Have an AR pension application from Charles Anthony SPEER b. 19 Dec 1845 TN, served in the 3rd Tennessee Confederate Regt. Inf., discharged 1 Mar 1865. SPEER was granted a pension in Arkansas. SPEER had been wounded while in service, "Shell wound in the left leg about midway between the knee and heel. Also, a saber wound in the forehead." After discharge from the service Mr. SPEER married Sarah Ann ROWLAND in Tennessee and later they moved to Marion County Arkansas where they raised a family and Mr SPEER died 7 Aug 1933. Small ceremony at the Flippin, Marion, Arkansas cemetery on 26 Dec 1998, gathering of family and friends, to place a Confederate Marble Memorial stone. Appreciate any information on SPEER and his service in this Giles County Confederate Unit. Can find no record of his entry date or information on who his parents might have been. Regards Don Ott
