1898 Confederate Pensioners Itawamba County, Mississippi N.C. Bibby ********************8 MCKNIGHT CIVIL WAR LETTERS Concert Hall Hospital Ward No. 8 2nd Division Montgomery, Alabama October 18, 1864 Mrs. Martha M. McKnight James W. Lett is here with me and also one of the widow Shipp's sons from Dudleyville. Tell sis that her cousin Joseph Bibby from Coosa is here. He is not very sick. He can go about but looks very pale and is quite weak. I have a plenty to do to keep me going all the time. We have sixty patients in our ward and only four nurses and one matron to wait on the ward. You may reasonably suppose that I have but little time to rest. I do not know how long I shall stay here but I will have to stay till the Dr. discharges me and orders me to my command. I think I shall come by home when I start to Virginia. It is rumored in the streets today that Hood has captured Dalton and Resacca with a great number of prisoners but I put no confidence in the report. I remain as Ever yours CPC McKnight ************* Applicants from Smith County in the Confederate Pension Application Files Texas State Archives Bibby, Hester M. 41762, Claimant: Bibby, Hester M., Pension Number: 41762 Husband: James Hardy, Pension Number: 23359 **************** Harris Co Fortunate Drawers in 1832 Land & Gold Lotteries Columbus, Georgia Newspaper Clippings, Columbus Enquirer, Vol 1, 1832-1834, by Elizabeth Evans Kilbourne.
