Doyle,
That is an interesting post. My gggrandfather was born in Ouachita Parish, near Monroe. In fact I was born there. His Pension application is in Louisiana. I was wondering why he joined in Hamburg, Ark instead of
Monroe, LA. I am new to all this.
I got interested when my sister gave me copies of his pension application and I saw where he listed being wounded on Feb. 10, 1863 in Lake Providence, LA. I live in Lake Providence and was suprised to find out my gggrandfather was here over 139 years ago
before me.
Thanks, John Frantom
