Subject: [TNCAMPBE-L] Civil War Testimony of Elvis WALLACE
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 19:17:57 -0400


This is a continuation of the Civil War testimony from the Civil War
Invalid Pension File of my 2nd great grandfather, Joseph Abraham BROWN
(JAB), 1842-1914, of Anderson County, TN.

Elvis WALLACE was born about 1837 in Anderson County, TN. He married 8
Sept 1857 in Anderson County, TN, Rebecca CORUM. Elvis WALLACE was the
oldest child of Enoch Ball "Eke" WALLACE and Elizabeth "Betsey" UNDERWOOD.
(Additions and/or corrections are welcomed)

Elvis WALLACE signed an affidavit on 10 December 1881 before J. F.
CHAPMAN, JP, of Anderson County, TN, certified by T. J. PROCISE, Deputy
Court Clerk for Anderson County. He appeared for the second time on 18
October 1884 in Coal Creek, Anderson County, TN, before D. G. COLSON,
Special Examiner of the Pension Office.

He stated, "I am forty seven years of age, am a farmer, and my place of
residence near Faust's Ferry, Anderson County, Tenn., and my p. o. address
is Hinds Creek, Anderson County, Tenn. Knew (JAB) from boyhood to the
date I enlisted in the army August 8, 1861. Have known him since
discharge June 1865. He used to come to my father's mill before the war."

The remainder of his testimony was related to his knowledge of JAB's
injuries and will not be recounted here.
