Pvt. Co. C, 21st Regiment, NCTroops, CSA
Azariah was a Confederate Soldier. He was killed in the Battle of Cold Harbor in the Civil War. Giles Whitaker, a neighbor of the Denny family and a chaplain in the Confederate Army, wrote Joel, Azariah's father, a letter, appropriately edged in black, about the tragedy. This letter was kept for many years in the David Denny family after Joel died. Whitaker's account revealed that Azariah had attempted to make a dash from one fence-rail barricade to another, but was shot down before he reached safety. This information is from the "Surry County Heritage Book, Vol. 1".
