(Gettysburg) Four Identified Confederate Images-Two Uniform Dingledine Family
Dingledine Confederate Family Grouping – Nine Images with Two Identified Confederate Soldiers
This is an exceptional and historically significant family photograph grouping featuring members of the Dingledine family of Rockingham County, Virginia. The collection consists of nine original images mounted together on a single large, period display board. The grouping includes five 1/9th plate images, three 1/6th plate images, and one 1/4 plate image. All images were acquired directly from the Dingledine family descendants.
The centerpiece of this collection features two identified Confederate soldiers in uniform along with additional family members, including another brother who also served in the Confederate army.
Identified Soldiers:
- Adam Dingledine (bottom middle, in uniform with revolver) – Served in both the 7th Virginia Cavalry and Price’s Company, Virginia Danville Light Artillery. He enlisted in October 1862 and was wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness on May 5, 1864. He died of his wounds on May 19, 1864, at General Hospital in Staunton, Virginia, at the age of 32.
- Philip Dingledine (top middle, in uniform) – Served as a Corporal in Price’s Company, Virginia Danville Light Artillery.
- Peter S. Dingledine (bottom left, in civilian clothing) – Brother who also served. Enlisted April 22, 1861, and mustered into Price’s Company, Virginia Danville Light Artillery.
- John Balser Dingledine (right middle, in civilian clothing) – Also served with the family in the artillery unit.
The large central image shows Balser Dingledine (1792–1862), the family patriarch, who was born in Germany and died during the early years of the Civil War. He is buried at Rader Lutheran Church Cemetery in Timberville, Rockingham County, Virginia.
This is a rare opportunity to own a documented multi-image family grouping with strong Virginia Confederate provenance, direct family descent, and multiple identified soldiers who served together in the same artillery unit. The images are well-preserved with good clarity and strong presence. The unified mount creates a powerful and impressive visual display.
A truly outstanding Civil War family archive with excellent research potential and strong display appeal.
