Chuck, I'm so sorry you lost your family data. Maybe this little bit will
help. I'm returning a couple of emails you sent me back in Oct. of this
year.
Also, all Rootsweb boards have archived files. Ask the CARDEN-L coordinator
for the URL for it if you don't know about it. Everyething you've ever sent
there should be archived.
Also GENFORUM archives every post back to its beginning. You can go thru
those by typing in your own name and all the posts you've made will be
listed and displayed when you click on them.
Another place to look for your info. might be on World Connect or
Ancestry.com...if you've ever posted there. That's 'saved' me a couple
of
times during 'crashes'. And finally if you've ever posted to Trish
CARDEN's site
http://www.tcarden.com/tree/ensor/
Much good fortune in your efforts... Martha

Subject: [CARDEN-L] Southern War Claims - Robert H. CARDEN
In "Tennessee Ancestors", vol. 17, no. 2, p. 140-158 is an article
entitled, "Southern War Claims - The Blackman Journal". Major Luther M.
BLACKMAN, Quarter Master, 4th Tennessee Cavalry (USA), who had returned to
Monroe County, TN, following the end of the Civil War and served two terms
in the state legislature, was appointed a Special Internal Revenue
Commissioner and assigned the responsibility of processing claims of East
Tennessee Loyalists who "furnished stores and supplies for the use of the
U. S. Army during the War". Claimants were required to produce witnesses
to their loyalty and to the property seized. BLACKMAN kept a journal of
the claims that were processed through his office. The journal was
abstracted by Lynn McCONKEY and published in this edition. On page 142 of
the alphabetical list is the following:
CARDEN, Robert H. Harrison, James Co., 7/10/1872, #15423. Loyalty -
Peter MOUNGER & David BROMLEY of near Ooltewah. Property - Mary J.
JOHNSON & Larissa CARDEN of Harrison. Property taken near Harrison, (then
Hamilton Co.) about Nov., Dec. 1863 by Maj. Gen Phil H. SHERIDAN of
Sherman's Army and taken in the direction of Knoxville. Amount of claim
was $227.50 but only $185.00 was a( the text ended here but presumably the
last word was "allowed").
Anyone know the ancestry of this Robert H. CARDEN?
Bailey
