A Body Of Confederate Civil War Soldiers Organized At Wheeling
The Shriver Grays, organized at Wheeling, with about 80 men, was organized in May 1861, with Daniel Shriver, captain; John W. Mitchell, first lieutenant; John B. Leadley, second lieutenant; Pryor Boyd, junior second lieutenant. The company left Wheeling on the 21st or 22d of May, 1861, and went to Harper's Ferry, reporting to Col. T. J. Jackson. It was mustered in as Company G, Twenty-seventh Virginia Infantry, of the Stonewall brigade. It served faithfully in that regiment until about May, 1863, when most of the survivors of the original company were transferred to the Thirty-sixth Virginia cavalry battalion, commanded by Maj. James Sweeney, of Wheeling. The battalion participated in the East Tennessee campaign as a part of Longstreet's command, was at the burning of Chambersburg, and in the rear guard after Gettysburg. Captain Shriver was succeeded in command, in the fall of 1862, by Robert McEldowney, previously orderly sergeant. Captain McEldowney was the last remaining commissioned officer with the Twenty-seventh, on March 25, 1865, when the assault was made on Fort Stedman and he was wounded there and disabled.

THE SHRIVER GRAYS
Lecture presented before the Wheeling Historical Society &
the Ohio Valley Civil War Roundtable by Paul Burig.
Researched and written by Paul Burig.
Before I start talking about the Shriver Grays, let me give you some background on the events that led up to the secession of Virginia during the Spring of 1861.When the Union began to fall apart early in 1861, the General Assembly of the State of Virginia was opposed to secession and was the position taken at a convention on February 13th. However, in the succeeding months pressure from the firebrands from South Carolina, Verdana and Mississippi along with radicals from within the state put on a concerted effort to sway public opinion in favor of secession. The result was that a second convention met in Richmond on April 20th and the sentiment had shifted in favor of secession. Of the 47 delegates from the western counties 32 voted against secession. In fact 22 of the members met in the Powhatan Hotel and decided to go back home and work against ratification of the bill of secession rather than fighting a losing cause in the General Assembly. Feelings were so intense that the dissenting members left in the middle of the night and fled in secrecy.
The referendum for ratification took place on May 23rd. The farther west and the farther north you went in the state the more opposition there was against ratification. Wheeling became a center for the opposition and eventually became the state capitol when the government of the Restored State of Virginia and the State of West Virginia were formed.
But the sentiment in Wheeling was severely divided among the leaders in the community. The leaders of the secessionists were convinced that the bill for secession would be ratified and rallied as much support as possible. Secession was affirmed but it lost by a large margin in the counties of northwestern Virginia.
While the tug of war over secession was taking place a number of members of the old Virginia Militia began meeting in secrecy to recruit and train soldiers for the Confederate Army which was taking shape in the states that had already seceeded. They met in homes and barns to get organized and drill. One of the stories that has been told and retold is that they invited the most prominent tailor in Wheeling, who favored the Union, to one of their meetings and had all of the members measured for suits made out of the same gray cloth which became uniforms.
The tailor had made a commitment to provide the suits thinking they were preparing for some social occasion and made the suits. Whether he discovered the real purpose before the recruits revealed their intentions is unknown.
There is much about their activities in Wheeling before their departure that is unknown. By the time the recruits boarded a packet boat to make their way to Confederate territory two leaders has emerged. One was James W. Sweeney and the other was Daniel M. Shriver. It is claimed they were aboard the last packet to leave Wheeling before the river traffic was closed down by the Union Army under General George McClellan.
They apparently made their way south to the mouth of the Kanawha River where they headed to Charleston. Most of the recruits accompanied Shriver on to Lewisburg and down the Shenandoah Valley to Harpers Ferry. Some remained in the Charleston area with Sweeney. Just when they left Wheeling is unknown. The records show that they date their recruitment from May 17th, six days before the vote for secession was taken and most of them were mustered into the Confederate Army on May 26th along with other Confederate recruits under the command of Col. Thomas Jonathan Jackson who had gone to Harpers Ferry from Virginia Military Institute, where he was an instructor. [NOTE, Feb 22, 2012, from William Veach: My (several great) grandfather was a member of the Shriver Grays. His name was Watkins Kearns. I have a digital copy of his diary from the beginning of his service to the CSA until he concluded. The first page states that he left Wheeling on the 21st of May to go to Harpers Ferry. He mentions Capt. Shriver left Wheeling on the 18th of May. He also mentions that he and a few others of the company waited until May 24th when they were joined by another portion of the company that was "quartered in a farm house."]
One of the earliest records of Daniel's service is from the Official Records where he wrote a letter to Col. Jackson urging that a force be sent to Wheeling to prevent the takeover by the Union sympathizers led by A. W. Campbell, editor of "The Intelligencer".
Daniel and his unit, which had been designated as Company G of the 27th Virginia Infantry Regiment, spent their first service at Harpers Ferry getting organized and drilling. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston decided that Harpers Ferry could not be held and Col. Jackson withdrew the Confederate troops to Winchester, Va. He also removed all moveable equipment from the Federal Armory and sent it south to Richmond and Fayetteville, N.C., which provided the nucleus for production of weapons for the Confederate Army.
It was from Winchester that the Confederate troops, including the 27th Regiment, boarded trains to go to Manassas where the first Battle of Bull Run or Manassas took place. The 27th was engaged in the battle at a key point on Henry Hill where their neighboring regiment, the 33rd, was credited with turning the tide of battle. The 27th was probably about a hundred yards to the right of the 33rd.
Whether Daniel fought in that battle is uncertain. The company records listed Daniel as absent due to sickness during July and August and since the battle took place on July 21st it is uncertain whether he actually took part in the battle but he later stated that he was present for all skirmishes and battles except when wounded.
In January 1862 Jackson ordered his brigade to march to Romney to kick out the Union troops that occupied that town. The march almost became a disaster when the troops were caught in the mountains during a winter storm. The Union troops withdrew from Romney without a fight but the Confederates were holding the town with very little in the way of supplies and no practical access to Winchester. It was hardly the smartest move that Jackson made.
From the Spring of 1862 until the Battle of Antietam in September it was a period of nearly constant fighting for the Stonewall brigade. The Valley Campaign by Jackson is a masterpiece of military strategy which literally drove the Union Army crazy. The records show that Daniel was severely wounded on June 13th at the Battle of Port Republic. This was near the end of the Valley Campaign so it is uncertain whether Daniel was with the regiment when it was moved to near Richmond during the battles to repulse the Union Army which had advanced to within a few miles of Richmond.
Then came the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Chantilly, the invasion of Maryland, the Siege of Harpers Ferry and finally the Battle at Antietam, which was a disaster for both the Union and Confederate Armies. Then it was back to the encampments around Winchester and a period of regroupment which led up to the Battle of Fredricksburg on Dec. 12th thru 15th, which ended operations for 1862.
On April 27th, 1863, the Chancelorsville Campaign began. Jackson pulled another of his famous flanking movements which threw the Union forces into turmoil. The tragedy of it all was the wounding and death of Stonewall Jackson.
The Stonewall brigade was next in action at Winchester during the buildup for the invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania which culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg. Daniel had been advanced to major and then lieutenant colonel and was in command of the regiment at Gettysburg.
Following the retreat from Gettysburg, Daniel resigned his commission to serve in the General Assembly. He had been elected to represent the troops from northwestern Virginia, by then West Virginia. Lee protested his resignation but politics prevailed.
When the session ended, Daniel petitioned the authorities, including Jefferson Davis, to be commissioned colonel in the cavalry for the purpose of raising a regiment of mounted riflemen in northwestern Virginia. After carrying his plea through several channels, he was finally granted his wish.
The State of West Virginia had been formed by June of 1863 and the Union forces were in firm control of most of the western counties of what had been Virginia. There is no indication that he was ever able to recruit the unit he had planned and there are no records that I am aware of as to what he did during 1864 and 1865.
The command of the Shriver Grays had been passed on to Capt. Robert M. McEldowney of New Martinsville, W. Va. His enlistment dates from Sept. 23, 1861 and he enlisted in Wheeling, which by that time for firmly in Union hands. How this was possible, I don't know.
He moved up through the ranks and was elected Captain on May 27th, 1862 when Shriver was elected Major. MeEldowney was listed as captain for the remainder of the war. He was wounded four times: in the right foot at Second Manassas, in the groin at Gettysburg, in the right arm in the Wilderness, and in the left leg at Fort Stedman, during the Petersburg seige. He was captured at a hospital in Richmond on April 3rd, just six days before the surrender at Appomattox. The war for MeEldowney wasn't quite over yet because he escaped from the hospital at Richmond on May 9th.
After the war he became a salesman in Philadelphia, an agent for the B&O Railroad, a member of the West Virginia Legislature, and editor of "The Wetzel Democrat", a newspaper in New Martinsville, W.Va., where he lived until he died.
At the time of the battle at Fort Stedman, there were only 58 men in the regiment which was under the command of McEldowney.
At Appomattox there were only 21 from the regiment that surrendered and only one from Company G, The Shriver Grays. His name was George Decker and he was from Rockbridge County so there was none from Wheeling. The regiment was under the command of Captain Franklin Caruthers Wilson, from Union, Virginia.
The last information I have about Daniel Shriver is concerning his death in Ohio County in July 1865 of convulsions. The cause of the convulsions is not given. His funeral was held from the home of his sister, Effie, who was the wife of William H. Russell who lived in Elm Grove and he is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Wheeling.
