According to North Carolina Troops 1861-65, A Roster, James Webb Sudderth enlisted in Company A, North Carolina Infantry Regiment on 30 April, 1861.
He married Jane Nelson on 27 September 1866 in Caldwell County, NC.
According to oral tradition, he died of a heart attack at his home near Blowing Rock, NC.
In Memoriam.
Died at his hime near Blowing Rock, Watauga county, N.C., Jan. 31, 1883, James W. Sudderth in the forty eighth year of his age. The funeral was attended by a number of relatives and friends who deeply sympathized with the bereaved family.
Apparently the deceased had every prospect for long life, enjoying excellent health up to the moment of his death. He was standing in the barn yard holding his horse which he had just caught, when by some unknown cause the "solver cord" was broken and he fell a lifeless corpse. Thus verifying the truth, "in the midst of life we are in death."
James was of a large and respected family, being a son of the late James Sudderth, deceased, who lived and died two miles of Lenoir. He was born and raised on the old homestead and remained under the parental roof until the beginning of the late war, when he nobly responded to the first call for volunteers and enlisted under Capt. William F. Jones in "Co.A" of the 22nd N.C. Regiment, rendering his country faithful service until the close of the war.
He was a good soldier. Brave and unflinching in battle and ever at the post of duty. In the many bloody conflicts through which he passed, he was several times wounded and three times captured by the enemy, but his fidelity to the cause which he so early espoused was true to the last. His familiarity with the battles and battle grounds of Virginia was remarkable as well as interesting. When Gen. Lee surrendered he was at home on parole, having arrived but a few days before the invasion of Gen. Stoneman.
Soon after the war he married a daughter of John Nelson, Esq. A few years later he purchased and moved to a farm in Watauga county, where he lived enjoying the confidence and esteem of his neighbors until his death.
Converted several years ago he joined the Baptist church and lived a consistent member of the same until the close of his life. A good citizen, a Christian man, a true and faithful husband and a kind and affectionate father, we may truly say, "a good man has fallen."
By his lamented death a wife and seven children are thrown into deep sorrow, hard indeed to bear, but while theirs is an irreparable loss his is an eternal gain. With him earth's trials are ended. He is quietly resting, waiting for the morning, and we pray that He who is the "widow's friend" will so care for them in this life that in the morning of glory, their tears all gone, their sorrows all ended, they may hail the loved husband and father in the land that knows no dying.
