Thought you may want to read this....Greenberry Carnes my gg-grandfather.
Kim
Carnes, Greene Berry, born 31 Jul 1829 in Carroll County, Georgia, brother
to James Madison Carnes, he enlisted in the 31st Alabama Infantry. He worked
as a carpenter in Rome, Georgia for a while and saw service at Vicksburg,
Mississippi. After the War, he was employed as a blacksmith. He married
Nancy A. Sanders about 1856 in Cherokee County, Alabama. Nancy was born 5
Jun 1836 and died 4 May 1912. Greene died 29 Jun 1907; he and Nancy were
buried in the Old Liberty Cemetery in Oneonta.
The Southern Democrat, 4 Jul 1907
A Pioneer Citizen Passes Away
Mr. Green Carnes died at his residence, two miles east of Oneonta, June
28th, aged 78 years. He had been in feeble health for several months. By the
death of this good man another pioneer citizen of Blount has been called
over the river of life to that home where everything is bright and
beautiful. The deceased was a consecrated member of the Baptist church and a
man beloved and held in high esteem by all who knew him. Uncle Green as he
was familiarly known, was a quiet, noble citizen. He was always found on the
right side of all moral issues. "Do right" was his motto and he admonisted
his children to make this their guide in all their actions. Wherever
difficulty was likely to arise among his neighbors he always counseled
peace. To such a man no bronze or marble shaft, no spendor of ancient or
modern tombs, and no play of immortal genious can adorn his memory. His
life, his deeds, his influence and his pure inspirations are the monuments
that will keep his name burning in the home and hearts of kindred and
friends, while the flying moments are dimming with their dust and rust the
inscriptions upon the brightest obelisk in the cemetery.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. S.C. Allgood, on Sunday at 4
p.m., at Liberty Baptist Church in the presence of a large number of
relatives, friends and acquaintances after which the remains were laid to
rest in the Liberty cemetery. A widow, five sons and one daughter survive
him. May God in His Mercy and love abundantly bless and comfort the
sorrowing widow, children, kindred and friends and bring them at last in
peace to Himself in Heaven.

(Green Berry Carnes brother)
Carnes, James Madison, born 28 Feb 1826 in Hall County, Georgia, brother to
Greene Berry Carnes, he enlisted at Mobile in Company A of the 12th Alabama
Infantry. He was wounded and captured at the Battle of Sharpsburg
(Antietam). After being held at Fort McHenry prison in Baltimore, Maryland,
he was exchanged at Fort Monroe, Virginia. He saw other action before he was
listed as missing in May 1864. He first married Sarah Fortuneberry 1846 in
Paulding County, Georgia. He second married Narcissus Elizabeth Sanders.
Narcissus was born 4 Dec 1833 and died 13 Oct 1884. He third married Mary
Jane Miller 19 Nov 1891, Blount County. James died 10 Jun 1907; he and
Narcissus were buried in the Old Liberty Cemetery in Oneonta.
The Southern Democrat, 13 Jun 1907
Death of James Carnes
Died, at his home near Oneonta, Monday night at 11 o'clock, James Carnes,
aged eighty-one years. The funeral services were held at old Liberty church,
of which he was once a staunch member, and were conducted by Revs. S.C.
Allgood and D.D. Head at 3 p.m. Tuesday. A large concourse of friends and
relatives were there to pay the last sad tribute to this grand old man.
He was a man of generous impulses and never forgot the hospitable ways of
the pioneer. The stranger never failed to find food and shelter if he sought
it at his hands and he delighted in all kind and neighborly offices. He had
borne adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He had filled the
various relations of life, as son, husband, father, brother, friend, and
filled them well. Who can do more?
A solitary woman in the sunset of life, and a lonely home, are left to
attest how sadly they will miss him. It must be so; these tender human ties
cannot be severed without a pang.
How much this community owes him and such as he, it is impossible to
estimate, though it would be a grateful task to trace his influence through
some of the more direct channels, to hold him up in these degenerate days,
in his various characters, of husband and father, of neighbor and friend, to
speak of the sons and daughters he has reared to perpetuate his name and
emulate his virtues. But it comes not within the scope of this brief article
to do so. Suffice it to say he lived nobly and died peacefully. The stern
Reaper found him, "as a shock of corn, fully ripe for the harvest."
Blount County, 1926: Mrs. Mary Jane Carnes
This applicant who is the widow of James Carnes and whose name was stricken
from the pension roll in may 1924 because she had moved to the State of
Texas [Rusk County], returned about the 1st of Sept. 1926 to Blount County
and asked that her name be restored to the pension roll. Under the pension
laws of the State of the Pension Commission is prohibited from placing on
the pension roll the name of any person whose name has been dropped on
account of removal to another State until such person had lived five years
in Alabama, subsequent to their return to the State. Going into the matter,
however, of how and why Mrs. Carnes' name was ever placed on the pension
roll we find that it was by very little evidence or proof of service of her
husband. There was no claim to any regular organization, no company or
regiment being given. Investigation further discloses there were two Mary
Carnes on the pension roll of Blount County for some time and the name of
one of them was stricken from the roll. It is stated the husband of one was
J.A. Carnes and the husband of the other was James Carnes. These instances
are only mentioned as a memorandum for future reference. Mrs. Carnes cannot
have her name restored to the roll until she had complied with the
requirements as to residence, that is, according to her statement she would
not be entitled to be placed on the roll until Oct. 1931. The application is
therefore rejected. 9-22-26.
Blount County, 1927: Mrs. Mary Jane Carnes
This applicant, whose post office address is Oneonta, Alabama, states that
she is the widow of James Carnes, who died near Oneonta in 1907. She does
not know the name of the company nor the regiment to which her husband
belonged, nor can anything be found of the record of her husband's service.
She offers no Confederate soldier to support the facts of the application.
She says her husband never did draw a pension, and never made application to
draw one. On our writing to her regarding this matter, and asking for
further information, she states that she does not know anything about it.
There is no proof to warrant the Pension Commission in placing the name of
the applicant on the pension roll, and her application is therefore
rejected. 9-13-27.
