John Forsythe Parker, b. 5-5-1847 in Taylor County, GA

enlisted in the Confederate Army, 28th Georgia Battalion,
Co. D. He was enlisted 23 months according to his pension
application and was discharged in April 1865 due to the
surrender of General Lee. His pension # was 27374.

The pension application states that he was involved in
the battles at Averasboro (sp) and Bentonville, N.C. He
was 66 years old when he applied for the pension due to
ill health. He lived in Navarro County, TX in the City of
Roane. He married Sarah Jane Ruffin 12-27-1868. She was
born in Sumpter County, GA. She died 5-27-1918 and he
died 5-1-1919. His father's name was John L. Parker and I
am trying to find information on him.

He was from Taylor County, GA but since he was living in
Navarro County, TX he submitted the pension application
in Texas.
