Gilbert S. Meem
Gilbert Simrall Meem was a brigadier general in the Virginia militia, who served along with the Confederate States Army in northwestern Virginia at various times during 1861 and early 1862 in the American Civil War. Meems men participated in Stonewall Jacksons attacks on the towns of Romney and Bath, later Berkeley Springs, now in West Virginia in early January 1862. After the brigade went into winter quarters in Martinsburg, now West Virginia, Meem resigned his commission on February 1, 1862, apparently under pressure. He served in the government in Shenandoah County, Virginia during the war.
Gilbert S. Meem was born in Abingdon, Virginia on October 5, 1824. His parents were John Gaw Meem, a Lynchburg, Virginia banker, and Eliza Meem.
