Notes:
[R14.5.1.3]
married Mary in Rhea Co TN
He was a farmer.
--
He served in the Civil War (Confederate), 43rd TN infantry Co C.
He may have filed for a pension on 1888-12-03, but I think the William G who filed that day had wife Mary E.
I'm fairly sure he is the father of Maggie. She and her husband are living next door to William on the
1900 census.
