1. Re: [TN-CIVIL-WAR] TN-CIVIL-WAR - What Happened to A.J.Stephens [1]
"The Sultana Tragedy" by Jerry O Potter lists those that were aboard at the time of the explosion. He does list STEVENS, Andrew John, a Private of Company I 3rd Tennessee Cavalry as having died in the incident. I believe many of the recovered deceased victims were buried near Memphis however he is not listed among the identified soldiers that were buried there. Pam Newhouse is an excellent authority on the Sultana. If you like I can try to obtain contact information for her. Bill Morris Flushing, MI

Denise, This may be a long shot, or it may be something you've already tried. However, you can call the reference desk of the Knox County TN Public Library at 865-215-8700. Ask them to look up your ancestor in volume 2 of TENNESSEANS IN THE CIVIL WAR, call number Ref 973.7468. (Note that volume 2 contains separate sections for Union and Confederate troops. If the librarian says your ancestor does not appear, confirm that he/she looked in the right section.) Carl Bridges 1st TN Infantry (USA) des

I'm hoping you may be able to shed some light on this person. My ggg grandfather Andrew Jackson Stephens (A.J.) I believe was a Union solider and from what I found out may have been a prisoner in either Andersonville or Cahala prison. I heard that he may had died on the Sultana disaster in 1867. This there a way to find out which prison he was in or a list of the dead from the Sultana. he never returned home. I found a few names but not sure=A. Stephens,prt Co D 1st Cav Virginia Dorthy.

I have some fragments of an 1893 newspaper from Huntingdon, TN called the The Owl. One article contained the following paragraph: "At a meeting of G.A.R. post on last Saturday, the following comrades were elected as officers for the ensuing year: J. Matt Neely, commander; J. M. Tate, S.V.C. ; J. W. Carter, J.V.C. ; J. D. Thompson, Chap.; Dr. E. D. Bostick, surg. ; S.A. Brown, officer of day; L. G. Ledsinger, G. ; J. F. Rogers and G. W.

I hope there are some listers out there with as much knowledge & passion about Civil War era boats as we've seen about POWs. There was a steemer named "Noble Ellis" that was sunk at Mill Springs (Nancy) KY after being used to ferry some CSA troops across the river. In the 1850s and into the war, there was a foundry / engine and boiler making establishment owner named Noble ELLIS who was a partner in Ellis & Moore, along with Christopher C. MOORE. Ellis & Moore reportedly supplied a few cannons along wit

Kevin, I had a gg-uncle Benjamin Johnson, from Davidson county,TN., who went to Civil War . According to records in the Davidson County Courthouse, he died in Davidson County. He was 48 years of age, nine children and a wife, He died in January of 1863, no military record has ever been found. Yet the family claims that Ben died in a Federal Prison in southern Illinois, as a prisoner of the Federal army. He was bound, hand and foot, and rats gnawed his body, severed vital arteries and he bled to

I hope that me and Kevin trading sabre swipes didn't turn anyone off. I usually try to stay civil when talking about a war that was so long ago but sometimes I pick up on a slight, intended or unintended, and don't always let it pass like I should. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I have recently discovered how much my Confederate ancestors truly suffered both during and after the war and I just can't let some statements pass without what I believe is correction or comment.

I wonder was the pain greater for the Confederate soldier than for a Union soldier when his leg was amputeted ?. Was the pain of hunger felt more by a Union soldier than a Confederate soldier?. Did the Confederate Mother hurt more than a Union Mother when she learn her son was dead?

I've enjoyed reading the posts lately, very informative. Today I went to a Genealogical library where they have book after book on the Civil War. I looked through the indexes of "Roll of Honor" where soldiers are buried at Natl. Cememteries. I looked at indexes for "War of the Rebellion" which are official records of reports and Correspondence. I didn't see my Columbus Lafayette Day or his brothers, Moses, James, or Richard. I do have some luck with Ancestry.com but there are so many soldiers by the
13. Re: [TN-CIVIL-WAR] Help, I'm still Lost [1]
Hello Denise, May I offer some suggestions. If you are looking for Confederates you will not normally find them buried in a National Cemetery. In most cases, Confederate dead left on a battlefield after a battle won by the union forces were usually buried in a mass grave. The names of Confederates that died in northern prison camps were often recorded and they may or may not have individual graves. The National Park Website will in reality be of little help in researching Confederates because Con
14. Re: [TN-CIVIL-WAR] What a Great List [1]
I have been reading all the emails coming in with great interest and soaking up all the informtion being given and appreciate both sides of the story. Both sides suffered but one thing to remember is that the Confederate states were invaded and that is the way they felt. They had hard feelings from the Federals taking over their land therefore young boys such as my gg grandfather signed up to protect their families from Union soldiers burning down their farms they worked so hard for. This is why the war was

Joyce, There are several B. Johnsons and Benjamin Johnsons listed in "Tennesseans in the Civil War". Some possible matches: B.D. Johnson , PVT B Co, 24th Inf (from Williamson Co, just south of Davidson) Benjamin Johnson - 2 Lt. D Co, 11th Cavalry - Originally from Lytle's Co. in Douglas' Battalion. No muster roll found. Lytle's Co. was raised in Rutherford Co, southeast of Davidson. Benjamin J. Johnson - Sgt B Co, 45th Inf - from Wilson Co, just east of Davidson B.H Johnson - PVt A Co. 4th

Speaking of the War's POW camps--- Rock Island Prison in Illinois was known by many as the "Andersonville of the North" http://www.bitsofblueandgray.com/august2003.htm The Confederate dead at Rock Island is searchable here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilrockis/cemetery/confed.htm One difference between Andersonville & Rock Island was that at Andersonville even the guards were starving and had pitiful rations. The Rock Island guards ate much better than their CSA prisoners. They were both horrific in their

Kevin: Realizing the amount of knowledge you have about Andersonville. I wonder if you have any information on the men that were held in the North POW Camps? I have a great grandfather, Jackson Smith Riggs, who seems to have disappeared in June of 1863 when his outfit was pulled into the 12 Confederate Calvary along with several other divisions along with one from Georgia. Nothing can be located after that date until the war was over and he was back in McMinn Co. TN along with his brother Samuel Leonidus

Hi Donna, Andersonville is the National POW site for all American POWS from all wars. This includes those Confederates held in Northern stockades. My job and interest here is not to focus only on what happened here but to remember all of those who died for what they believed in. I enjoy talking about the subject and exchanging information and ideas. I also don't mean to imply that any stockade North or South was a vacation land. I do wish that more documentaries would be made on the others be

My Benjamin J. JOHNSON, could be the one from Wilson county,Tn., he married Caroline Priscilla AUSTIN 16 Oct 1845. Benjamin and Caroline were very slender, and he was quite tall, as most all of the JOHNSON men were. If this is my Benjamin JOHNSON, I wonder if there would be any information that would connect him to my family?
