He helped found the Barnett chapel and cemetery, on Fishers ridge near Liberty, Putnam County WV. James Harvey Nuckles went out for a bread, and never came back for 4 years after the war. Joining the 8th Calvary Sept. 1, 1861 as a Blacksmith. On the night of Nov. 10, 1861 Jenkins with 700 men made a surprise attack upon the regiment of the 9th WV infantry. Of the 150 men, only those escaped who fled or conceded themselves at the outset and Gen. Albert G. Jenkins cap-tured all their papers rolls, books, etc. Aug. and Sept. of 1862, Gen. Jenkins performed his most brilliant military exploit, a raid into western Vir-ginia and Ohio. Major general William W. Loring sent him out with his orders and 550 cavalrymen, ordered to sweep around the northwest by the Cheat Valley, and destroyed the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and fall upon the rear of the enemy in the Kanawha Valley about Sept. 8. Gen. Jenkins left the salt Sulphur Springs in Mon-roe Co. Aug. 22, 1862. Marched through the Great Sewell settlement of Pocahontas Co., over the mountain, and down the headwaters of Tygarts river valley. He had expected to surprise Beverly, but hearing that it had been heavily reinforced, the General decided not to make the attack. They had a brief encounter with the enemy at Huntsville, where 6 union scouts were cap-tured. They crossed Rich Mountain by a trail leading through 30 miles of wilderness. Gen. Jenkins finally emerged with speed and entered the Buckhannon River valley. Gen. Jenkins 8th Calvary took Buckhannon, where several thousand small arms were took. After taking the town my great great grandfather James Har-vey Nuckles and the rest of the 8th VA Calvary cast

aside their shotguns, and armed themselves with hand-some new rifles and otherwise supplied the units with supplies and horses (fresh ones). They arrived in Wes-ton WVa on August 31, 1862, the 6th West Virginia rest. escaped into the fog, leaving only a few men. They destroyed all the public property and the telegraph of-fice. They captured Glenville on Sept. 1, 1862 and from which he drove the Federal guard with a single round of fire (at Buckhannon they destroyed the remain-der of 5000 stands of arms and ordinance stores, and clothing in large quantities) on Sept. 2, at Spencer court house Roane Co. they surprised and captured colonel J.C. Rathbone and his entire command, the eleventh WV regiment. The General paroled his prisoners and rode on to Ropley W.Va. There he found a defenseless pay-master from whom he took funds to the amount of $5525. Here great great grandfather, searching for mounts came up on the place he settled later, The town of Given Jackson Co W.Va. just outside Ripley, he fell in love with this land. Moving with his men on to Ra-venswood he rested his men there and on the evening of September 4 forded the Ohio River with approx. 200 men (including my g.g. grandpa J.H. Nuckles) he sent the rest to Pt. Pleasant. Gen. Jenkins account- "The ex-citement as we approached the Ohio shores was intense, and their anxiety to be the first of the companies to reach the soil of the invaders all order was lost and it became a race to the shoals. In a short time all were over, and the command reformed on the crest of a gentle eminence and the banners of the southern confederacy floated over the soil of the invaders. As the flag un-furled in the splendors of an evening sun, cheers on cheers rose up from the men, enthusiasm was at a high pitch. We then rode toward Racine Ohio. The people along the road begged for their homes to be spared from the horrors of warfare." The General assured the people that many of his soldiers were homeless and their fami-lies in exile, because of such warfare in VA. But we are not barbarians but a civilized people. The men were amazed at the scattered support they received from the local residents for the southern cause. The southern cavalry arrived in Racine Ohio by 9 in the evening, and captured the town, along with arms, supplies, and a few federal and home guards. The only casualties, was when they shot a deaf and dumb man, who could not hear an order to halt. He died, 2 others wounded. After taking about 25 horses, the Rebels treed to re-cross the Ohio river at Wolf's bar below Racine. A union sympa-thizer may have tried to drown the Confederates by

Pleasant, ending the day long raid into Ohio. 10 months later Gen. Morgan would lead the sec-ond and final Confederate invasion of Ohio. Gen. Jenkins took pride in treating the citizens with consideration. Gen. Loring pronounced the expedition a great success. They destroyed most of the railroad (B & O) had marched over 500 miles mostly in hostile lines and captured and paroled 300 prisoners of war; a 1000 enemy casualties, reclaimed of 40 thousand square miles of territory for the Confederate government, destruction of many guard Garrisons and the records of Wheeling and federal Gov. seizure and destruction of over 5000 stands of small arms, 1 canon, and lots of stores, and ad-vance of over 20 miles into Ohio, where humane war-fare won many people to the confederacy.

Today, despite neglect, this hall-parlor style house has retained much of the original wood-work, wainscoting and chair rails on the first floor and still has beautifully carved mantels. The basement and foundations are of Roman style stone masonry and the chimneys feature scored stonework on the exterior. Dr. Davis B Wyatt bought the property from the heirs of Myrtle Gordon in 1980 and he is presently re-storing the house. Reprinted with permission Copywrite 1983 Hanover County Historical So-ciety Wadsworth Publishing Co

The house at Springfield Farm was built around 1825 by William H Nuckols and his wife Eliza S. Cocke Nuckols. It is located on

Route 611 between Rockville and Vontay and originally contained 360 acres, which sloped down to Mill Creek. The will of Eliza Nuckols was probated September 14, 1881 in Hanover County. The ownership of the farm passed to her son, R Julian Nuckols, and wife Ida Belle, and after his death, to his children. This wife, the will stated, had done a fine job managing Springfield and should remain doing so. By November 1900, the property had passed to Mary Olivia Nuckols Hope, wife of T B Hope, through Mary 's father Julian and brother, Cla-rence. Hanover County Will Book Four shows that Mary Hope left the dwelling and 50 acres to her niece, Myrtle Gordon, in 1936.
