Need help : Location of Enlistment for Union Soldiers, Monroe County

robyoung138 — 26 Sep 2008 10:10:01 GMT

Does anyone know where a union soldier living in southern Monroe County near the Cumberland River along the area just north of Celina, Tennessee and bordering Cumberland County would have enlisted at?

I am trying to locate my ancestor James "Jim" Young who lived in an area known as Turkey Neck Bend or Otia (sometimes called Blythe) Kentucky.

I do know he served in the Civil War but because his name is so common it has been very difficult to find out.

His brothers/sisters moved to this area from Travisville, Tennessee around the start of the Civil War or very soon thereafter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

GARRARD, Theophilus Toulmin

withrobl — 17 Jun 2002 4:41:46 GMT

Hoping that you may have some information on my grandfather, John LOUGHRAN. Oral history suggests that T. T. Garrard sponsored John Loughran's immigration from Ireland to America in 1866. John became a salt agent for the Garrard family. He married Ann Hibbard and had four children. John, Ann, and daughter Nannie are buried on land that may belong to the Garrard family. If you have any information regarding the Loughran family, please respond. Nannie's son Joseph Beverly was my grandfather. I am new to genealogy and am having difficulty discovering much about the LOUGHRANs.

Thank you.

MOSES SPIVEY-7th Kentucky Infantry (Union)

Mary Ann Wehmueller — 28 Jul 2001 2:13:58 GMT

My GG grandfather Moses Spivey served in the KY 7th, Company K. (Originally Captain Statton's Co., 3rd Regiment, KY Infantry) I am looking for information on Moses. I know he mustered in at Camp Dick Robinson on September 22, 1861. He was hospitalized in Louisville KY Sept.-Oct. of 1862.

On June 17, 1864, he transferred to Co. G of KY Volunteer Infantry.

The family always believed he died during the War but, I've found records showing he mustered out October 5, 1864 in Louisville, KY. After that, he disappeared. I can find no record of him after 1864. It appears he did not return to his family in Laurel Co. KY. His wife was Martha Orleana Asher. It is believed she died during or shortly after the War. Moses & Martha's children were raised as orphans by Martha's family in Clay or Laurel Co.

If you have information on Moses or have suggestions on where I might look for more military information, I would appreciate hearing from you.
