According to Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, Vol. 5, Pg 287, William Isaac Minchew b. 1837 was the son of John Minchew b. 1812 and Rachel James b. 1818. The sketch for John Minchew b. 1812 states son William Isaac Minchew died in C.S. Army, single, 1861, supposedly in the Confederate service. Key word here is "supposedly." PWG further states his brother,, Benjamin Minchew, was appointed administrator on his estate in 1861.
Searching Ancestry.com, FOLD3.com, and the 1860 Census, no records were found for William Isaac Minchew, son of John Minchew. He is shown as, Isaac Minchew, living in the household of John Minchew in the 1850 Census. This could indicate William Isaac Minchew died in 1860 prior to the census being taken in mid-1860, because no William or Isaac Minchew linkable to the John Minchew family is recorded in the 1860 Census.
There is only one Isaac Minchew born between 1833 and 1843 living in Georgia during the 1860 Census. He was Isaac Minchew b. 1837, son of Calvin Minchew b. 1809. He was the Isaac Minchew of Co. E, 49th Georgia Infantry killed at Gettysburg. His muster roll records and census records tie together perfectly with the geographic areas of Pulaski County and Abbeville, GA.
Another Isaac J. Minshew was a Confederate Soldier in Co. F of the 26th Georgia Infantry, but his father's name was Isaac Minshew as per the muster roll stating that father Isaac Minshew claimed the final possessions of his dead soldier son Isaac Minshew.
A longshot connection to a Confederate Soldier was found in a muster roll for a W. Minchew filed under the name W. Minchen. This man enlisted in Albany, GA, which is quite a distance west of the John Minchen household. But, the muster rolls do end in 1861 with this soldier listed as "sick."
