Are there any Bakers in the Pension records? Ann

Hi David, In the book you previously mentioned is there any mention of *Winchester, *Kennedy, *Lee, Brown, Austin or *O'Neal?

I found Martha in the 1870 census, 3rd C. D. Hardin Co. She apparently lived up on Turkey Creek. I didn't see her right off in the 1880 census.

David here is more about the pension record: For anyone who has viewed them, the Civil War pension records can be an exciting find. All sorts of documents could possibly lie within. For me, researching slave ancestors, it is particularly rewarding because sometimes they have information that simply wouldn't exist anywhere else. For example, they often take depositions, and for former slaves this often includes former masters, former wives, all children and birth dates and dates of slave marriages, all difficult things to ever find. So I have been slowly going through them looking for African American Hardin Countians many of whom seem to have joined the 55th US Colored Regiment at Corinth, MS. I located Isaac Harbour's file. He enlisted in June 1863 but died from Smallpox in May 1864. In 1879 his wife, Martha is applying for a pension and she describes how they belonged to Elisha Harbour.There are several witnesses, since many ex-slaves did not have formal "proof" of birth or marriages. John A. Smith , the Postmaster of Economyy in 1879 is vouching for Martha as well as Lee Smith, the popular black barber with a shop in Savannah. The most fascinating thing about this file is that Elisha Harbour's children, 2 sons- James G. and Elisha, as well as their sister Elizabeth all give depositions to support Martha's claim. Elizabeth (Gant) even says she was present at the birth of all of their children. Martha successfully wins her application for claim and is paid at the rate of $10/month, with backpay to day after the death of her husband.

Family, This is the first time I've heard of this place. I recently obtained a Civil War pension document and this is where the claimant was living. Even the postmaster filed an official statement. Where was this place? Does it still exist? Robyn
