Queet: Have you tried --- Cyndislist.com ? It has worlds of info. Just scroll down and you can find pensions, ship lists, all kinds of things.

One thing I discovered that I had not known before when I was reading through some information about Confederate pensions ... they were not awarded to everyone who served, nor to everyone who was wounded. They were only awarded to those who had no other means of support. If your ancestor fought and then came home to his farm .. he probably had enough support that he would not have qualified for a pension. <A HREF="http://genealogy.traveller.com/genealogy/">Traveller Southern Families </A> This website has a list of links .. and one of them is for a list of ALL Confederate soldiers .. shows digital images of their registry cards with their name, rank and company on them. If I remember .. the place they came from (or where they signed up) is listed, also. Might be worth a look! Hugs! Maggie

Ladies .. Saw your interesting discussion about finding resources on Cyndi's List online. While it is a wonderful website, chock filled with information databases and goodies .. I have found that there is so much there that I actually have trouble navigating around in it. BUT !!! The other day, in our Public Library, I discovered a BOOK that is like a telephone directory .. but it's strictly for the Cyndi's List Website. It was several HUNDRED pages of small print .. and every single link was listed with the url and what it was. It is divided into categories and subcategories .. and some things are listed more than once, because they actually fit into more than one category. I took this book out and sat down with a notebook and listed out about 20 pages worth of urls and links to check .. many of which I had never seen on the website. They're THERE, all right .. once you know how to find them. This book helped me to learn how. My suggestion is that you check and see if your own library has a copy or if they can interloan one for you to use. Spend some hours with it and make up your own list .. because there's a LOT of really good stuff buried in there. The book is available for purchase on the List .. it's about $50. Would I buy one? No. But would I take it out again and go through it again? Absolutely yes. Hugs!! Maggie

Hello:) Go to TNGen Web Project Tennesseans in the Civil War-you can print out a little two+ page about your specific Union Unit. Go to mailto:[email protected] He was listed as having very detailed information on the 4th TN Cavalry,Co.C. I can go to Images on Line if you think he applied for a pension.

Queet, Giles B. Baker was in the Union. I looked in my 'Tennesseans in the Civil War' I found this Giles B.Baker in the Federal Rosters. Baker, Giles B. Pvt. C Co. 4th. MI (mounted Infantry) There are no Bakers with the first name of Giles or the initial G.B. in the Confederate Roster. Hope this helps. Freda

Thanks Jo, I have tried Cyndi's list but I have a hard time finding just what I am looking for most of the time on there. Some of the sites are good tho. I have most of those in my favorites files which is getting quite large by the way. LOL Queet

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your help!

Penelope, Can you give me that link to the TN Civil War site? Queet

Penelope, I would be interested if Giles Baker did apply for a pension. If so, I need to get those records. Thanks, Queet

Thanks Freda and everyone who has helped me with this. Queet

Bill, Your will probably be inundated by requests such as this, but would you be kind enough to look up this soldier for me? I am trying to confirm my suspicion that he is my great-grandfather: Paschal GLENN, Co. B, 6th Tennessee Infantry, resident of Sevier County. Thank you for your kindness. Mary Evelyn GLENN Young

Penelope, Yes I would like more information on who to contact for the Giles Baker information. Thank you, Queet

Thanks Freda but is that Confederate or Union?

Here are all three David Hicks listings. On the Federal Roster; Hicks, David- Pvt, E Co. 2nd. Cav. Hicks, David- Pvt. E Co. 5th Cav. Hicks, David J.- Pvt. K Co. 2nd Cav. HOpe this helps. Freda

Thank you! I wonder what the other David Hicks was listed as though? I saw two on Ancestry.com's Images Online. Unfortunately neither showed a widow, but one was Co. E 2nd Tenn Cavalry and the other was Co. H, U.S. Cavalry and Co. 1, 5th, and Co. B, 6th US Cavalry. That must be my David Hicks because of the 2nd Company you indicated? The Ancestry.com image showed Co. E, though, and you are saying Co. K? Let me know what you find. Thank you again SO much! 8-)

If so what > county in NC would Washington Co have been in abt 1783? > Thanks Beginning in 1778, Washington County, NC, comprised all of what we know today as Tennessee. Beginning in 1779, several counties in both East Tennessee and Middle Tennessee were carved out of Washington. In 1783, Washington Co., NC had been reduced in size with Green and Sullivan Counties organized from her area. It was located in the northeast corner of present-day Tennessee, touching both NC and VA. By 1790, the present boundary between NC and TN was surveyed, and TN was ceded to the federal government and was known as the US Territory South of the River Ohio. By this time, Washington County was greatly reduced in size, having had Green, Hawkins, and Sullivan Counties carved out of the eastern area and Davidson, Sumner, and Tennessee Counties established in the Military District of Middle Tennessee. The rest was Indian Lands. In 1796, TN was admitted to the Union as the 16th state. In the years following the separation of NC and TN, NC created a Washington County, Greene County, and Davidson County within her new boundaries, so keep in mind that 1790 date when NC ceded TN to the Feds. Joyce

Debbie, there were three David Hicks only the on below had the middle initial J. This is in the Federal Roster. Hicks, David J.- Pvt. K Co. 2nd Cav. This seems to be your ancestor. _______________________________ In the Confederate Roster I found a Hicks, David O.
