My Civil War Soldiers Page        

    I have a majority (5 of 8) of my 2nd great-grandfathers that were Civil War Veterans.  All of them fought for the Union.   Which I was very surpised at since all of them lived in southern Kentucky and I would have thought they would have fought for the Confederacy.  Hmmm.   I have a lot of information on one, (William B. Tharp, Jr.) a little on the others and none on some.   I have only started getting the pension papers for these guys.   I will add more as I get the information.  How soon that will be only the lord knows. ;)  If you have anything to add or correct me on, please feel free to do so.  Raque@bellsouth.net

    If their name is underlined then I have some information about them, or pension files or something.  Just click on it to see what there is.
