A Pvt. Zachariah Taylor Israel mustered into service at Washington Co., N. C. on April 23, 1864 in Co. H, 24th Virginia Infantry, for a period of 3 years "One of the elite fighting units of the Confederate Army of Northern Virgina."

He was wounded on May 17, 1864, most likely in the operations on the Bermuda Hundred front, VA.

He was admitted to the Receiving and Wayside Hospital No. 9, Richmond, Va, May 25, 1864, diagnosis, Vul Sclofit [sp?], believe Latin for gunshot wound.
