John enlisted in the Army of the Confederate States of America 2 Jul 1861and was detailed as a nurse. One source states he died about 1863 in the Civil War. John Thomas served in the Virginia 50th Infantry Co. C during the "War between the States" with his brothers Granger and William. Given the date of his death (Oct 1863) one would presume he was killed in the conflict. His Regiment was organized in July, 1861, with 10 companies and three companies of cavalry temporarily attached. During Sept., one of the cavalry companies was disbanded and the other two transferred to the 8th regiment, Virginia Cavalry. The unit was reorganized in May, 1862, with nine companies. It moved to Tennessee and in February, 1862 and was captured at Fort Donelson. After being exchanged, it was assigned to the Department of Northern Virginia. It participated in numerous conflicts from Chancellorsville to Cold Harbor, moved with Early to the Shenandoah Valley, and fought its last battle at Waynesboro. The regiment reported 10 killed and 40 wounded at Fort Donelson, and there were 8 killed and 110 wounded at Chancellorsville. More then 40% of the 240 engaged at Gettysburg were disabled and it sustained heavy casualties in the Wilderness battles. During April 1865, it disbanded. The field officers were Colonel Thomas Paige, Alexander W. Reynolds, and A. S. Vandeventer; Lieutenant Cols. William W. Finney and Logan H. N. Salyer; and Majors Lynville J. Perkins and C. E. Thornburn. William Madison his brother aso served in the 50th Infantry. Michael J. Helmandollar served in the 45th Infantry. Michael's death date is shown as Jan 1865, which was several months before the end of the Civil War, so he may also have died in conflict. John's oldest sons, Charles and George, served in the 45th Infantry.] 11.TIB. 12.source of B: FHL IGI Feb 1997 version 1.0: F#: 170759, P# 1050. additional source of B and of E: FHL IGI F#: 170774, P#: 300, O#: 6487. additional source of B, E, and SP: IGI Ba: F507353 13, So: 1553365. 13.LDS Ordinances: FHL IGI B 18 May 1886 LOGAN F#:177844 P#: 63 O#: 2240 work was done for John HELMANDOLLAR by George Perry Thompson.
