Field officers of the 39th Regiment Virginia Infantry were commissioned by the Government of Virginia on May 28, 1861 and the regiment was subsequently mustered into the service of the Confederate States with eleven companies, A to L, two of which acted a cavalry and one as artillery. In the Company Muster Roll for Dec 31, 1861 to Feb 3, 1862, Jack was listed as absent and as taken prisoner. The company was disbanded and mustered out of service on Jan 25, 1862.

Apparently lived with Thomas Iddings (his grandfather) according to the 1870 Census, after the death of his parents - perhaps that is why his last name is listed as Iddings instead of Hall, or perhaps Henry Hall was not really his father. He was born on May 28, 1854 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2,1 He married Sarah Jane "Sally" Stump, daughter of Cebret Stump, on April 7, 1874 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2 Dennis W.
