Before me a Notary Public personally came W.G.W. Harper who being duly sworn says
that he enlisted in the confederate States Army below Mobile Ala. in 1862 in Co.
“K.” 25th. Ala. Reg.

That he has known Jefferson C. Adkinson (sic) all his life and that when his army
was at Nashville that Jefferson C. Adkison came to their camps on the day before the
battle began and told affiant that he had dismounted and was going into the battle
and that on the next day when in line of battle Jefferson C. Adkinson passed by on a
skirmish line and that on the same day and before the engagement said Adkinson came
back with a wound in his hand and that he talked with him, but that he did not see
him any more during the battle.  That when Adkinson came to their camps at first he
told affiant that he had been transferred from the 6th. to the 7th. Ala. Cav.  That
although affiant never did see him while he was in the 6th Ala. Reg. it was the
general report in the settlement from which he went that he volunteered in Capt. Ped
Lee’s Company near Elba, Ala.

That at that date, about the last day of March or the 1st of April, 1865, it was
generally conceded that the war was near its close.

Affiant further says that from the fact of his having known the claimant all his
life and from what he had seen of him in the army and since he believes that xxx
(sic) the said Jefferson C. Adkinson was loyal to the confederate cause and that he
did not desert the confederate army.

That the affiant never deserted the confederate cause or took the oath of allegiance
until after the surrender and that he has no interest, directly or indirectly in the
prosecution of this claim.

W.G.W. Harper

Sworn to and subscribed before me this the 19th. day of November, A.D. 1909 and I
hereby certify that the above affidavit was fully made known to affiant before
swearing and that I have no interest direct or indirect in the pension claim sought

Hon. Jefferson Bell,
Tallahassee, Fla.

In reply to your letter of Nov. 3rd. will say that I volunteered at China Grove in
Ala., in 1862 or 1863 in Ped Lee’s Co. 1.6th. Ala. Cav.  Capt Lee was from Coffee
Co.  I was transferred from the 6th. to the &th. (sic) Ala. Cav. and when I reached
the 7th. Ala. Cav. under Capt. Brit Tarver they were engaged in battle at Nashville,
Tenn. and I was only in it a very few days when I was wounded in the hip and had one
finger shot off; after the battle the army fell back to Greensburough, Miss., and on
or about the 20th. day o Feb. 1865 I received a furlough on account of my wounds, as
best I remember for 60 days, and at the expiration of the furlough I went to
Montgomery and got an extension for 20 days and before it had expired the war
closed.  I was in the 7th. such a short time and then during the battle that I did
not get acquainted with any ones in it that I can rember, except that if I remember
right a Mr. Hyer of Pensacola was Lieut in the 7th. Regmt. But I am of the opinion
that he is dead.
N.P.Campbell of Ponce de Leon, Fla, W.C.Mc.Lean of same office and John Stafford and
D.G.Mc.Leod of De Funiak Springs belonged to the 6th. and I refer you to them for
information as to my service in that Company.  When I was at home on a sick
furlough, I then lived near Brewton in Escambia County, Ala. and it can be proved by
citizens there that I was at home on a furlough when the war closed.
I feel confident that I am justly entitled to a pension and am in needy
circumstances and will greatly appreciate it if you will proceed at once with the
investigation as you have so kindly stated that you would and greatly oblige,

Yours very truly,

J. C. Adkison

Hon. Jefferson Bell,
Tallahassee, Fla.

I know that you are overtaxes with answering letters of inquiry in reference to
pensions and I decline writing any when I know there is nothing wrong.  If you will
do me a special favor to answer as to the status of two claims I will greatly
appreciate it.

The first is the claim of Jefferson C. Adkison (Have not the number).  His was
suspended for reason that war department had no record of his service, and he sent
one affidavit as to her service and is ready to furnish several others to prove his
service, the names of his witnesses were furnished to the Board some time ago but
these parties were never interrogated as to his service.  Some information as to his
will be greatly appreciated.

The other is the claim of Mrs. Sarah Alice Richardson.  In her application she
stated that she had been a citizen of Florida since Dec. 1895.  The day of the month
was requested and the information was furnished


Page 034

that she came on the 11 day of December, and has never received any further notice.
My contention is that if she came in Dec. 1895 and if she arrived here even before
12 o’clock on night of Dec. 31st she has been a citizen since 1895, however, I know
you are only acting as Sec’y and these questions cannot be settled by you.  Please
give me status of her claim the number of which I am also unable to furnish at
present writing.

My dear Sir:-

Jefferson C. Adkison claims to have enlisted at China Grove, Alabama, in 1862, or
1863 in Ped Lee’s Company, A. 6th Alabama Cavalry, C.S.A.  He claims to have been
transferred to the 7th Alabama Cavalry under Captain Brit Tarver and to have been
wounded at Nashville, Tennessee.  He claims further to have been granted a furlough
of sixty days in February 1865 and to have been absent on this furlough at the close
of the war, April 1865.

This man’s record has been requested of your office, but no record was found.  Will
you please see if with the above information you can locate this man’s service.

Hon. A. C. Croom,
Tallahassee, Fla.

Dear Sir:-

Enclosed please find affidavits in reference to the service of J. C. Adkison in the
Confederate Army.  This seems to be a peculiar case, but it certainly is evident
from the different affidavits that Adkison served in the Confederate Army, and there
is no allegation by anybody that he ever deserted the army.  It seems to me that the
Board has the power to determine from all the evidence whether or not it is a fact
that he served and did not desert.  At the time of the close of the war the position
of the army, especially that part of it, was such that the records might omit a
great many things, at least the record that they have in Washington City.

Now, I desire you to let me know when the Board will have a meeting.  I do feel that
this is a worthy case and it should be given very careful consideration by the
Board.  I will be absent for several days, but would be glad if you would let me
know when the Pension Board will have its meeting and I would be glad to be before
the Board at that meeting to present my views in behalf of Mr. Adkison.  I would not
think of asking the Board to pension a man who I had any idea had deserted, but the
peculiar status of this case leads me to believe that it is an error in the record
of the department or a lack of the records being complete that are now in Washington
City.

With best wishes, and thanking you for the attention you may give this matter, I
am,

Yours friend,

I enclose herewith an affidavit of W.G.W.Harper in support of the pension claim of

Mr. Harper lives in Ala. and by chance happened in town today and knowing something
of the service of Mr. Adkinson I took his affidavit to save the trouble again
perhaps of getting it.  Please attach to his application.  He was advised that his
application after being allowed was suspended for the reason that the records at the
war department did not show his service.  As he advised you he can get plenty of
proof as to his service in the 6th. Ala. Cav., but this affidavit is about all he
can get as to his service in the 7th. after having been transferred.

Honorable James A McLean,

Dear Mr McLean:-

Some time ago you wrote me about Mr J.C.Adkison’s claim for a pension.  As you may
know Mr Adkison came to Tallahassee and told me while he was here that he would try
to get some additional evidence.  He served in the 6th and 7th Alabama Cavalry
Regiments.  His service in the 6th is established but he has no proof as to the
service in the 7th.

I wrote to the Department of Archives and History of Alabama but was not able to get
any information but Mr Owen, the director gave me the following:

“By way of assisting you, I suggest that you confer with the following survivors of
Company A 6th Regiment: Thomas C. Baxter, Perote; C. E. Brannen, Elba; J. M. Cain
R.F.D. 4, Pigeon Creek, and Taylor Floyd, R.F.D.1 Cusseta.

Mr Thomas Taylor who commanded Tarver’s Company in the 7th Alabama Regiment and can
be reached here”.

I have written to Mr Thomas Taylor and am furnishing you with this information in
case Mr Adkison wishes to write to any of these parties.

Yours very truly,

establishing the service claimed.
