Hello, once again I will ask about these folks in case someone may have come across info on them since the last time. I am looking for information on Charles (Charley) or Fannie LESTER. I only know that they were in Parker Co in 1896 when my gr gr grandmother, Adeline TANNER, applied for a Union widows pension in Parker Co. Their signatures were on the application attesting to her identity. Adeline had a daughter 'Fannie' listed with her on the 1880 Cherokee Co, AL census so I'm wondering if this is the same Fannie now in Parker Co, TX. I don't know why Adeline was in TX, she later turns up back in AL and on the application lists her address as Calhoun Co, AL. I am trying to trace my gr gr grandfather, Silas TANNER, who joined the Union army in Rome GA in 1864 then deserted two months later. His wife states he died Oct 4, 1875 but not where. We have lost track of him after 1864 as neither he nor his family has been found on the census in 1870 in AL, GA, TN, SC or TX. Any tidbit of help would be appreciated.
