Hello. I am researching the Civil War regiment 4th Tennessee Cavalry (Union), and in Co K of that regiment there was a soldier named DANIEL BATES. He was b abt 1835 at Cherokee Co., Georgia, and enlisted April 22, 1864 at Nashville, TN. At that time he was described as follows: age 28, 5' 4" tall, dark complexion, dark eyes, dark hair, a cabinetmaker by profession. He was promoted May 1, 1864 to Sergeant. He survived the war, and in July 1888 applied for a veteran's pension. This was apparently not granted, but there was a minor dependant's pension granted later on. Would appreciate any information about this soldier, and his family. I will be obtaining copies of the pension application documents from the National Archives, and I will be including the information contained therein in a book which I am writing about the soldiers of Co K, in which my great-great-grandfather Thomas F. Blalock also served. Thanks Jessie Blalock http://users.rootsweb.com/~tn4cav/index.html
