ROSBOROUGH, THOMAS



W. M. ROSBOROUGH's father was born on the Atlantic Ocean in 1777, while his

parents were on their way to the United States from Belfast, Ireland.  They

located in South Carolina, and there our subject's father and mother were

married.  The father died in 1845 and the mother in 1877.  W. M. ROSBOROUGH

was born in Lincoln County, Tenn., June 13, 1827, and after his father's

death, he took care of his mother until her death.  His father was a large

land owner, and at his mother's death he inherited her dower, and now owns

230 acres of good land.  He was married to Harriet THOMAS in 1876.  She was

born in Lincoln County in 1831.  Our subject is an excellent neighbor and

citizen, and is a conservative Democrat in politics, and although he served

in the Confederate Army, was opposed to the principles of secession.  He

served in Company C, Eighth Tennessee Infantry.  He was wounded four times

at Murfreesboro and was compelled to abandon service two years. He then

rejoined, and was at Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Jonesboro,

Franklin, Nashville and others.  He returned home in 1865.  Mr. ROSBOROUGH

is an Odd Fellow, and he and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church.
