Great-grandfather is John George Heidt, I, Salzburger who came to Georgia Colony in 1749.
Served in Confederate Army, Mar. 20 1862, Gainesville, FL as Corporal. Fought in the Civil War, Company C, 7th Regiment, FL Infantry. Reduced to Private May 1, 1862. Slightly wounded at Resaca, GA on May 14, 1864, Captured at Resaca, GA by Union Army on May 15, 1864. Briefly held as P.O.W. in Louisville, KY. Confined as P.O.W. at Camp Morton, Indianapolis, IN on May 21, 1864. Exchanged at Camp Morton on Mar. 15, 1865. Honorably discharged later in 1865.
Appears as Joshua on most census and other records, but also went by "Ed" sometimes. Edward and Emily must have had three other children who's names are not known at this time, because on the June 23, 1900 census, Emily is living with her son John Franklin Heidt and his family, and Emily is listed as having six children total, but only two living. Clearly John is one of the two, since she's living with him, and her last child, Mary S. "Mamie" (Heidt) Robinson, must be the second, because on the 1880 census, taken shortly after Edward died in 1879, John and Mary are the only children living with Emily. Since John and Mary are the only two children with her on the 1880 census, three of them must have died before the 1880 census, as they would have been too young to have moved out by then, because Edward and Emily were married in December of 1868, and in 1880 none of their children would be old enough to have moved out, all being 12 and under. Mary died Aug. 27, 1901, over a year after the 1900 census. Beatrice C. (Christmas) Summers appears to be one of the four of Emily's children that died before the 1900 census, because Beatrice is not with her husband in the 1900 census. Also, the other three children cannot be Emily's from a marriage after Edward died, because if she married after Edward died, she would not have been allowed to apply for widow's pension benefits as Edward's widow. And while the 1860 Census for Emily and her first husband, Jeremiah J. Christmas, shows they had no children (and he likely died not long after that in the war), the 1870 census for Edward Joshua Heidt and Emily "Emma" Heidt show the nine year old girl named Beatrice C., which is Emily's only child with first husband Jeremiah J. Christmas. That is why Beatrice appears to be one of the four of Emily's children that died before the 1900 census, because Beatrice is not with her husband in the 1900 census.
Although cemetery records have no listing for Edward Joshua Heidt being buried here, and a marker has not yet been located, his wife, Emily Heidt's, death certificate states she was going to be buried at Spring Hill Cemetery in Alachua County, GA, and there is no reason to believe they would be buried separately.
