ATTACHMENTS:
Any message with an attachment WILL NOT go to
the list. If you need to send a file or a pic, please send it by
private email, and always ask your recipient first! And, if
possible, please turn off any fancy formatting (MIME) for your
mailing program. Thanks!
=======================================================
REPLYING TO MESSAGES:
In the interest of brevity, if you use the "reply" option on your
mailer, PLEASE delete the parts of the original message that are
unnecessary to your reply. Keep only that part to which you are
replying. And be sure to edit the SUBJECT LINE of your reply,
changing it when necessary. Sometimes the conversations end up in a
totally different place
than where they started, and folks who only scan the subject lines
might miss an important post! Thanks!

Message Board Post:
According to his pension application in 1906, John N Cosby was born
in 1840, and enlisted in CW April 1862 and fought with Company D,
11th NC Infantry until the end of the war and was present when Lee
surrendered. He was next found in Franklin Co., Al where he married
Sallie Narmore in 1872. Neither could read or write. They were on
1880 census in Franklin Co along with his mother-in-law and two
children. According to the application, he also listed one unknown
brother.
Would like to have information regarding parents and brother. Have
found family listed as both Causby, corsbie, and Cosby. Makes sense
as they couldn't read or write - so census and other data written by
other persons. Thanks in advance for any information.
