Checked two Civil War personnel databases and found this man in both--seemed a likely match as he had the same initial as the child and he was the only soldier in a Tennessee unit. William H. Grizzle Union  enlistment rank: Priv State served: TN Survived War         Grizzle, William H. Union Co B, 1st Regiment, Tennessee Independent Vidette Cavalry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ One database lists only four Harbargers--two Union from IN and two Confederate with one in a GA unit and the other: Hardbarger, William Confederate Co K, 16th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (Logwood's) The other database does not have TN Confederate service yet posted. Find many more Grizzles in another Index of Tennessee Civil War Soldiers at http://www.researchonline.net/tncw/page5.htm Also Harbargers. Elizabeth would be eligible for a pension as the widow of a soldier even if her husband died after the war. When does she appear as a widow? She might be found in the 1890 Special Census if it was before that date. Not all widows were counted whether remarried or not has been my finding. Could Elizabeth be Sarah's mother? What is Elizabeth's birth date? Posting all three census records you found might be more enlightening. Good luck, Peg White Sulfsted
