Hi Everyone, Well, after the old computer crashed and down for a couple of weeks. And of course LOST EVERYTHING, I thought perhaps I would send out some names I found among my g-g-grandfathers Civil War pension papers. Perhaps some of the men listed will be of help to someone else's research. My g-g-grandfather MARSHAL A. LYLES served as a private in Company A 52nd Ky. Mounted Infantry, commanded by CAPT. SAMUEL J. RICHARDS. His wife, RACHEL MANURA CRABTREE, daughter of RICHARD CRABTREE & MATILDA (WHITE ?). Married in Feb. 1865 by Justice of the Peace, HALEY YOUNG, Macon Co. Since marriage records were destroyed in court house fire. Those attesting to their marriage were HARLIN LAW and J. A. LYLES . Notary Public on papers filed 8 Dec. 1915 was E. W. HARPER, of Macon Co On papers dated 8 Oct. 1888 on the condition of his health, signed by HEZEKIAH COOK & DANIEL HUNTSMAN. Papers dated 27 May 1912, two witnessed (I assume his signature) were ROXIE HARPER AND ADA HARPER. Physician's affidavit signed by DR. JOSEPH A. CRABTREE, Barren, Ky. (Rachel's brother) Papers dated 24 May 1889 affidavit to his health, and also that they had made a tobacco crop with Marshal in 1866 signed by CALAHILL M. (X) MORGAN. Witnessed by: ROBERT MOORE and WESLEY THOMAS. One single page with: DANIEL HUNTSMAN, 2nd Lt. Co. A. 52nd Ky. Vol. Mntd. Inf. Affidavit dated 15 Dec. 1888 as to Marshal's health, by DANIEL HUNTSMAN. He also referred to them being in Lexington Ky. about April 1864 and Daniel had taken Marshal to the dr. Dr. H. H. ATTER, Asst. Surgeon of the Regiment. Affidavit dated 24 May 1889 by JOHN H. (X) HANES. Wittnessed by: R. MOORE & MAX GATEWOOD. Referred to John & Marshal being in Alabama in the Fall of 1864. Affidavit dated 13 May 1889 by WILLIAM N. (X) COOK. Wittnessed by: D. (?) E. BROWN & DANIEL HUNTSMAN. WM. COOK refers to himself "as a farmer and resides on my farm in Allen Co., Ky and within seven miles of the claimant, Marshal A. Lyles, who resides across the state line in Macon Co. Tenn. and I have so resided & about the same distance from him nearly ever since his discharge." The men listed above all signed their names, except those marked with their X. Anyone else have papers you have acquired with names or little tidbits of information? If so tell us about them. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday. >From the wet red earth of Okla. Twila Lyles Taylor
