Bill,
J.D. is James D. Birmingham from Wadesboro. Motes had this listed as James Alexander Birmingham but this man did not exist. J.D.'s mother was a Dabbs, so a good guess that his middle initial stands for Dabbs, but this is only a guess.
He is listed as James D. in census records, J.D. in Confederate Army records, and either one or the other (can't remember) in his death announcement in the Wadesboro Newspaper in 1863.
