"D" (Turner's Company) 29th GA Regt and continued until Paroled, 1865." (It's a little hard to read the "Turner's Company" writing, but I believe that is what it says.

3. 1907-8 Census, Tax Collector, Cherokee Co., Ala. 1907-8 stating same information above and that he was born 11-5-1839, Henry County, GA and now (1907) lives in Cedar Bluff, Ala.

6. A document entitled "CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE OF HUSBAND OF APPLICANT BY A CONFEDERATE VETERAN" Which is in very shakey hand writing, but says, that the veteran had personal knowledge that John Aaron Chandler served n the confederate army and his captain was John W. Turner and Colonel was William D. Mitchell, Co D 29 Reg GA, the veteran signing states he belongs to a comp of conf. vets. called Johns Highorns, (not sure very bad writing) but I can read, Summerville, GA...the guy's signature is also very hard to read...I'm going to try to guess.....Y. K. Walters..though it actually looks like Y. K. Waeutrers., 16 Jan. 1921.

7. Application for pension stating same and that he was shot and wounded. That his wife married him Dec. 29, 1874 and he died in Cherokee Co. Ala. 2-9-1912.
