Fromthe birth states and reported ages, we can estimate that James an Mary
moved form North Carolina to Alabama about 1836. Martha is reproted a
consisten age form 1850 to 1860. Ages for most family members vary between
the two censuses. Some are older than expected in 1860 and some are younger.
The father James' age in 1850 makes him born 7 years earlier than the 1860
age, and 9 years older than other sources.

James M. Isreal
Death Feb 1928 Dekalb County
A family genealogy has exact dates of birth and death, but these differ
considerably from those we get from censuses and this death record. The
Newbrough Family Tree reports that James Monroe Israel was born on 7 Sep 1848
in Cherokee County, Alabama and died on 11 Feb 1926 in Dekalb County, Alabama.
In his first census record, he was only 10 years old in June 1870. He could
have been born in late 1849 or early 1850. In the 1870 census above, he was
only 19 in August. Oddly this Newbrough tree actually cites the Alabama Death
Index as the only source for its death date for James, though the date
reported is two years earlier than the cited source!

John W Israel
Birth 1837
Death 1863
PVT CSA CO. E. 19TH ALABAMA INF.
(SEE GARRY SMITH PHOTO UNDER M. M. ISRAEL)
3 brothers who were killed in the Civil War. Sons of James Israel and Mary
Emma Burton Israel. Grandsons of Michael Israel and Sarah Coffee/Coffey.
On 12 August 1861, Monterville Marvin Israel along with his two brothers,
Leonidas and John W. enlisted for duty in the Civil War. They were with
Company E, 19th Alabama Infantry.
Jess Headley research:
Here is the newspaper story as told by EDGAR ISRAEL:
Monterville Enlisted as a 1st Lt. with his brothers, John William and Leander
(Leonidas) , on 12 Aug. 1861 at Kirk's Grove, Cherokee Cty, AL, in Company E,
19th Alabama Infantry. (Roll of the Cherokee Guards) Was commissioned a
Captain in 28 Aug 1862. (military record says Feb. 1862 at Pensacola) Fought
in Battle of Stone River/Murpreesboro, TN, Dec 1862; fought at Chickamauga in
Sept. 1863; and at Chattanooga in Nov. He was wounded during the retreat from
Chattanooga and the subsequent campaign against Sherman's march, and died in
the Kingston, GA hospital.
From the Burlinton NC Sun Times 11/12/2000
Although he is a member of the American Legion and a few other organizations,
retiree Edgar Israel of Graham hasn't gotten around to joining the Sons of
Confederate Veterans. If he should apply, he won't have to worry about be
turned down.
My great-grandfather, who was a captain in the Confederate Army, was killed in
a battle at Atlanta, Ga., on Sept. 21, 1863, said Israel, who is 93 years old
and still active. His great-grandfather, William Ross Israel, is buried in the
Confederate Cemetery in Atlanta.
He was shot off of his horse, Israel said, adding that when he was a youngster
he was occasionally shown the bullet that took his forebear's life. The bullet
went through him and lodged in his coat, where it was found. He said one of
his relatives had the old bullet, but he has no idea what happened to it.
The year 1863 wasn't a good one for the Israel family. Israel said two of his
great uncles, Confederate Army captains (Privates) Lee Landres Israel John W.
Israel and (Captain) Monteville Marvin Israel, were also killed in battles
with Union forces.
All three of the brothers were farmers in Alabama and they joined the 19th
Alabama Calvary, a part of the Confederate Army, at the same time on Aug. 14,
1861, in Huntsville, Ala., he said.
LEE ISRAEL (Leonidas/Leander) was the first of the three to be killed; that
was on April 19, 1863. He was killed at Shiloh, where he served under Gen.
Albert Johnson. He is buried in an unmarked grave in Chattanooga, Tenn., he
said, explaining his great-grandfather was the second of the brothers to die.
(MONTERVILLE) Marvin Israel, who was fatally shot later in the year in a
battle in Georgia, is one of 250 Confederate soldiers buried in a military
cemetery in Kingston, Ga. (He died April 9, 1864.)
Israel, a retired textile engineer and plant manager, recently told a
gathering of the Burlington area Sons of Confederate Veteran.
There is a book written about this ISRAEL family by Kenneth Israel.

-----------------------
3 brothers who were killed in the Civil War. Sons of James Israel and Mary
Emma Burton Israel. Grandsons of Michael Israel and Sarah Coffee/Coffey.
On 12 August 1861, Monterville Marvin Israel along with his two brothers,
Leonidas and John W. enlisted for duty in the Civil War. They were with
Company E, 19th Alabama Infantry.
Jess Headley research:
Here is the newspaper story as told by EDGAR ISRAEL:
Monterville Enlisted as a 1st Lt. with his brothers, John William and Leander
(Leonidas) , on 12 Aug. 1861 at Kirk's Grove, Cherokee Cty, AL, in Company E,
19th Alabama Infantry. (Roll of the Cherokee Guards) Was commissioned a
Captain in 28 Aug 1862. (military record says Feb. 1862 at Pensacola) Fought
in Battle of Stone River/Murpreesboro, TN, Dec 1862; fought at Chickamauga in
Sept. 1863; and at Chattanooga in Nov. He was wounded during the retreat from
Chattanooga and the subsequent campaign against Sherman's march, and died in
the Kingston, GA hospital.
From the Burlinton NC Sun Times 11/12/2000
...
LEE ISRAEL (Leonidas/Leander) was the first of the three to be killed; that
was on April 19, 1863. He was killed at Shiloh, where he served under Gen.
Albert Johnson. He is buried in an unmarked grave in Chattanooga, Tenn., he
said, explaining his great-grandfather was the second of the brothers to die.
(MONTERVILLE) Marvin Israel, who was fatally shot later in the year in a
battle in Georgia, is one of 250 Confederate soldiers buried in a military
cemetery in Kingston, Ga. (He died April 9, 1864.)

Martha Elvira Israel Goggans
Birth: Jul. 16, 1856
Death: Jan. 15, 1901
Wife of Newton R. GOGGANS
Daughter of Capt. Mounterville Marvin ISRAEL and Matilda GREEN
Memories of a descendant:
Martha Elvira - I assume she was a lovely person from the life-long impression
she left on Mother (Minnie), who was only 12 at the time, but she quoted her
mother and has been very attached and was truly impressed by her mother's
life. Martha came from the Israel family who originated in North Carolina. In
the family history book "Children of Israel" written by Kenneth Israel -
Martha Elvira was dropped from the history book when she married Newton
Goggans and left that area of NC.
Martha and Newton had five children: Arthur who died at a young age, Ethel,
Minnie Lee, Maud and Willie.
Parents:
Monterville Marvin Israel (1826 - 1864)
Children:

In 1850, there is another enumeration of Monterville and Matilda, in the
household of her brother Ambrose in neighboring DeKalb County. This
enumeration was not made until the end of the year. The census date for 1850
was 1 January, and this family was enumerated in Cherokee County on 11
January. Apparently it took 11 months for the authorities to get to DeKalb
across the county line to the north.
I suspect the farm they are working in DeKalb County is very near their farm
home in Cherokee County, since they are all enumerated in Cherokee County in
1840 and 1860.

Alabama Civil War Muster Rolls, 1861-1865
Roll #209

Military unit: 19th Alabama Infantry Regiment, Company E
Muster Roll Date: 04 Sep 1861 Alabama
Promoted from First Lieutenant to Captain Pensacola Feb 1862
Died December 1863 Kingston [Bartow County, Georgia]
[Military records report death in Kingston was Dec 1863. Some researchers
propose he actually died in April 1864, but was wounded in Dec 1863. Jess
Headly suggests he was wounded at Chickamauga. But according to the dates
provided below by Nancy Coward, Chickamauga was in September 1863, and
Monterville fought in the Battle of Chattanooga in November 1863, so this
would be the obvious time when his ultimately mortal wounds occurred.]
In a roll of the Cherokee Guards, Monterville is listed along with a William
Green and his neighbor George Taylor, recorded adjacent to him in the 1840
census. William is probably the nephew of Monterville's wife Matilda, the son
of her brother Jephtha, born in 1838.

A couple of genealogies report a different date of death for Monterville.
With some uncertainty, Nancy Lee Coward reports it as "Kingston Hospital in
Bartow Co, GA I think." This information from Nancy is included in the fairly
complete genealogy of Linda Newbrough "Our Newbrough Family Tree" on
Ancestry.com (http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/7037895/person/-1177607896).
The family connections and George Taylor, as well as other names that appear
on the same page in the 1840 census are conclusive that the record I am
reporting here is for the right Monterville Marvin Israel. Nancy refers to
further family and military records indicating that the Dec 1863 date may be
the date he was wounded, but death occurred only in April 1864. I think it
makes more sense that the military record is correct, and the family used a
later date based on when they got the information. See further discusssion
below.
Nancy discusses this discrepancy and provides other family information to
clarify the date of death, in comments on Linda Newbrough's tree on Ancestry.

CAPTAIN MONTERVILLE MARVIN ISRAEL CSA
According to "The Children of Israel" by Kenneth Israel and Military records.
Enlisted as a 1st Lt. in the Roll of the Cherokee Guards (Cherokee, AL).
Promoted to Captain at Pensacola on Feb. 1862, he was listed as deceased on
Dec. 1863, but that is probably when he was wounded....death date is on
headstone at Crossville, Al. as 1864.
Family records say he returned home in 1862 to get clothing, and that is
probably when the photo of him in uniform was taken. According to his military
record, he died at the Kingston Georgia Hospital and is actually buried there
in a common grave along with his fallen comrades. (Military records list him
as M. M. "Marvel" and "Marvil") He has a VA headstone beside Leonidas and John
W. Israel who died in 1863 in the Civil War, and are believed to be his
brothers. His headstone reads "In Memory Of".
The headstones are at Crossville Alabama Cemetery. He was married to Matilda
Green daughter of Henry and Alley (Saxon) Green. He and Matilda had 5 children
before he died. They were: William Taylor, James Monroe, John W., George W.
and Martha Elvira Israel. Martha is my line. She married Newton R. Goggans.
Monterville is in two censuses in 1850. They moved from DeKalb (January census
date) Al. to Cherokee Al (Dec. census date). In Dekalb they were living with a
possible brother of Matilda Green (A. Green) with one child, Taylor (William)
Israel age 2. In 1860 they were in Cherokee Co., Al. with his wife and 5
children.

-------------------------------------------------------------
I question whether the two census reports indicates that Monterville and
Matilda actually changed residence during the year 1850. MM Israel was
already in Cherokee Alabama in 1840, where they are enumerated two houses down
from her Matilda's brother Ambrose. But I wonder why Ambrose would be over in
DeKalb when he is living in Cherokee County in 1840 and 1960. I rather
suspect they lived close to the county line, Ambrose is working another farm,
and Monterville is there with his family temporarily working with him
Nancy references one of the notes I found on military records. I had found
the name "Marvel" that she refers to. In notes on the back of the official
record card of Monterville is listed as on the other records, only by his
initials, M M Israel. But above this entry, in another pen and another hand,
is written "Marvel." It appears this represents the phonetic contraction of
Monterville in the southern drawl we would hear in that part of the country.
In the common format of that speech "Monter" of Monterville would be softened
(slurred) into "Mar." Seeing the VA headstone (below) on his memorial grave
made me wonder if they pronounced Marvin as Marvel.
Nancy mentions military records that report his death as in Kingston Hospital,
but I have not found that record. I suspect that the discrepancy of dates of
death Dec 1863 and the year 1864 is because the death occurred so near the end
of the year and the family got the news in January 1864, so that by the time
they got the memorial monument and plot worked out, 1864 was in focus in the
family's mind and that was the year that got recorded as the year of death.
The VA headstone would have likely followed the family info.

My grandmother (Mary Ethel Goggans) was the daughter of Martha Israel and
Newton Goggans. I am sure many of you have researched the Israel family, but I
want to share a personal "trip" I took back to my/our roots. The Israels came
from Buncombe County, North Carolina. They owned part of the original estate
where the Biltmore mansion was built...they have a long history there, with a
lot of sites preserved...
Montraville Marvin Israel left NC and moved to Alabama. It was here that he
married Matilda Green and they had 5 children... I only knew originally that
Montraville was injured at Chickamauga and taken to a hospital in Kingston,
Ga, where he died of his injuries...So I began to "dig" for info about
Kingston..and the cemetery...and the hospital...for some reason, I had this
compelling desire to go there, find the cemetery, and see for myself...this
spring, I made this part of our vacation...we went to Kingston...found some
wonderful people who still celebrate "Memorial Day" there..each spring, they
honor the Confederate soldiers (249 unidentified, one identified) who are
buried at their Confederate cemetery.
They have a history center there and some papers terlling the history of some
of the known soldiers buried there..There are only about 50 that have been
identified...They had no records of Montraville Marvin Israel and were
delighted to have someone from his family share his story..I plan to sent them
a written history of him, along with a picture I have (got from an Israel
researcher) to add to their files. I also plan to add a brick with both his
name and my wife's GG Gfather, George Franklin Walker to their honor roll
there.
I also went 50 miles north and visited both the Chattanooga battlefield and
the Chickamauga sites..they were so fascinating, because if you knew the
regiment and leader, you could actually trace their actions and where they
fought...very worthwhile..At Angely...my wife and my family intersect in
several ways...they both were in the Alabama regiments that were merged
together..hers coming from Lauderdale County, mine from Cherokee county...they
fought side by side in several brutal battles...did they perhaps know each
other???..any way that is another story...
Here are a few of my notes from Montraville Marvin Israel from my Family Tree
Maker file...I have a lot of info about the battles, etc...if anyone is
interested..thanks..Jess Headley
By 1836, he was in Cherokee County, Alabama. On Aug 12, 1861, he enlisted in
the Confederate Army. Company E, 19th Ala Infantry. Battles: Stone River
(Murfreesboro, Tenn Dec 1862); Chickamauga, Sept 1863; Chattanooga, Nov 1863;
promoted to Captain on Aug 28, 1862; went home to get clothing in Nov 1862. He
died at Kingston Hospital in Kingston, Georgia. He is buried there.
From the Burlington, North Carolina, Sun Times 11/12/2000
Although he is a member of the American Legion and a few other organizations,
retiree Edgar Israel of Graham hasn't gotten around to joining the Sons of
Confederate Veterans. If he should apply, he won't have to worry about be
turned down.
My great-grandfather, who was a captain in the Confederate Army, was killed in
a battle at Atlanta, Ga., on Sept. 21, 1863, said Israel, who is 93 years old
and still active. His great-grandfather, William Ross Israel, is buried in the
Confederate Cemetery in Atlanta. He was shot off of his horse, Israel said,
adding that when he was a youngster he was occasionally shown the bullet that
took his forebear's life. The bullet went through him and lodged in his coat,
where it was found. He said one of his relatives had the old bullet, but he
has no idea what happened to it.
The year 1863 wasn't a good one for the Israel family. Israel said two of his
great uncles, Confederate Army captains Lee Landres Israel and Monteville
Marvin Israel, were also killed in battles with Union forces. All three of
the brothers were farmers in Alabama and they joined the 19th Alabama Calvary,
a part of the Confederate Army, at the same time on Aug. 14, 1861, in
Huntsville, Ala., he said. Lee Israel was the first of the three to be
killed; that was on April 19, 1863.
He was killed at Shiloh, where he served under Gen. Albert Johnson. He is
buried in an unmarked grave in Chattanooga, Tenn., he said, explaining his
great-grandfather was the second of the brothers to die. Marvin Israel, who
was fatally shot later in the year in a battle in Georgia, is one of 250
Confederate soldiers buried in a military cemetery in Kingston, Ga. Israel, a
retired textile engineer and plant manager, recently told a gathering of the
Burlington area Sons of Confederate Veterans.
From Websites, Bartow County, 2002:
The first Confederate "Wayside Home," or hospital, was here. Many followed
eventually serving more than 100,000 soldiers. The Confederate Cemetery,
containing gravesites of 250 unknown Confederate and two Union soliders, is
the site of the oldest continuous Confederate Memorial Day. With the outbreak
of the Civil War, Kingston became a hospital and supply center because of the
rail connections. The first "Wayside Home," or Confederate hospital, was
established here in 1861; more than 10,000 sick and wounded troops passed
through it. In 1864, after the Confederate Army retreated, Union troops were
attended here.
From the Muster Roll:
ISRAEL, John W. Private E Born 1836; Aug 12, 1861, Kirk's Grove, Ala
ISRAEL, Marrel M. 1st Lieut. E
Born 1826; Died Apr 9, 1864 of wounds at Chickamauga; Aug 13, 1861, Kirk's
Grove, Ala; Promoted to Captain Mar 1, 1862
[This is a quote of a transcription from
http://www.19thalabama.org/muster.html. Everything from "Born 1826 is in
Remarks, not a part of the original muster roll. I have not been able to find
a military record of death in April 1864, only the one reporting death at
Kingston in Dec 1863. Nor the citation that he died of wounds from the battle
of Chickamauga. This sounds doubtful, since he was apparently well enough to
fight again two months later in the Battle of Chattanooga.]
An overview of the 19th Alabama Infantry Regiment:
The 19th Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized at Huntsville, 14 August
1861, with men recruited from Blount, Cherokee, Chilton, Coosa, Jefferson, and
Pickens counties. It was ordered to Mobile immediately. It remained there
about three months, then was at Pensacola for two weeks.
Ordered to Corinth, the 19th was brigaded under Gen'l Gladden of Louisiana,
with the 22nd, 25th, and 50th regiments, and after Shiloh, the 17th Battalion,
Sharpshooters, and the 39th regiment. At Shiloh, the 19th lost 110 k and 240
w, of the 650 engaged. Gen'l Frank Gardner soon after succeeded to command the
brigade, leading it into Kentucky where it did not find the enemy. The
regiment retired with the army to fight at Murfreesboro, losing about 151 k
and w, about 1/4 of its strength.
Thereafter, Gen'l Deas of Mobile succeeded to the command of the brigade,
leading it at Chickamauga where it lost heavily, 192 k and w. There were few
casualties at Missionary Ridge, and the 19th wintered at Dalton. In the almost
incessant fighting from there to Atlanta, the regiment lost heavily in
casualties, particularly at new Hope and near Marietta. The brigade, under the
command of Gen'l Johnston of Perry, the 19th was badly cut up in the battles
at Atlanta on 22 and 28 July. Losses were slight at Jonesboro.
At the Battle of Franklin, the 19th lost only a few to battle wounds, but many
were captured. It went to North Carolina and was engaged at Kinston and
Bentonville, losing heavily in the latter affair. Then consolidated with the
40th and 46th Alabama regiments at Salisbury (with M. L. Woods as colonel and
Ezekiel Gully of Sumter as lt. colonel), the 19th surrendered at that place,
76 strong.

household in 1860. His age of 25 her would make his the oldest child of the
household. A brother, Monterville Marvin, was born about 1826, according to
his record in 1850 as head of his own household. The 1850 census is the first
that lists the names of any except the head of the household.
