From “The Citizen of Chesapeake” – by Denisse Lane, 2013
Though Pleasant Grove Baptist Church no longer exists in Chesapeake, its cemetery remains along with its place in Civil War history. A granite obelisk stands in memory of the Jackson Greys, Company A of the 61st Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, on the very grounds they were formed on by Colonel William H. Stewart.
The Jackson Greys were recruited from St. Brides Parish of Norfolk County, receiving their name from the hotel proprietor James W. Jackson. On May 24, 1861, Colonel Elmer Ellsworth saw the Confederate flag flying over Jackson’s Inn and sought to retrieve it with his men as a trophy for Lincoln. Jackson defended the flag by shooting Ellsworth in the chest as he came down the stairs, marking the first notable death in the Civil War. Jackson was then immediately killed by Corporal Francis E. Brownell, becoming a “martyr” for the Confederate cause. [Note from Juanita Allen: Jackson owned the Marshall House Hotel in Alexandria and this incident took place there on the day the Yankees invaded Virginia.]
In December of 1861 the Jackson Greys moved to Sewell’s Point at their request, the location where the first, although minor, skirmish on Virginian soil occurred during May of that year. Sewell’s Point proved to be a very strategic location during the Civil War and the Greys set up the most advanced artillery battery in the area, often trading fire with Fort Wool.
The unit also played a part in the most important naval battle of the Civil War, The Battle of Hampton Roads, in which the CSS Virginia (formerly the USS Merrimack), defeated both the USS Congress and USS Cumberland on March 8, 1862. The following day the famous battle of the ironclads, the Monitor and the Virginia (Merrimack), took place.
