This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xhC.2ACE/764.1.1 Message Board Post: Not true, there are others including John W. Thorn's brother E.C. Thorn and his uncle Elburn Perry Thorn who was in Company E Roddey's 4th Alabama Cavalry. If you have been reading the info in the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System I have found it to be incomplete and inaccurate. John W. Thorn in question is listed in this system as the one in the 57th regiment, this is because the 35th was combined with the 57th near the end of the war. However John W. Thorn had transferred in 1863 to Roddey's 4th Cavalry. I have his pension application dated 1921 which so states. The problem has been in finding him in a regiment or company at Shiloh since the 35th and the 4th were both formed after Shiloh. I now believe he to have been in an Alabama independent cavalry company at Shiloh, either the Franklin Scouts or the Tishomingo Rangers and then after Shiloh joined the 35th then transferred to Roddey's 4th where the Captain of Company L, John Newsom, was his old Captain in the Franklin Scouts and where his Uncle Elburn Perry Thorn was in Company E. They all went to Pond Spring (General Fightin Joe Wheeler's Plantation)Alabama to be paroled, the 57th (incl. the 35th) surrendered in North Carolina.

I contacted Alan J. PITTS for info on my gGrandfather and he located all the records. I then ordered copies of them from him. His email is pittsaj@hotmail.com . His service is quick, no forms to fill in and he can give you a lot of background info and discuss the history with you, all for one price. I was quite satisfied with his work and he is a very informed person on the Civil War. You can also go to http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm , enter his name and designate Confederate or Union and click on submit. This will give you his regiment and then you'll know that much anyway and your search will be on the way to being solved. This won't give you his personal military records, but will get you started. Good luck on your search. Will TWi9247471@aol.com wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
