In Response To: Re: John Farrow -1st Alabama ()

I am doing this for a friend, so here is what I have
have found some of his muster papers. His name was John Franklin Farrow. I have found many other spellings of his last name and my family always said his name was John Ransom Farrow. I found that is was probably John Franklin Ransom Farrow on my own.

Other spellings include:

Farrar
Farrer
Farror
He was quarantined in June 1862 on Muster Papers and alive and present in late August, 1863 amd looks like alive in Oct 1863. Then is gone.
He was in the 1st Alabama Conscripts which joined the Army of Tennessee during the Battle of Franklin. His family was told he died on an island of smallpox and the water was too rough to bring him across. I wonder myself if he isn’t buried in the McGavock Cemetery
right here in Franklin. There are so many unknown soldiers buried there. He was born from what I can tell in Meriweather County, Ga in 1837 and resided in Tallapoosa, AL. There was another John Farrow who I thought was him for a while who was a guard in a cotton factory
near Atlanta. That is not him. He died I think in 1864.
