CORP. JOEL GREEN HUDDLESTON,
Joel Green Huddleston was born 4 Oct 1845 in
Fentress County TN. He was the oldest son of Thomas and Malinda Huddleston and
grandson of John C and Ann Huddleston. He was 18 when he enlisted. The other
Huddlestons in the 1st Mtd Infantry are his cousins. His uncle, Joel G.
Huddleston, served in the 2nd TN. My gr-grandfather, Joel Green
Huddleston, married Tabitha Emeline Ledbetter, daughter of Washington Ledbetter,
Jr and his wife Mary. They married in Overton County 3 Aug 1866. For the next
few years after they war, they stayed there in the Oveton/ Fentress area of TN
until 1887 when he moved his growing family to Cumberland Co, KY. Family stories
said that he was so sadden by the breach in the Huddleston family where so many
of his cousins fought on both sides during the war that he finally moved away.
He moved his family to Collin County TX in 1893 where he preached in the First
Christain Church. He moved on to Mineral Wells TX in 1900 on advice of James
Alanzo Goodbar, his cousin. James was stepson of his uncle, Joel. Joel and
Tabitha were the parents of 12 children, all born in Tennessee. Joel Green died
22 Dec. 1920 in Mineral Wells TX. Tabitha died 15 Feb 1933. Photo is
