Rev. Alexander Davis Betts was a veteran of the Civil War (C.S.A.) He was a Methodist minister and chaplain of the 30th North Carolina Regiment, the 'Tar Heels', for three and a half years.
According to the book 'Historical Southern Families, Volume VIII' by John Bennett Boddie, Rev. Betts '... was frequently referred to by General Lee as 'that model Chaplain, Brother Betts.' The same book also states that he kept a diary from 1861 to 1865 which was published as 'Experiences of a Confederate Chaplain.'
In his book 'Experiences of a Confederate Chaplain' Betts states that on Apr 1, 1865 he 'Spent night with C. H. Cofield, who was my guardian for ten years of my boyhood.' He is likely referring to my gg-grandfather, Cornelius Harnett Coffield.

Alexander Davis Betts, D.D., 1832-1918
Betts, Alexander Davis (25 Aug. 1832-15 Dec. 1918), Methodist minister and Confederate chaplain, the son of Temperance Utley and William Betts, was born in Blockersville (now Stedman), Cumberland County. At the age of seventeen, when he was playfully trying to ride a young steer, he was thrown and sustained an injury that left him lame for life. At the nearby Summerville Academy he began a classical education, and he entered The University of North Carolina as a member of the class of 1855. He received the A. B. degree and a few years later the M.A; in 1895 the university honored him with the degree of D.D. Betts remained a loyal friend to the university and attended University Day and commencement a number of times. In 1882 he wrote a hymn for University Day, and he was a trustee from 1879 until 1895. Shortly before graduation day in 1855, Betts married Mary E. Davis of Chapel Hill, adopting her maiden name as his own middle name in her honor.
In Chapel Hill, Betts was converted to Methodism in 1853, and there he was licensed to preach in 1855. For a brief time, however, he taught in a Pittsboro academy. Soon afterward he became 'supply' minister to the Methodist church in Martinsville, Henry County, Va. In gratitude for his warm reception there, he named his newborn son Henry for the county.
Before the Civil War, Betts served churches in Sampson County, Smithville (now Southport), Elizabethtown, and Smithfield. After the war he served in many places, as Methodist ministers customarily do. Among his assignments were churches in the counties of Anson, Brunswick, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Guilford, Harnett, Jones, Nash, and Wilson. In 1908 he was superannuated but continued his work by preaching upon invitation and working with schools and prisons in various parts of the state.
After the death of his first wife (5 Sept 1879), Betts in 1881 married Priscilla M. Debnam. Six of his eleven children were living at the time of his death: the Reverend W. A., J. R., Sallie, Dr. J. S., Mrs. L. P. Wokins, and Mrs. R. L. Davis.
On 25 Oct. 1861, Betts was commissioned chaplain of the Thirtieth North Carolina Regiment; he served throughout the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee is said to have spoken of Betts on one occasion as 'that model chaplain.' Betts kept a journal, published in 1904 as Experiences of a Confederate Chaplain (Piedmont, S.C.), in which he recorded detailed and moving accounts of his work.

Note that there appears to be another Anderson Betts born also in Wake County in 1830 (about 6 years after my ancestor was born). His wife's name is Elizabeth Jordan and they were married in December 1852 (ref. Wake County marriage bonds). He also appears in at least the 1850, 1860, and 1900 NC censuses. In 1850 he apparently was a neighbor of my Anderson Betts. Do not confuse him with my ancestor.
The 1860 NC census lists Anderson's middle initial as 'W.2' |
