Applicants Who Have Not Heretofore Drawn
State of Georgia
Chattooga County
Personally appears Thomas Kendrick of said Chattooga County, State of
Georgia, who being duly sworn, says on oath that he was born on the 15th day
of July, 1841, that he is a bona fide citizen and resident of Georgia, and
has been continuously since birth the 15th day of July, 1841, that he
enlisted in the military service of the Confederate States (or the State of
Confederate States) on the about March 15 day of March 15th 1862, during the
war between the States, and served in Company K of 21st Regiment of Georgia
Volunteers Dolas Brigade, and was honorably discharged on the 9th day of
April 1865; that whilst engaged in such military service, and in line of
duty in the State of Virginia, on the 7 May I think day of May 1863, he was
disabled or wounded as follows: At once in the battle of Cold Harbor
Virginia on or near the James River below Richmond. I have forgotten the
date and the month that battle was fought. I was with my Company and in the
battle and was so gravely wounded by a minnie ball passing through my left
side between the 9th and 10th ribs that the Regimental Surgeon, Dr. Teague,
told me that my wound would kill me but it has not killed me yet though from
my efforts I may yet die. The difficulty of breathing and cough and general
weakness resulting from the wound is enough to make me fear that it will yet
kill me. At any rate it has now entirely rendered me unable to labor at any
occupation whereby I can earn a living and as I grow older the effect of my
wound increases my weakness: from the constant pain in side and trouble with
my breathing, I am a constant sufferer.
Where was command surrendered? Appomattox Virginia Apr. 9th 1865.
Was applicant present? I was
If not, where was he? How come there? And by whose authority?
State fully:

Despondent desires to participate in the benefist of Section 1250 of the
Code, and Acts amendatory thereof, and makes application for the pension to
which he is entitled for the year hereunder, ending October 26th 190_____.

Sworn to and subscribe before me, this the T. F.
Kendrick
14th day of April 1903
