Killed Company A, 30th Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 03 May 1863 in Chancellorsville, VA (Research):The May 3, 1863, fighting at Chancellorsville ranks among the bloodiest of the Civil War. In just over four hours of fighting, some 18,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing--one for every second of combat. Your great-great-uncle Ransom Naylor was right in the thick of it. As a member of the 30th North Carolina Infantry, Naylor served in General Stephen Dodson Ramseur's brigade. Shortly after the fighting erupted at dawn on May 3, Ramseur's men waded into the battle a short distance south of the Orange Plank Road (modern Route 3), where they engaged the Federals in a fierce struggle, losing about 600 men. The 30th North Carolina contributed 123 casualties to that total, 25 of them killed and the rest wounded. Ransom Naylor was one of those killed in the fighting. Most Confederate soldiers who died at Chancellorsville were buried on the battlefield. Only after the war ended were they gathered up and given a proper burial at Fredericksburg Confederate Cemetery. Many soldiers died without any identification. Even those who could be identified at the time of their deaths were no longer identifiable at the time of their interment at Fredericksburg. Consequently, the identies of most of the 3,000 Confederate soldiers now buried in that cemetery are unknown. As he does not appear in roster of known dead at the cemetery, Ransom Naylor seems to have shared that fate.
