My gg-grandfather was James Hartley, III. He was in the Union Army and has a GAR symbol on his grave at Martin Cemetery in Cedar Co. Military service: He enrolled in the Civil War Union army at Stockton on November 1, 1863 in Company M. 15th Regiment Missouri Cavalry and was honorably discharged at Springfield, Missouri June 30, 1865, as 8th Sergeant. I think the Hartley brothers were about evenly split during the war--half Union and half Confederate.

My great-great-grandfather, James B. Crawford was a Union man who served in the Missouri Militia. My understanding is that his brother-in-law served with "Shelby's Raiders" on the side of the Confederacy. James died after his mother's home was burned by "bushwhackers" in Oct. 1863. Transcripts of a letter written by him shortly before his death and two written by his mother after the family fled Cedar Co. in May 1864 can be found on the Cedar Co. page http://www.rootsweb.com/~mocedar/index.htm Click on the link to "Letters...1865...Pictures" on the Cedar Co. page.

Worthington, born in North Carolina March 2, 1829, died Cedar County April 7, 1901. He and his wife Nancy Harmon Worthington arrived in Cedar Conty sometime between 1850, when they showed up on a census in Greene, Tennessee, and 1870, when they appear on a Cedar County census. The couple is buried in Herriman Chapel Cemetery (twp 36). Robert was said to be a Methodist minister. I am his great great grandson, and am curious to know of this, and his civil war activities. Robert Worthington is listed as having served in the 13th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (Gore's) of the CSA. I don't know if this is accurate, although I can find no other Robert Worthington in Tennessee at that time who was of military age. Thanks..... Rogers Worthington, pianotwo@aol.com
