CAPTAIN JAMES T. TOSH

Was born in Roanoke county, Virginia, May 16, 1838. He was graduated
from the Virginia Military Institute in June, 1860, and attended
the sessions of 1860-1 at the University of Virginia. He entered the
Confederate service as captain commanding the "Sons of Liberty," a
volunteer company composed of students, and thoroughly trained
before leaving the University. In this capacity, and as aide de camp to
Gen. R. E. Colston, he served until the close of the struggle. He married
Ida Ragland, eldest daughter of R. Ragland, of Petersburg, January 5,
1864, and at the close of hostilities settled in that city as a tobacco
manufacturer.
