Private J.D. Payne died Dec 1861 Fredericksburg
Hello! Hope someone can help resolve these dates. Private Jacob Douthard Payne (1st North Carolina Infantry, Co, B under Capt. Brown) died Dec. 21, 1861 in Fredericksburg at a hospital there (according to military records from National Archives). He died "in service and in the line of duty ..." at age 20. There are documents dated from May and Sept 1862 from his father getting his back pay of $18.70. My problem is that the Battle of Fredericksburg occurred Dec. 13, 1862. Does anyone have any record of action taking place in Fredericksburg in Dec. 1861? I appreciate any help. Thanks. Sincerely, Barbara Estabrook
