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
1881000073USA. Good. 1881. Original Cloth. Three curious diaries/logs/journals of Peter H. Grisham mustered out a Corporal of the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry. Peter tends to write front to back and then change back to front in these 'pocketbook' type journal. Peter meanders making observations jotting memories detailing genealogical histories; Mrs. Mary Bevins his sister some famed people he knew through his father and notes the history of the family's steel works is in the snippets to follow. "July 10th 1883. My duties have been arduous have neglected to keep up any diary regularly. I went to Arkansas - last May was a year - via Baltimore Harrisburg Pittsburg Chicago St. Louis by RRs and by Steamer too Memphis by RR to Little Rock Geary Ark. to my sister Mrs. Mary Blevins near Pangburn White Co.

Clark.knows of it." July 29th 1883 Alexandria Va. This ancient city is still inhabited by many of the old Virginia Aristocracy who own the best of the property. The city was mostly of the tory sort I believe in the days of Washington - who attended Church here in the same building I did today.That it sympathised with England and the King may be inferred from the names of the streets - King St. Queen St. Prince.It was also a strong rebel city during the late war sending about a thousand soldiers into the rebel army under Genl R.E. Lee who lived a few miles above opposite the city of Washington. The pocketbook has a page or two missing one hinge is loose is written in pencil blue crayon and pen. A number of pages are financial - stock holdings monies loaned and repaid. Some more legible than others especially the log parts where he has crossed out information that was no longer relelvant. 50pp. Diary for 1881 also a pocketbook style tells the long tale of the death of Catherine M.

"Some Estimate of the probable cost of money and of time is called for from General Colby and when it is received you shall again hear from me." The reference is probably to General Thomas Frederic Colby a leading geographer who had been director of the Ordnance Survey.<p>Henry Paget 1st Marquess of Anglesey 1768-1854 was a British army officer and politician. After serving as Member of Parliament for Carnarvon and then for Milborne Port he took part in the Flanders Campaign.

Murchison was one of the founders and a president of the Royal Geographical Society and served on the Royal Commission on the British Museum.

Lined paper old folds Very Good.<br/><br/> The Letter is in the hand of Captain Kerr its first signatory. The Greensboro Cavalry Company from the west central Alabama town of Greensboro had been established before the War. Its officers pleaded for increased membership after the Harper's Ferry invasion. A local newspaper published the following notice: "The recent nefarious attempt at Harper's Ferry to get up an insurrection among the slaves though it proved a signal failure - not one slave it has been asserted having joined Brown and his confederates - should prove a warning to the South to be always prepared to meet such emergencies. And the cheapest and most efficient plan for accomplishing this object is to organize efficient Volunteer Companies." Greensboro Beacon December 2 1859.<br/> Written on the day of Alabama's secession Captain Kerr's Letter reads in full:<br/> "The undersigned Officers have been instructed by the Greensboro Cavalry Company to report the Company ready for actual service-- We have also been instructed to apply for Carbines in addition to arms in our possession. <br/> "We are also pleased to add that the Company entertain a spirit of Deadly hostility to Black Republican rule.<br/> "Respectfully Wm.
