Samuel Garland, Jr.
Samuel Garland, Jr., (December 16, 1830 – September 14, 1862) was an American attorney from Virginia and Confederate general during the American Civil War. He was killed in action during the Maryland Campaign while defending Fox's Gap at the Battle of South Mountain.
==Early life and career==
The grandnephew of James Madison, Garland was born in Lynchburg, Virginia. His father, Samuel Garland, Sr., was a well known attorney, but died when his son was only five years old. His uncle, John Garland, was a general that fought in many different wars including, the War of 1812, Seminole Wars, Mexican-American War, Utah War and very briefly in the American Civil War on the side of the union. Garland graduated third in his class from the Virginia Military Institute where he organized its first literary society. He completed law school at the University of Virginia when he was twenty. He married in 1856 to Elizabeth Campbell Meem and fathered one child, a son also named Samuel. Garland practiced law in Lynchburg and helped organize a militia company, the "Lynchburg Home Guard," and was elected as their captain. He also lectured on natural law at Lynchburg College.
He continued as an attorney until his home state seceded from the Union in the spring of 1861. The company soon joined others to form the 11th Virginia Infantry, and Garland was commissioned as the regiment's colonel. However, personal tragedy soon struck, as on June 12, 1861, his wife died, and on July 31, 1861, Garland's four year old son Sammie would also succumb to the flu. Garland's wife and son were buried side by side in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia.
