Interesting. There was a program on the History channel recently called "80 Acres of Hell" about Fort Donelson and Camp Douglas. My grandmother, Emma Arnett, born in Mechanicsville, TN, moved with her mother, Rhoda C. Melton, to Navarro county, Texas after her father died, probably about in 1913. Her father was Dr. James E. Arnett. I haven't been able to find his death and burial information, but have found a lot about him. Dr. Arnett was born in Henderson County, KY in 1830. Rhoda was his third wife. The first wife was Zany Grizzle, second was Sarah Hendrixson. Dr. Arnett had smallpox about the time of the Civil War, and that affected his eyesight. Anyway, Emma met James DeGraffenreid Miles Jr.and married him in Kerens, Texas. Rhoda died in 1914, and is buried in Kerens. J.D. Jr.'s father was James DeGraffenreid Miles, born in Lowndes county, Alabama to Aquilla Miles and Elizabeth P.Davis. James married Ellen L.Day in Russell County, Alabama in 1853, and they moved to Texas. He farmed at Fairfield in Freestone county. When the Civil War came along, he served in the 7th Texas Infantry. He was captured at Ft. Donelson and was a POW at Camp Douglas. I gather that those people were let go as he went on to fight in other battles including Raymond, Miss. He is mentioned in a couple of books and I found more information about him that was taken from his service record. I also have his Amnesty Oath. We did have his sword, when I was a child. But, I took it to school one day to show my history teacher and my classmates. Soon, we took it to my aunt's as my mother feared my little sister would find the hiding place for the sword and hurt herself. After my parents and my aunt and her husband died, and things were split up between my cousins, one cousin took the sword, and distanced himself from the family. I've heard that he may have sold the sword to a collector. The cousin doesn't respond, and neither does the collector. After the War, James returned to farming. He bought land in Navarro county, and farmed that until his death. Then his son, J.D. Jr. and Emma Arnett worked that farm until about the time of WWII, when they moved to Ft. Worth. J.D. Jr. and the oldest daughter worked in an aircraft plant as part of the war effort. We used to visit the farm when I was small, then in Ft. Worth, in later years. After the Civil War, other members of J.D. Miles' and his wife's family also moved to Texas to about the same area in Freestone county. Three of Dr. Arnett's sons also moved to Texas. Sam worked for the railroad in Tennessee and also worked for the railroad in Texas. At one time, he lived near Emma in Powell, Texas, and died in Hearne, Texas, which was only 7 miles from my hometown. I don't remember ever seeing him, though. Two other brothers lived in Navarro county where they preceded Emma and Rhoda. I've found some Arnetts there who were at a reunion where my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother used to take me. We're trying to figure out how we might be related. There are also Miles and Meltons in that area. So, there are some more people who were Gone To Texas, and we're still here. On my father's side of the family, those people came to Texas from Prussia and Sweden around 1870. I would like to find death and burial information about Dr. Arnett, and more about that family. I had a newspaper clipping from an old paper by Miss Mary Reams that was about "a family friend", Dr. Arnett. At the time I found the clipping, I didn't even know his name. He was a life member of Short Mountain Methodist Church, and I've found him on the roll, along with Rhoda and others. Some of Dr. Arnett's family are buried in the Gunter Grizzle Cemetery. I've had a couple of people to look for me, but no one can find Dr. Arnett. I've read that there are no death records in Tennessee for 1913, so, if he died then, I'm out of luck with records. I hoped that there might be something in a newspaper, at least. I haven't any idea of when that column by Miss Mary Reams was published or what paper it was in. Someone found a deed for me, dated Aug.1, 1913, which gives the disposition of his property, lists children, spouses, and locations. But, it only says that he was "recently deceased". Strangely, the person sent that to me on Aug.1, 2005-92 years later on that date. One of his sons, Joe, died a few days after signing the deed, Aug. 13.

This has been really interesting to hear stories about Cannon County in the War. My own ancestors, Martin L. Blair and Sarah Turney had left Cannon County about 1848 for Searcy County, Arkansas, another rocky, hilly location. Martin's brother William was married to Sarah's sister Elizabeth, and they left for Searcy County as well. Other Turney family members were already living there. Anyway, Searcy county was very divided in opinion over the war. Martin is mentioned in a book by a Union officer as being a judge at a trial of a Union sympathizer. Our family legend is that he was later killed by "a bushwhacker". William, on the other hand, was conscripted into the CSA army, but deserted. He was later caught shooting at the CSA and tried for treason and executed. Hard, hard times. Hope we don't ever see these again! - Heather http://surgerysupport.uchicago.edu/hblair/

Okay, folks. This is what I got from one of my Mormon friends concerning the microfilming of old records. I had just thought that some elderly people who liked to travel around and look at old records, probably took pictures or wrote down the information, in random places they might visit. Dumb me. I learned something-again. If those locations are worried about losing records, have them contact the local Mormon church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - look in the white pages of the phone book)and let them know the situation. Have them ask the church if they would have someone come to preserve the record on microfilm. The LDS church has full time missionaries that do that sort of thing. bob So this is what to do about the records. Someone in that area can contact the proper person or people and relay this information. I'm way down here in Texas and don't know anyone up that way. Hope this helps. After seeing all the things lost in Katrina and other storms, fires, and even vandalism and theft in homes, and even a hailstorm that bent a vent pipe in my utility room. That allowed rain to come under the roof and leaked in the utility room, kitchen, and a bedroom closet. That closet happened to be where we had a lot of old pictures stored. Ruined so many treasured pictures. So, I've been trying to scan, send pictures to relatives via e-mail, put things on CD and send copies to relatives in various places, and put some of them online in places like county Gen Web sites. That way, they can be, hopefully, retrieved in case of computer crashes or other losses. I have a copy of a Civil War era journal, kept by my great-grandfather's sister. Her granddaughter had copies made for her family, then donated the journal and her own notes to the Alabama Dept. of Archives and History. This was actually the sixth journal she kept. The others were lost when she and her husband were moving, by wagon. The wagon overturned in a creek and she lost all the other journals, except the one she had in her purse. I can't help but thinking that I would love to have seen her other journals. She quit writing in the last journal a few days before she died at age 29. Anyway, I feel that preserving old records, newspapers, photos, letters, etc. are very important, and have a sense of urgency due to the fact that so many are fading, deteriorating, or being just plain lost.

Dear Kevin, Hello, saw the mention of the Battle of Fort Donelson and had to respond. I only live 20 minutes from this battle site here in Tennessee and I also have a 3rd. great-grandfather Oliver Coonrod that fought for the north at this battle and my husband had 3rd. great-grandfather that fought for the south and was wounded and taken prisoner of war. I like to tease my husband that my ancestor shot his!! LOL!! Anyway, there is a great book that I have called "Cry Havoc" by C. Wallace Cross that is about the 49th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment 1861-1865 and the battle of Fort Donelson. It is very good and goes into detail about the war. Thought I would just pass that along.

For 140 years, my Mother's Tinsley Line never knew what happened to him. He joined in Glasgow, Ky to a CSA Cal. Unit. The Family knew he had fought at Ft. Donelson and never heard from him after the War. A distant relative, who was a Tinsley and a reacher, had searched all of 81 years for him. In January, I had told her I would try to find him. His name was Chrsitopher C. Tinsley. He was noted in the Unit Registration as C.C. Tinsley also. I used " Google " and typed in Christopher Tinsley and found several mentioned. Spent a lot of time and page after page. Then I had typed C.C. Tinsley and KY in the Google line and low and behold, it popped right up. Buried in a Confederate Cemetery in Okalona. Mississippi. Had the exit Unit and Company on his marker also. So, you might be surprised to find some of these Soldiers from Cannon County being buried somehwhere else. I had noticed sveral in the list were listed as dying as aPrisioner. So they might be buried in another State.

Danny, Kevin et.al., I have never seen this book. I have a copy of the 1982 "Tennessee County Histories, Cannon Co.", but it is not the same. I don't see how anyone could simply reprint the old 1936 book and then copyright a book that was never copyrighted, in the 1st place. ???? Jess Lewis

Jasper Newton Patton from Bradyville was conscripted into the CSA. When the war was over he signed the loyalty oath, but that seemed not to be enough to allow him to live a normal life back in Bradyville. Must have been hard times with neighbor not trusting or working with neighbor. He wrote the following letter to President Johnson, asking for a pardon, and received it. Here is a trascript of his letter. Murfreesboro Tennessee, Aug. 14th 1865 To his Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of US Most Excellent Sir I hope you will excuse this intrusion upon your time, when so many important affairs are pressing upon you, but I have received important favors at you hand which encourages me to apply again. These favors were granted ten years ago, when you were Governor of Tennessee in regard to a friend who was arrested & thrown into prison on the evidence (& that by deposition) of a monomaniac, & was released on a Habeas Corpus, & afterwards a requisition made by the Gov. Of Alabama upon your Excellency for his body. Which requisition was revoked when the facts were ascertained. The favor I now ask is for myself & the benefit of my family. It is of no use to reiterate the many turbulent scenes through which we have had to ____, within the last five years, for they are familiar to you. I tried to stay at home & make a support for myself & family, but in the fall of 1862 there come a conscript that took me as it did thousands of others, from a helpless & unprotected family, from which, I never got away until the surrender of Gen. J. E. Johnson, after which I returned to my home & made application at Nashville on the 20th day of May to Provost Marshall General, for the proper paper be come a citizen, with a citizens right, to transact & carry on business for the support of my family, according to the Presidents Proclamation, when a document, (a true copy of which is herewith sent) was given me. Many civil officers & citizens contend that it gives me no rights or protection. Now what I desire is a free pardon from you if this is not one, for I have a large helpless family dependent on my feeble efforts (for I have long been an invalid by rheumatism). (And although I was kept out nearly three years, they never got me to bear or fire a gun.). And it is necessary that a man should try & support those dependant upon him, which he cannot do, without protection by the laws of the land. Therefore to know my duty and do it, has caused me to trouble you with this communication, which I hope you will answer I am very respectfully, Your humble servant J. N. Patton Stamped: “Received from Dept. Of Justice December 18, 1894 R & R 402985”

Maybe the historical society would love to have it in computer form and availablel on the Cannon Cnty website? Is there someone to ask? On the otherhand, if they have copies for sale, let us all know and some of us would want to purchase them? Maybe they'd approve of both selling and sharing on the web. Who is incharge of the Historical Soc. now?

Kevin, You note that Cannon counted furnished soldiers for the Tennessee 18th during the Civil War. My gggrandfather Jordan Blansett reported on the 1890 Veteran's Census that he was with the Tennessee 18th but I have been unable to find him on any record. I note he is not listed in the privates you have listed. Is there a complete list anywhere of soldiers with the 18th?

I thoght once of staying in my direct line of Timothy but then I thought possibly Maggies decendantantts might have info on her parents James & Elizabath.So decidd neeed to research all the children

Thanks ! Hey, thanks for the good service on the Death Certs !! It really was Brother against Brother. My Tinsley line came from Allen County, KY. One was Confederate and about six of them was Union. The War was bad enough, but like Danny and Jess said, the aftermath of the War was terrible. It makes a person wonder how they even survived. By God's Grace !!! I am like Danny, the War today is explained it was about Slavery !! That was not true. It was about States Rights !!!!! The South did not lose, both sides LOST !! People are not told that 25 % of the Southern Slave Owners were Freed Black Slaves ! Everybody wants to make the Slave Issue out of it. People need to read Letters from Robert E. Lee prior to the War. The Greatest General of the South, yet he did not believe in Slavery. But, he enlisted in his state of Virginia to support his homeland and it's rights. But yet, he is depicted as a General who lost the War. Thanks Katy !!

I will go ahead and make the rest of the List. I noted in the Book, it was taken from the Muster Rolls. I think it would be good for everyone to have. There is a lot of names in there. I have a good resource to use for Civil War Soldiers. I had planned on making the list, then posting it on here. Then use that list to research the history of those names. There are Pension Lists and also Prisioner Lists. I think Danny can tell you. I think it was John Reed. He was from Cannon County, captured and died at Rock Island, Illinois and is buried there. It would make a good refrence for everyone, so I will go ahead and do this. --- Jess Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > Danny, Kevin et.al., > I have never seen this book.

Jordon Blansett Regiment Name 33 Alabama Infantry. Side Confederate Company H Soldier's Rank_In Private Soldier's Rank_Out Private Alternate Name Jordon/Blaucet Notes Film Number M374 roll 4 Alabama-33rd Infantry Regiment was organized at Pensacola, Florida, in April, 1862. Its members were raised in Coffee, Butler, Dale, Montgomery, and Covington counties. The unit was ordered to Mississippi, then Kentucky, where it took an active part in the conflicts at Munfordville and Perryville. Brigaded under Generals Wood, Lowrey, and in 1865, Shelley, the 33rd participated in the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Murfreesboro to Atlanta, moved with Hood to Tennessee, and fought at Bentonville. It lost eighty-two percent of the 500 engaged at Perryville, and reported 100 casualties at Murfreesboro and 149 at Chickamauga. On December 14, 1863, the regiment totalled 536 men and 385 arms. Many were lost during the Atlanta Campaign and of the 285 at Franklin, sixty-seven percent were disabled. Very few surrendered in North Carolina. The regiment was commanded by Colonels Samuel Adams and Robert F. Crittenden, and Lieutenant Colonels James H. Dunkin and Daniel H. Horn. Associated unit: 18th Battalion Partisan Rangers, formerly Gunter's 1st Battalion, was organized during the summer of 1862 in Jackson County. Composed of five companies, the unit served under Forrest and skirmished along the Tennessee River. In November it was dismounted by consent and called Gibson's and 18th or 21st Battalion, then was attached to the 33rd Alabama Regiment without losing its organization. Majors John H. Gibson and S.C. Williams were in command --- Ginny & Frederick Langrehr <[email protected]> wrote: > Kevin, > > You note that Cannon counted furnished soldiers for > the Tennessee 18th > during the Civil War.

Probably meant Ft. Donelson, Battle of. This is one of the early battles of the War. I think most people in TN can relate to this. I had a CSA Soldier in my mother's family in it. For 140 years, my Mother's Tinsley Line never knew what happened to him. He joined in Glasgow, Ky to a CSA Cal. Unit. The Family knew he had fought at Ft. Donelson and never heard from him after the War. A distant relative, who was a Tinsley and a reacher, had searched all of 81 years for him. In January, I had told her I would try to find him. His name was Chrsitopher C. Tinsley. He was noted in the Unit Registration as C.C. Tinsley also. I used " Google " and typed in Christopher Tinsley and found several mentioned. Spent a lot of time and page after page. Then I had typed C.C. Tinsley and KY in the Google line and low and behold, it popped right up. Buried in a Confederate Cemetery in Okalona. Mississippi. Had the exit Unit and Company on his marker also. So, you might be surprised to find some of these Soldiers from Cannon County being buried somehwhere else. I had noticed sveral in the list were listed as dying as aPrisioner. So they might be buried in another State.

Thank you so very much.Where is this Donaldson PLace entioned in these papers ? my Gr_GR Greandfather SAm Drinkard mentions Donnaldson PLace in his civil war records

Jess described the rocky soil of Cannon perfectly. One of my GGFs was plowing, it bucked on striking a rock, hit him in the stomach causing eventually fatal injuries. If you compare that w/ the fertile black soil of Ellis Co (just south of Dallas), you know why the great exodus. My paternal GF became a prosperous cotton farmer pioneering the use of terraces for soil conservation and using tractors early. Three of his 4 sons stayed on the farm in the immediate area, only my dad bucking the trend by going into business -- yet I was still born there. Being further away from most of the bitter battles, from what I can learn, reconstruction was not as vicious in TX as it was in TN. These people came to TX because of the opportunities offered, and for the most part they made the best of it, The spirit of entrepreneurship they brought contributed greatly to the enormous growth we have enjoyed.
