Better late than never. That is my Great Grandfather. He was given a pension of $11.00 per month and a POW medal by the State of Tennessee, in order to get the pension he had to produce two witnesses to his capture. You would think that would be almost impossible considering that the battle was in Ohio before the Buffington Island battle and that his unit was from Ky. , but the archieves prove that he found a Capt. and a Private that testified for him in Tenn. He was born in Wilkes County N.C. in 1828 and died while living with my Grandparents in Nashville Tn. in 1911. When his unit was ambushed by the Union Calvary his horse fell and pinned him to the ground. He broke both his legs . They were never set properly and he was somewhat crippled for the rest of his life. He never forgave the other men of his unit who ran off and left him. My Grandfather was the General Passanger Agent for the N.C.&St.L. RR. in Nashville and he learned of a Union Confederate reuion that was going to be held somewhere up North. He made all the arrangements for my Great Grandfather to attend, however I will not repeat what he said to my Grandfather when he approached him about attending the reunion. Basically he said he did not want to ever again see those rascals who ran off and left him in such a miserable state. He included General Morgan in that statement.
