Jeremiah was a son of John Manasco and Lucinda Luster of Walker County, Alabama. He enlisted in the Confederate Army on September 25, 1861 and was elected 1st Lieutenant by Captain Weeden’s Walker County Company. In the company October it was organized into the 22nd Alabama Infantry regiment. The 22nd Alabama was in the line of battle both days in April of 1862 at Shiloh. According to several sources Jeremiah was wounded in the left arm. The wound was so bad that it was necessary to amputate his arm. He was sent home where he died on May 1, 1862. 

Several sources stated that Jeremiah was serving as a medical aide to General Albert Sydney Johnston at the time of his death. There is no description of Jeremiah’s wounding reports from the 22nd Alabama found in the Official Record of the War of Rebellion and he does not appear in Johnston’s staff.
