Lookups Offered

[DaveBrt]

Could you tell me his location of birth? any family like a wife name?

Sorry, I gave you all I have on him.

Have you sent for his pension papers? Also, it mentions he escaped at one point. Perhaps his capture or escape were in the newspapers? Do you know the dates of these events? Also, what race was he?

No, I have not tried for his pension papers, yet. I assumed you would need to know the state for that.

The escape was from Ft Donaldson at the surrender in Feb of 62. I have not found him in any newspaper, though I just thought of another one to try. His race? Probably of English ancestry.

Dave, You might want to look thru the prison records. They are massive and not searchable so you will have to do a lot of clicking and scrolling.

In addition, the index cards I found for both men in both services showed the date of filing next to the widow's name as being June 9, 1885. I think you can safely say they are the same man.

Keiri, are his service records available? If so, will you d/l them for me? Thanks.

 

[Keiri]

People may know better than I, but I think his unit would at a minimum perhaps be enough for his pension papers.

North South and if possible what state

 

[Bridesburg]

South born in Tennessee died in Tennessee

 

[UCVRelics]

There are 2 C Temple's I believe he is going to be the one in the 154th Senior Reg due to his age here are both. was he from Randolph. The Charles Temple is listed as age 24 it can't be him due to his age. Let me know and i'll get the rest of them for you.

 

[Bridesburg]

Not sure what city he was born in.His father & mother died in Nashville I was told he fought with John Chandlers volunteers in Florida in the Indian war. I would think with his military past he would have fought in the Civil War as well.

 

[UCVRelics]

Here is his Indian war index card record. I believe with his age was with the 154th Tenn Senior Reg

 

[UCVRelics]

Here is his Civil War records

Hi there: I'm willing to do lookups for free. I have access to Ancestry, Genealogybank, Fold3, Newspapers.com, and Newspaperarchive. I am also in the Madison, WI area and go to the Wisconsin Historical Archives from time to time. Please message @Keiri with your request, as usual, more detail is better than less. If anyone else wants to post their willingness to do lookups in their area or online, I suggest you add it to this post that way others can find out. Thanks to the admins for letting me do this!

Remember, this is a volunteer! Please understand this member is doing this as a kind gesture, please allow some time for them to get back to you. Have fun!

I've sent you my email address. Once again, thank you! I was just curious to find out what I could about this man who served the Confederacy and ultimately lived, worked, raised a family, etc., near where I live in Ohio.

Hi @Keiri - Can I ask for one of your kind favors? According to Cozzens' "Shenandoah 1862" one Alexander Lydy wrote an article called "The Battle of Port Republic" which appeared in the "National Tribune" in its issue for December 12, 1912. I have tried everything I can think of on line and can't find it (I stink at web research). Sometime if you get a chance (no hurry at all) maybe you could see if you could? Thank you.
