Jacob (Jake) Loudermilk (b. 11-6-1814, d. 6-18-1898, m. 2-27-1834)
born in Buncombe County, NC; came to Georgia in 1831 with his father;
buried at Hazel Creek Church cemetery. Jake died at the age of 83 after

the Civil War, Jacob and five of his sons served in the Confederacy. Jacob
served in the Georgia Militia, 31st Senatorial District #752, joining at age 50
on December 14, 1863 in Habersham County. The enrollment list states that
he was a tanner by trade. It is
told by those that remember that when Jake became ill, never to leave his room
again, he had his room (16 x 16) papered with $100 Confederate bills. For
years he had kept this old paper money stuffed in a tin trunk, but he realized
he would never live to see this paper turned into gold again. He wanted to
spend his last days surrounded by luxury in the luxury that might have been. His
youngest child, Annie, spoke of her father as being very tall and legend says
about 7' and that he had a long beard. Jacob was 76 when she was born and
died when she was 9 years old.

Company C Phillip's Georgia Legion; he was later captured at Knoxville,
Tennessee on December 3, 1863 and spent one year and eight months in the prison
in Rock Island, Illinois under the name Raven Loudermilk. It has been told
through family tradition, that Henry believed if a soldier was captured twice,
after being exchanged the first time, he would be shot; so he changed his name
to avoid any chance of being shot. By the time he was released on June 19, 1865, after taking the Oath of
Allegiance, he was a Corporal and twenty four years old. Oath shows him to
be 5'9" with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He is buried at Hazel Creek

are many mansions."
