During an escape from the house this week (remind me to never again take vacation when the wife & kid are home!!!!!!!!), I was able to get over to the Archives and do some searching. For the first time I went through a couple of films of the Southern Claims Commission. During the scan through film 2, I found the deposition of I.M. Rose of Abingdon taken in support of the claim of Aron Hendriks of Abingdon. This was interesting enough that I have transcribed it and put it out on the site. Mr. Rose was an eyewitness to the Federal raid on Abingdon in which Capt. Wyatt was killed. His description defers slightly from The History of the 13th Regiment TN Volunteer Cavalry in that the authors, Scott & Angel, state that Capt. Wyatt was killed by citizens while Mr. Rose says Confederate soldiers shot him. Perhaps it was just a manner of semantics? Also, I transcribed a list of Officers of the 1st NC Battalion of Continental Troops, 9/1775-9/1778. This film or the source, or both, was in awful shape and necessitated more question marks than I like to put in a transcription. In addition, I was 90% through with the conversion to HTML when I realized I had not sorted the blessed thing alphabetically by surname. I may go back at a later date and redo it alphabetically. Both files can be found at my site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/ Click on Transcripts, then History and the links will be under the NEW section Well, back to work...the wife came down early this week and took really a good look at my work area. After letting out a screech that a scalp hungry Shawnee would have been proud of, she launched into a soliquoy were the recurring theme was "clean it up or get it out". Non-genealogists just don't understand <sigh>. Best of wishes, Paper cut Billy
