Debra Maddox Wilson Greenback,Tn Response: The only reason I am answering this is that: Andrew Tribble and his wife are my *redundant ancestors* [that's what my computer program calls them]. My second great-grandparents, however, descended from that family, had left for Texas before the outbreak of the Civil War. May I suggest you do this: Do a google.com search for *kentucky in the civil war* Some libraries are fortunate to have a copy of an OLD book called The Orphan Brigade. I have not immersed myself in that book, but an acquaintance of mine found her ancestor in that book and was able to confirm a family tradition. Maybe google.com will produce some info about the Orphan Brigade. I think they were called the Orphan Brigade because they got no support from the Kentucky government, which was called a *border* state, if I am not mistaken. Good luck! From which of the MANY Tribbles are you descended? Oh, yes, I did a Title Search on the Family History Library Catalog [www.familysearch.org] The link to the catalog is on the lower right of the opening screen. (Ignore the blanks, but later you may want to go back and play around with filling in the blanks) Search for this title: Tribble family You will find listed a book compiled sometime ago by John Keith Rozendahl. You are in luck. This hefty book has been put on 10 microfiche and can be ordered through your nearby LDS family history center/ Each microfiche will cost you 15 cents apiece. The index to the book will be on the last frames of the microfiche. I see Keith has published an addendum, which is the first item to come up on the screen. I did not check to see whether it has been filmed or fiched. Check that also. The nice things about microfiche produced by the FHLibrary in Salt Lake City: The microfiche are inexpensive (in general, although some collections run into the hundreds!!! Such as the Pennsylvania Archives!!! The microfiche generally are retained at your local FHC so that you can refer to them again and again. I don't remember whether Keith concentrates on military service of the various Tribbles, but take a look at his writings. If you are fortunate enough to be near a LARGE university library, you may be able to take a look at some of the Draper Manuscripts, compiled by Lyman C. Draper and held by the Historical Society of Wisconsin. A few interviews about Tribbles of Kentucky in the Kentucky Papers part of the Draper Mss. E.W.Wallace
