James Washington Ervin married Ann Caroline Jennings (1818-1860). Their son, Artemas Jennings (A.J) Ervin, was a hero in the War Between the States and lived in Crawford, Mississippi. Artemas was named for his uncle, Artemas Ervin, who died in 1850 when he was about 18 months old. A. J. Ervin was a state senator and planter; he is buried at Crawford Oak Limb Cemetery. Artemus served in the Prairie Guard, Company E, 11th Mississippi Regiment Volunteers, Davis’ Mississippi Brigade, Heath’s Division, A. P. Hill’s Corps, Army of Northern Virginia (Mustered at Crawford, Mississippi)
This company went into the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (3rd day’s battle) with 39 men rank and file, and on that bloody field lost 18 men killed and 21 men wounded, a total killed and wounded of 36 men out of 39; 2 men in the division had taken the canteens of the company to go after water and were not in the charge made on Cemetery Ridge, and as they left the field there was but one man for duty, Corporal J. T. Morgan. The 11th Regiment to which this company belonged carried into battle as shown by record 325 men and lost 202 men, about 62 percent of all the men engaged.
