m. 08 Nov 1882In 1860 the United States was less than 100 years old and the issue of slavery had become an uncompromising issue. By 1861 South Carolina had succeeded from the Union and there was a Civil War between the northern and southern states. Fighting commenced on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a Federal military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
All seven sons of Jake and Delilah Setzer served in the Civil War.
Noah Monroe Setzer, age 23, seems to have been the first of Jacob Setzer's son's to enlist in the Confederate army. Noah joined Company A, 12th Regiment on 27 Apr 1861.
John Wilburn Setzer, age 22, enlisted in Company K, 46th Regiment on 27 Mar 1862. On July 4, 1862, Marcus Elkanah (age 32), William Able (age 26), Jacob Harvey (age 25), Patrick Sylvanus (age 19), and Henry Theodore (age 16) enlisted as part of the Confederate army, leaving Jacob with a large farm and no sons to help run it. Jacob Harvey Setzer was in Company C, 57th Regiments - more than likely the same time as several of his brothers. Like his brothers, he was in five battles and was captured and held prisoner for sixteen months at Rappahannock Station.
Jacob was hospitalized at Richmond, Virginia, 10 Oct 1862 with typhoid fever, then furloughed for thirty days on or about October 18, 1862. He returned to duty in November-December, 1862 and was reported present through October 31, 1863. Jacob was captured at Rappahannock Station, Virginia on 07 Nov 1863 and confined at Point Lookout, Maryland on 11 Nov 1863. He was paroled at Point Lookout on 24 Feb 1865 and received at Aiken's Landing, James River, Virginia between February 25th and March 2, 1865, for exchange. Jacob ended up in the hospital at Richmond again on 02 Mar 1865 and was reported still in hospital at Richmond on 18 Mar 1865. Jacob apparently died in hospital at Richmond. The cause of death was not reported. SOURCES
