Slightly creased small scuff to head with small amount of loss otherwise quite bright and clean. "Thomas Grimston of Kilnwick and Grimston offered to raise a cavalry force in Holderness and he set about his task with characteristic thoroughness. He issued the articles of enrolment based on those of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry and then travelled round the Holderness villages explaining his plans to the farmers. The response was very poor and he followed up his visits with letters to the Clergy suggesting that parish meetings be called so that the importance and purpose of the proposed corps could be explained to all the parishioners. Once more the results were disappointing. A letter received from the Vicar of Sproatley partly explains why this was so. "The sentiments of the People here are not changed I apprehend since you conversed with them. What they object to is the smallness of the pay from which circumstances one may r think infer two things First they are aware of the Necessity of the Measure and Secondly in return for their Services they expect a valuable consideration adequate at least to the Profits arising from Labour". Several letters were written in similar tenus and some also pointed out that volunteers were unlikely to come forward during . First Edition. Unbound. Good. Elephant Folio. Broadside.

186336642Hamilton County Tennessee: n/a 1863. Document. Good. Document. Folded sheet of paper. 9" x 5". Paper has blue lines and multiple folds. 4 pages with 2 pages of content. Some fading to the ink and light toning to the paper. Chattanooga Tennessee is the seat of Hamilton County. Hand written document transcribed here: "State of Tennessee Hamilton County I Sam Elder of said County and State have this day hired Thomas Cavender as a substitute to serve as a Private in Capt J B Kings company or Capt Lyness for which I agree to pay the said Cavender one thousand dollars in hand & the other thousand dollars to be paid in three months from this date and to be loned at interest for twelve months two years is the time of service I have hired the said Thos Cavender now if the said Cavendar serves faithful as a substitute for the time of two years and at the expiration of that time the said Elder to take his place the one thousand dollars that is to be loned if the said Cavender should desert is to come to me the said Elder given under our hands this 30th day of April 1863 attest Wm Caruthers and Bob Caruthers signed seal S. H. Elder signed seal Thos Cavender." A Confederate soldier who paid another person to take his place is often referred to as a "substitute" soldier. During the American Civil War individuals who were drafted or conscripted into military service had the option to hire a substitute to serve in their place if they could afford it. These substitutes were typically individuals who were either unemployed or seeking financial gain. The practice of hiring substitutes was more prevalent among wealthier individuals who could afford to pay for someone else to take their place in the military.<br /> <br /> The Elder family were pioneers in Tennessee. Some of the family settled in Hamilton County. This excerpt is copied from Chattanoogan dot com: "The children of Robert S. Elder included Samuel Houston Sarah Jane Minerva Jane Robert and James B. Sarah married Thomas Monger a Unionist who was on the County Court. Minerva married James Clifford Allen who fought for the Union and was in the Legislature from Bradley County. Samuel H. was on the Confederate side joining 2nd Co. K of the First CSA Cavalry on Sept. 23 1862. He married Sarah J. White. Their daughter Mary A. married Aaron E. Smith. Samuel H. and his brother Robert had a "store boat'' that made calls at the various river landings and they also had a general store at Snow Hill. Samuel H. was postmaster at Long Savannah. He died in 1910 of a heart attack while walking from Avondale to Snow Hill."<br /> <br /> A record for Benjamin Franklin Cavendar from Hamilton County was found. However no mention of Confederates in Hamilton County for Thomas. Although a "Reader's Comment" from the Chattanoogan dot com states this: CAVENDER Benjamin Franklin Co. B 1TN Cav. Carter's Born 1839 in TN son of Henry Cavender. Farmer in Ooltewah. 1860 HC Census Reader Comment; Henry Cavender by his first wife did have a son named Benjamin S. Cavender b. ca. 1806 in NC living in Hamilton in 1850 but d. March 14 1858 in Dade Co. MO. By his 2nd wife Henry Cavender had a son named Franklin b. ca. 1839 in Hamilton Co. TN. However Henry Cavender relocated with several of his married and unmarried children after the 1860 census but prior to the War to Pitman Randolph Co. AR. In service with nephews in Company A of the 12th Missouri Infantry is Henry's son Francis Marion Cavender and an F.N.C. Cavender who I assume may be Henry's son Franklin. I cannot say for certain since there are no enlistment dates on this post but this Benjamin Cavender may be the son of Henry's son Thomas Cavender who remained in Hamilton Co. Thomas' son Benjamin J. Cavender was b. ca. 1844 in Hamilton Co. relocating after the War to Jeffersonville IN. I would be interested in hearing how the authors pegged this solder as Benjamin Franklin Cavender as Civil War soldiers database only lists him as Benjamin. I regret I cannot say anything more definitive than to cast some doubts. Kendall Sparkman.<br /> <br /> According to a record found in familysearch dot org: Captain J. B. King mentioned in the document was an officer for for Company B of the 1st Regiment Tennessee Cavalry Carter's. This regiment was organized in November 1862 using the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. This company was active in the Vicksburg Campaign and was captured July 1863. By exchanged it was attached to Waul's Texas Legion then returned to the regiment. It surrendered with the Army of Tennessee.1<br /> <br /> The Caruthers individuals who attested this document were not found in a brief internet search. However there are other possible spellings of the name such as CARRUTHERS CARETHERS CAROTHERS. Some of the individuals named in the site Chattanoogan dot com were near the Chattanooga area during the Civil War. n/a unknown
186358198Virginia; various places including City Point 1863-1865. Fine original condition. 8vo. With a brief signed note describing the finding of these letters on a farm near Albany New York. Two letters from Charles Seaver to his sister describe a night-time call to arms arrival on the Rapidan coming under battery fire and forcing the enemy infantry across the river; hoping to relocate to Washington rather than South Carolina; effecting the surrender of "five Rebble sentenals" and the destruction of a railroad bridge by axe and fire. To his mother from City Point he writes of religion; of money due him and how to collect it in case he is killed; and a temporarily successful Rebel capture of 2500 cattle. Merrill Flint writes to his sister on April 6th 1865 from Virginia about walking the streets of Petersburg "it looks very rough"; and not expecting to see Richmond for some time "for we are following Old Lee as fast as the Army can march.the Confederate Army is on its last pins." With one original addressed envelope. unknown
