George was from Walker Co. Alabama. He was 35 years old. He enlisted for 3 years at Tuscaloosa , Ala. on 20 April 1862. There are 9 cards in his archival records. He served honorably until his surrender at Appomattox on 9 April 1862. In July of 1864 he was on extra duty as camp cook. His family history tell of him being injured at the surrender ceremony. As the news of the surrender a cannon was fired with no ball, but the blast knocked a tree limb loose which fell on his head causing him a concussion. George was the husband of Sarah Jane Thomas b. 1832. She is my 3rd cousin 4x removed. The blood is thin but kin none the less. Deo Vindice

Thomas Wade Harper
- Private
Thomas Wade Harper, son of Thomas A. Harper born 1802 in VA, was born about 1839 in Smith County, Tennessee but his family emigrated to Marion Co., AL right after he was born. He enlisted May 7, 1862, in Co. H, 43rd Alabama Infantry, CSA, and was killed in the Battle of Knoxville. He is buried in Bethel Cemetery in Knoxville, TN. His widow's pension application states that they had no children. Thomas Wade Harper must have married Mary Elizabeth Lane shortly before he joined the army. He enlisted in 1862 and died about five months later, according to a request for bounty pay that Mary obtained for his service. Mary and family left for Texas about 1869; she remarried in 1871 to John Boren from Texas. Her parents' full names were John Madison Lane and Phoebe Ann Walden. (Source ADAH)
Three (3) of Thomas' brothers served in the 1st AL Cav., USV. He had previously married Mary Elizabeth Lane who requested and obtained bounty pay that was due Thomas. Mary remarried in 1871 to John Boren from Texas. She was the daughter of Phoebe Ann Walden and John Madison Lane. You can view these at
