This an old biography of a person in my family tree:
JOHN A. BURROW is a son of John and Catherine (Barron) Burrow, born, respectively, in Maury County and Giles County, in 1810 and 1811, and died in 1882 and 1881. They married and located in Alabama, residing there until 1879, when they returned to Tennessee and settled near the mother's birth-place, in Giles County. Both parents belonged to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the father was a Democrat. John A. was born in Lauderdale County, Ala., March 5, 1844. Owing to the breaking out of the war his educational advantages were retarded. He volunteered in Company E, Seventh Alabama Cavalry, and served two and a half years. He was in about twenty battles but did not receive a wound. After his return from the war he began tilling the soil and in 1872 he opened a store in Lawrence County, but at the end of one year was burned out, and soon after returned to the farm where he owns 641 acres of land. Three sons were born to his marriage with Ann E. Allen, whom he married in 1869. Mrs. Burrow died in 1876 and five years later he wedded Nannie Davis, who has borne him two children. He was one of the prime movers in building the Lynnville & Cornersville Turnpike and his efforts have been appreciated by those who know the advantage it has been to the county.
The ADHA database shows John Burrow as belonging to the 9th Alabama Cavalry Regiment which was also known sometimes as the 7th Alabama Cavalry Regiment, according to the site. The National Parks Service database also shows him as belonging to the 9th Alabama Cavalry Regiment. He went in as a corporal and left the war as a corporal. I noticed that there was a famous battle flag made out of a woman's wedding dress carried by Company F., 7th Alabama Cavalry,Rucker's Brigade. I am confused. Is the 7th Alabama Cavalry Regiment the same as the 7th Alabama Cavalry?
My Robert Stephenson,a Revolutionary War veteran, married Jane Barron in York County,South Carolina in 1784. Jane Barron's brother Alexander Barron Sr. went to Giles Co,TN,where he died in 1816. His son, Alexander Barron Jr. was probably the father of John Burrow's mother,Catherine Barron. Alexander Barron Jr. went to Lauderdale County, Alabama from Giles County,Tennessee,where he shows up on the 1830 Census of Lauderdale. The 9th Alabama Cavalry Regiment was made up of a company from Lauderdale County,Alabama.
