trying to find info on my direct Stiles ancestor in the Civil War. William L. Stiles (Bill) was in the Confederate service in Cherokee county, NC, when captured by a union unit of the 3rd Tennessee Mountain Infantry... His own son Benjamin, was a member of this union unit that captured him. We have always heard that William was sent to knoxville, Tenn. as a POW and there died, But cannot find his name listed or where his grave may be. He may even be listed as Styles instead of Stiles.

To persue those lines which came from your kind hand, I was glad to hear from you and to hear that you was all as well as common. Except mother. I was truly sorry to hear that mother was so poorly. It grieves my heart to think that I have to be called so far from home, where I can't get to see my father and mother, and be with them when they they (sic) are sick. Where I have to be parted from my wife, children and sisters, I hope the Lord will raise my mother to health again and spare all of your lives and mine, so that we may see each other again and where we can live and enjoy peace & harmony once more on this earth, so that the day (star?) of peace, may rise and give (us) shining light and spread abroad through all the land. That we may see it bright, I hope the Lord will give (urs) peace and evermore declare that we shall live in peace again (obliterated). What peaceful hours we have enjoyed, how sweet there memory still, but they have left an aching void the world can never fill. Yes, we can think of those peaceful hours, but cannot see them now. Though I hope the time is not far distant, when peace will come and break up this great row (war?). I have not got me much news, (one line obliterated) at this time. It is said that the yankees are at Cedar Bluff a few miles below here and orders have come in for us to get ready to march, at a minutes warning. But I cannot say what it will terminate, though it may be to meet the yankees for all I know though. I hope not, but if we do have to meet the yankees in battle, I hope and trust the Lord will be a shield unto me and sheild me from all heart, harm or dangers. For it is in him that I put all my trust and dependence. I want you all to pray for me and I will pray for myself and you tell father to remember me in his prayers. I want you to write how many you have recieved from me and whether you recieved the last one or not, with ten dollars in it. I will send you ten more in this letterand some at another time. You stated to me to know whether I had heard anything of Samuel and Wily. I have not heard anything of them. They might have been taken prisoners. So no more at the present, only remain your husband until death. - SJ Guthrie to Elisabeth Guthrie Portion of a letter from Elisabeth to Shadrach ... friends that is now mourning your absence dear husband. I hope you will be spared and get back to Tenn and then there might be some chance of my getting to see you and hearing you speak one more time. If you was where I could send or take you something to eat, i would be truly glad, but you know we are so far from each other it is impossible to send you clothing or provision. I hope the time is not far distant when peace may be one more time be restored to this, our once happy and independent country. (And then you may... marked out). I have not heard anything from Wiley, nor Samuel. If you hear anything from them, I woud like to hear it. (Their...marked out). Capt Raught says there is no chance for him to detail a man that is in the war. There has been others as well, as you tried. Sarah Hill has been trying for her husband for a detail, but can't get arrey one. I hope you will get safe home, to live free once more. Now you have to do as other men say. You wanted to know who I rented my ground to, I have written it in several letters, but I will write it again. I rented it to Miss Sarah Hill. It is the ground next to the old house, all on that side of the branch. There is better looking corn this year than has been arrey year. The stock looks well, there has not been any increase anyway. Only the sow has seven nice pigs. I have sent so many letters with paper in them, I will leave this vacancy for you to write on one time. Letter from Elisabeth Bates to Shadrach Jasper Guthrie during the War Between the States Dear husband, I now take the opportunity of writting you a few lines in answer of yours of the 12th of June, which came to hand on the 6 (wk mst) and found all well. You cannot imagine one half of the pleasure it afforded me, while purusing its lovely pages. I was truly glad to hear from you and hear that you enjoyed your health. It had been six weeks since I had heard from you untile the (6). I had written you so many letters and had no answers until I had almost despaired of ever hearing from you any more. But thank the Lord, he has been watching over you and will spare your life, for you to get safe home to your friends and relatives, that is now far from you. Though they are often imploring him who is able to deliver, to spare and deliver you out of this unholy war, and let you live a long and peaceful life, with your father and mother. And mother (---) sends their love and best wishes for your good health and safe return. I will close my short note with the hopes of hearing from you soon. If we meet no more on earth, I hope we will meet in heaven. Your loving wife until death. This from Elisabeth Guthrie to SJ Guthrie. Camp Near Meridian, Missippi - August 23, 1863 Dear wife, I now take the opportunity once more to inform ever hoping that these lines may come safe to your hand, and find you enjoying the best of health and all the res of the connection and friends. I have nothing much to write about and a very few minutes to write it in. I have no war news of any consequnce, though I undersand that there is a great many deserters in that country and that they are taking all of the guns and ammunition that they can get hold of. And also that they was taking all the leather that they could find. And I want you to write me as soon as you get these lines and let me know whether this is so or not and whether they have interrupted anything in that neighborhood or not. So I will not tell you about how many letters I have recieved from you, as ni as I can gruess at it, I have recieved about eleven or twelve. Tell father I think of him a many a time and wish I could be there to hear him sing and pray. I will now tell you something about times here. I can say to you that times is hard here. I can eat all of therations that we get for one day, at one meal and then not have any to much. Dear wife, I want you to write me as often as you can. It gives me great satisfaction to hear from you and the children. As to what you wrote in your letter about the yankees killing and taking all of the men at Vicksburg prisoners, I reckon is falls for it is not more than fifty miles from here to Vicksburg and I hear nothing of that kind here. I can hear cannons very plane at Vicksburg. I want you to write in your next letter, whether you have heard any more from Raught. Whether he has seen anything about getting me detailed to work for him or not. Tell your father and mother (them and all) that I would like to see them and all the rest of the connection. Tell your father to stay at home and not to go in as a substitute. For he is getting old and I don't think he would stand camp life. If I was out of it, there is no money would get me to go in as a substitute. So, I must shortly bring my letter to a close. Write me soon. Write me all the good news you know and write to me how you are getting along with your crop and what sort of seasons you have. Write how the stock is doing and whether there has been any increase any way or not. I wrote to you to know who you rented your other land to, but you did not tell me who you rented it to, nor what land it was. So I must close by saying these lines leave me tolerably well. Give my love and respects to all of the connection and friends, so I remain in your affection. Affectionate husband until death. SJ Guthrie to Elisabeth Guthrie I forgot to tell you I haven't drawn any money yet, nor don't know when I will get any.
