I found the following link in an article by Jessie Sturdivant, in the September 2003 issue of "Morgan Memories" the publication of the Morgan County, Alabama Genealogical Society: http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us/slcl/sc/scc/scc-geolist.htm There is a geographical index on this web page that is divided by state and then County with an alphabetical list of claimants from each county. There are quite a number of people listed from Madison County, Tennessee. The article states that the files "consist of depositions from the claimant, his/her witnesses, and a list of articles/property 'taken' during the War Between the States, for which the claimant wishes to be reimbursed." A nice description of the claims plus a sample claim application can be found at: http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us/slcl/sc/scc/scc-main.htm Laurel Baty
