Therefore, your Richard Thompson was virtually certain <BR>to be Union.<BR><BR>Also, following are unit listings from Bradley Co TN; & the Union 4th <BR>Cavalry, Company E was a Bradley Co Union unit.<BR><BR>BRADLEY<BR>Confederate<BR>5TH-MCCLELLAN-CAV, CO A, BECAME A, 2ND ASHBY REG<BR>1ST-ROGERS0 CAV, CO C, BECAME H, 63RD INF<BR>1ST-ROGERS0 CAV CO I, BECAME D, 5TH CAV<BR>29TH INF, CO A<BR>36TH INF, CO B, C, D, E, F, AND G<BR>37TH INF, CO G<BR>43RD INF, CO I<BR>62ND INF, CO A AND E<BR>---<BR>Union<BR>1ST CAV, CO F, I, K AND L<BR>3RD CAV, CO G<BR>4TH CAV, CO E<BR>5TH CAV, CO A<BR>10TH CAV, CO E AND I<BR>5TH MI, CO A THROUGH K<BR>5TH INF, CO G<BR><BR>If you go to this site -<BR>http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/<BR>under 'soldiers', you can search for names recorded in the the compiled <BR>service records. I find the following in the Union 4th Cavalry, Company E:<BR>Asbury C. Thompson<BR>John Thompson<BR>John H. Thompson<BR>Timothy L. Thompson<BR>John Tompson<BR>The problem with searching this site is that it doesn't allow for <BR>spelling variations; so if there is some slight mis-spelling, you don't <BR>see it. You can see a regiment history & a complete name listing for the <BR>Union 4th Cavalry regiment by going to the 'Regiments' sections at this <BR>site; however, you can only see 20 names/page, starting with A, and <BR>there are over 1900 names in the regiment. (You used to be able to <BR>download a complete regiment listing in Excel format at this site, but <BR>they've removed that feature.)<BR><BR>Easier yet, just go to this site which is dedicated to the Union 4th <BR>Cavalry:<BR>http://www.rootsweb.com/~tn4cav/<BR>http://www.rootsweb.com/~tn4cav/roster4e.html<BR>As you may note, there is a 'Richard Thomas' listed in Company E, <BR>although he was from McMinn Co.<BR><BR>Have you checked to see if your Richard received a pension?<BR><BR>Note that the discharge date of 7-24-1865 doesn't 'fit' the discharge <BR>date of the regiment. Not a certain sign, but it is a clue that <BR>something isn't fitting.<BR><BR>Bill Allen<BR>West Bend, WI<BR>(descendant of vets of Confederate Smith's 4th/8th Tn Cavalry and<BR>Starnes'-McLemore's 4th TN Cavalry)<BR><BR><BR><BR>4th-tennessee-cavalry-request@rootsweb.com wrote:<BR> > Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:43:59 -0500<BR> > From: "Wanda Ingram" <ogeebt@brightok.net><BR> > Subject: [4TH-TENNESSEE-CAVALRY] Searching for Richard Thompson , Co.<BR> > E, 4th.

On Saturday, April 7, 2007, volunteers <BR>throughout the country will work together to clean and repair the grounds at <BR>over 100 <BR>Civil War sites. Last year, approximately 4,000 volunteers played a vital <BR>role in sustaining these parks, providing more than 12,000 hours of service.<BR><BR>Helping hands are needed everywhere for a wide variety of short and long term <BR>projects, providing interesting and rewarding volunteer opportunities for <BR>individuals, couples, schools, families, corporations, citizen groups and <BR>service <BR>organizations. Clubs and organizations can help with specific park <BR>improvements: trail renovation, tree planting, stream restoration, litter <BR>cleanup, minor <BR>repairs and more. The event is also perfect for Scout troop service projects <BR>or corporate team-building efforts.<BR><BR>Without the help of volunteers, trash accumulates in these natural areas, <BR>harming wildlife, polluting lakes and rivers, and detracting from the beauty <BR>of <BR>your community. This event is a fun and effective way to improve the natural <BR>environment in your local community. Thanks to your donated time and skills, <BR>your favorite state park can see improvements now instead of sometime in the <BR>future.<BR><BR>At each site, volunteers will get a free t-shirt and have the opportunity to <BR>hear historians tell them about the land they are helping to preserve. Plan <BR>to <BR>join fellow preservationists on Saturday, April 7, 2007 at a site near you <BR>for a day of history and hard work. <BR><BR>Civilwar.org<BR>Cut and paste the url above for contact info for your state.<BR>Click on "Park Day" on the right hand side of the webpage<BR>Then scroll down to the bottom and click on the link to take you to the info <BR>for each state.<BR> <BR>If anyone has a problem please let me know and I'll send you the direct link <BR>and assist you as much as possible.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. <BR> Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.<BR><BR> PBurne1063@aol.com 2007-03-17T12:55:44-06:00 http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/4TH-TENNESSEE-CAVALRY/2006-09/1158894323 This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.<BR><BR>Classification: Military<BR><BR>Message Board URL:<BR><BR>http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HKC.2ACIAE/7<BR><BR>Message Board Post:<BR><BR>NEW MILITARY MSG BOARD: U.S. Medal of Honor Citations<BR> <BR>A new military message board exists for research on military personnel who were awarded the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor for heroic service in wartime.
