In response to the question about the "deceased" on the pension application, let me offer a few suggestions. I have copies numerous Tennessee pension applications over the years and have found the following: After the pension was granted there was a periodic review on some of the applications. The "deceased" may have been a response from a family member or possibly even the post office on the review request. Some of the death notices came from the United Confederate Veterans bivouacs. These are often found in the Confederate Veteran magazine. Sometimes the info came from county officials. Several of the ones I have read offer no additional information. Thew Texas records are the best, quite often with death date and burial place and family information. Tennessee records offer little unless the widow also applied for a pension. Would enjoy hearing from descendants of the First Tennessee Regiment members. I have most of the Lincoln County information but occasionally someone! died out of state and no Tennessee record exists. Mike

Thanks. This helps a lot. So the deceased could have been writtten on the application at any time after the 1899 date of application. If he was receiving a pension, this would have closed his file. They just didn't date the file when closed. OBR Swaner was estranged from his family and last wife may have separated or divorced him by 1899. He stated that one of his sons was deceased and the others had families to care for. This was to verify he was indigent, I guess, and not supported by any family. His last wife lived to 1923. Yes, TX does have great records. My mother's grandfather received a pension til 1916 and there are records of correspondance between the board & my grandfather requesting monies to bury Noah and a CSA stone. WAs hoping the Confederate Verteran woudl have enough info as to where OBR is buried so I could have a stone erected for him. family says he was buried in Elkmont Springs. Any ideas where a cemetery would be there? >From: <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [LCT] Confederate Veterans of Lincoln County >Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 22:17:02 -0400 > >In response to the question about the "deceased" on the pension >application, let me offer a few suggestions.

I have record of when and with what army Peter Himebaugh was recruited. Below; Thanks for visiting the Orphan Brigade Homepage and signing our guestbook. Co. E of the 9th Ky. Inf. was recruited in Lincoln Co., TN, and was mustered at Decatur, AL, in March 1862, and assigned to the 9th Ky. Inf. (which was at that time known as the 5th Ky. Inf.). The men of the company always wanted to be in a Tenn. regiment, so this company was transferred in December 1862 to Newman's 23rd Tennessee Battalion. (Co. F had a similar history, being recruited in Savannah, TN, and also transferred with Co. E.) While serving in the 5th/9th Ky. Inf., they fought at Shiloh, the defense of Vicksburg in 1862, and Baton Rouge. I do not have the subsequent history of these Tennessee companies after they transferred out of the Orphan Brigade. The Captains of Co. E as shown in the KY records were John R. Bright (wounded at Shiloh), and W. P. Simpson (elected 14 May 1862). Peter Hinebaugh [sic] is listed as a Pvt. in Co. E, enlisted 10 March 1862 in Lincoln Co., TN. (Source: "Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky, Confederate Kentucky Volunteers, War 1861-65" (Frankfort, 2 vols., 1915, 1918), Vol. 1, pp. 434-439) Family letters and records recall his return home after being gone two years. He had been wounded in Alabama and taken prisoner by Union Troops and to a hospital in Atlanta GA where his arm was amputated because of infection. Released at war's end as a POW on parole because he refused repatriation. Her returned to teaching school in Bellville, Lincoln Co, TN. After his 1st wife died, he remarried and later moved to Bedford TX to establish a school there. He taught but one year and died 1884 of an infection of the blood and is buried in a Church of Christ Cemetery in Bedford TX. His company of Lincoln Co Vets were known as the Old Man's Company and included several adjoining counties. His 2nd wife, Virginia Higgins Himebauch applied for widows of Tennessee Confederate Veterans pension. I have all applications and court records from Tn State Library. His Company was transferred to Newman's 23rd Tennessee Battalion before end of war. How could I find more of where and when he fought and with what army?

My ancestor from LCT was in same unit. I have a huge book on 5th KY, but is not easy to tell where they were. The guys in LCT did head to Shiloh first and I know they fought here in Chattanooga also. If you'll pass along his dates of service I might be able to give you some idea of where he was. Michaele ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles O.
