Personal Information about the Veteran (Not contained in the CMSR):
David A. - born July 27, 1836, and was living in 1917. He enlisted on April 27
or 29, 1861 at Georges Store, Tennessee at age 24 and served in Col. Peter
Turney’s 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment, Company H, for the period of one (1)
year. He was promoted to sergeant and was wounded in the jaw in the battle of
Second Manassas in Virginia and was admitted to the Institute Hospital in
Farmville, Virginia on October 1, 1862. He attempted to draw a pension in
1917, but had been listed as AWOL since he was unable to fight because of his
wound. The pension paperwork was filled out by his doctor since he was blind
at the time. It was denied since no one could verify his claim that the CSA
doctor had sent him home and that his records should have been corrected.
