)
