D'Arman (DeArman), deceased, of Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama 1 horse - - - $200. 1 horse - - -$300. 1 mare - - -$500. 1 filly - - - - $300. 13 blankets - - -$195. 1200 pounds of bacon - - -$400. 2 blankets - - -$80. 100 pounds of fodder - - -$150. TOTAL - - - -$2,125. REMARKS - - - John D. D'Arman resided during the civil war in Calhoun county, Alabama. Six of his sons were in the Confederate Army; two volunteered and four were conscripted. He furnished the two younger sons with horses, money and clothing. The property for which payment is asked was his property. He died August 15, 1869. The petitioners were his Executors. He left seven heirs, six of whom have released their interest in this claim to the seventh, John A. D'Arman, who is one of the petitioners and for whose sole benefit the claim is presented. There is much evidence to show that the sympathies of the deceased were constantly with the Union Army, but furnishing his sons when they entered the Confederate Army with horses, money and clothing was giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It was a disloyal act. If this were otherwise, there is no proof whatever to show that John A. D'Arman, the real party of interest, was a loyal adherent to the to the cause of the Government of the United States, and the claim must be rejected.
