John McClain and V C Allen

[Stiles/Akin]

I was doing more research on my Ancestor John McClain and he was in the Third Tennesee Infantry Company E. He asked for a pension in Georgia and V C Allen was a witness for his pension. Allen wrote the book nelow thats lists my other Cobaugh Confederate Ancestors in the 43rd Tennesee infantry. His youngest daughter Lucille Edith McClain Colbaugh married my great Grandfather Authur Harless Colbaugh. Just another part of the small world we live in. John McClain's picture is handing up at the Rossville Masonic Lodge. i will venture there to get a copy of that picture.
