When Woodman Stockley Sidbury was born and given the family names of his great grandparents, Woodman and Elizabeth Stockley Sidbury, his father Stockley L Sidbury was 40 and mother, Agnes Barlow or Aggy was 32. Born at Topsail Sound, North Carolina, he was named in his father’s will to share equally the property, with his other four siblings. Woodman married his neighbor Nancy Nixon. They named their first son Woodman Stockley Sidbury Jr. He would only live to be four years dying in 1843. Hannah C was born in 1841, a boy they named James Nixon Sidbury was born in 1843. James Nixon was called a patriot soldier in his obituary, found in The Daily Journal, Wilmington, NC paper. It says that he fought for liberty, for freedom bled. At Richmond he was wounded, and would come home to die in his father’s residence on Topsail Sound, July 26, 1862.

The deceased boy, was a member of Co. G, 18th Regt. NC. Only 19, James, was an open hearted boy and a brave soldier. It must be some consolation to the grief stricken parents that he could not have been given to a better cause. The family supported the Confederates. A baby daughter, named A.O. wouldn’t live long, only two months, in 1845. Henrietta was born in 1847 and both she and Hannah would marry the neighbor King’s boys. Another son was born in 1853 named Franklin Pierce, Ivey William in 1855 and Charles William in 1860. It was in the middle of the Civil War 1863, that Stonewall Jackson Sidbury was born, January 6, 1863, named after a Confederate general considered one of the most gifted tactical commanders. The Civil War brought crushing inflation and deflating of the Confederate currency. The following story tells of the death of the father, leaving some very young children, whose mother Nancy would also die later that fall, November 26, 1866 at only age 46.

The Daily Progress (Raleigh, NC), April 1, 1864 (Friday)

An Attempted Highway Robbery — An attempt of highway robbery and murder was made upon the person of an old gentleman, Mr. Woodman Sidbury, on Saturday last, while he was on his way from Wilmington to his home on Topsail Sound. It appears that two men in soldier’s uniforms, accosted him in the public road, and demanded his money, which he refused to give up when the fiends struck him several blows on the head with a club, thereby stunning him very severely and rendering him insensible. From some cause the culprits ceased their operations on the old gentleman without getting his money. He was still in his buggy insensible, and when he came to his senses, he found that his horse had carried him near to a neighbor’s on the sound. He then succeeded in getting home, where his wounds were dressed. Mr. Sidbury is in a very critical situation, and there is considerable doubt of his recovery. We presume the matter will be fully investigated. We learn Mr. S can identify the men. Mr. Sidbury is quite an old and feeble man, and it is a great wonder that he got home after having received at least four blows on his head with a club. The parties engaged in the outrage had first ascertained that he had no weapons. Their leaving him without consummating their purposes is, no doubt, due to their hearing some noise and fearing that someone was coming. — Wil. Journal
