My Father - David Wilson was born in or near Newtown-Stuart, County Tyrone Ireland in 1794. Came to Philadelphia when 14 years old on board the Centurion a sailing vessel, (years before they had steamers) and served five years as an apprentice in cabinet making. He came west to Cincinnati O. where he and my mother whose name was Ann Gibson were married May 21” 1818. She was born Nov. 3rd 1898(sic) in Lexington Ky. I was the 13th of 14 children. When about four years old I had two brothers snd four sisters older than I besides a baby sister that only lived to be 9 mo’s old. My parents removed to Madison Ind. The same year they were married. I was born April 8th 1841. At the age of 13 went to live on a farm with Mr & Mrs I L Christie (my sister Louisa) staying with them eight years except one year I stayed with sister Eliza. (Mr and Mrs David Giltner in Hunters’ Bottom Ky. Four miles above Madison ind. On the Ohio river. The Cicil War began when I was 20 years of age. The next year we organized a company of Home Guards, selecting a man for captain who had been in the Mexican War. We were called to Indianapolis to relieve three years men, Col. Willich’s regiment who were sent to the front. This regiment had saber bayonets. Governor Morton called for us the last week in May 1862.

(He spoke once in the Court House for 3 hours in Madison Ind) We occupied Sibley tents, bell shaped and they held 17 men lying with their feet to the center and for a month and a hal, guarded 4700 rebel prisoners in the State Fair grounds. I was in Co A 55” Ind Infty. The other half of our time we were in Kentucky. Our first march after going by rail from Louisville to Frankfort was to Georgetown 22 miles distant starting at 11 PM made the trip in 12 hours over the turnpike with blistered feet. The boys soaked their feet and filled their canteens in the same spring, about 8 feet square in a fine spring house. We were after John Morgan the raider. Marched to Winchester, Paris and Lexington. It is needless to say we didn’t catch Morgan. Being summer it was not unpleasant to be out on picket duty on a nice starlight night and hear the Kentucky roosters crow. Companies A and F guarded a bridge over Ky river. As we were three months men we stacked our arms when our time expired amid the evergreens of a fine mansion turning them over to the 71st Ind, a new regt. And marched some and rode some in large army wagons to Maysville Ky, the nearest point on the Ohio river. Going along the railroad I asked a young Irish woman for a drink of water, she asked me if I’d as leave have a drink of buttermilk which I gladly accepted. And such cheering when we got in sight of the Ohio hills near Aberdeen. They cheered like they had put an end to the war and like they had been gone for years.

Arriving at Maysville the river being very low we took a light draught steamboat and barge for Cincinnati 65 miles down stream. The boys sat on the edge of the boat bathing their sore feet for miles. Gen Kirby Smith’s forces entering Kentucky and Cincinnati was put under martial law and citizens with canteens and haversacks getting ready to repel an invasion of their beloved city. Some of the fire department horses were attached to batteries and taken to Ky and captured by the Johnnies. They were beautiful largest sized horses matched in pairs, in size and color. Being unused to hardship they died crossing the Cumberland mountains. We took the Indp’ls and Cin. RR for Ind’pls where we were paid off returning home about Sept. 8th. After helping sow wheat I went in Oct (’62) to Sister Emeline’s (Mr and Mrs H. S. Woods) in Johnson Co Kansas. 12 or 13 m’s from Kan. City and 8 m’s from Olathe (Co Seat) and 3 m’s from Moline. I had a private or subscription school. Three boys rode three miles coming from the edge of Mo. On the night of June 4” (63) the Mo. redlegs raided the neighborhood taking our double barreled shot gun back for what the Kansas Jayhawkers had done in Mo. In August I returned to Ind. By wagon except from St Joe to Hannibal by rail. Saw some Indiana friends at Mechanicsburg Ill (Paschal Jackson’s) visited Crawfordsville Ind. Thence home. Taught school in winter till Jan. 2/64 when I volunteered in Capt. George R Mitchell’s Co for 3 years went into barracks at Indianapolis, afterwards in camp at Columbus Ind.

We went home in squads to buy cavalry horses. Our regiment was the 10th Ind Cav. I was in Company H(h). The government paying us $130 each if the horse passed inspection. He had to come up to the standard height had to walk, trot and gallop all right ertc. I bo’t one for %115 that passed when he was shod. As soon as we were equipped we went to Jeffersonville by rail. Before going however we drilled and practiced our horses jumping a large sycamore log. They jumped it all right but when it came to jumping a rail 3 or 4 feet high my horse not seeing it so good as a log, stumbled to his knees and I crawled off on all fours with my carbine in a sling on one side and by saber dangling on the other. Arriving at Louisville went into camp at Park Barracks 4 miles south. Afterwards marched to Pulaski Tenn. Where we were in camp three months. Moved to Decatur Ala. And stayed three months. Was attacked by Hood. We evacuated Decatur and went back to Nashville and helped drive Hood as far as Pulaski. We then went to Cairo, then to Vicksburg, New Orleans, Mobile Bay, Montgomery. While here we heard of Lincoln’s death but would not believe it till we saw a Selma Ala. Paper in mourning. Went to Columbus Miss. And Jackson and home on sick furlough. The regt. Was mustered out and paid off the latter part of August 1865. On enlisting I rec’d $302. gov’t bounty, $200. County bounty and $100. from the 3rd ward in the city of Madison Ind. Going home the train ran off the track not going very fast 20 miles from home. In a short time a train came backing up for us.

At Decatur there was a long pontoon bridge across the Tennessee river of 71 boats with a plank road running across them. They were fastened by cables to the 13 abutments of the Rail Road bridge that had been burnt by Gen. Mitchell. When we left there our batteries fired a volley, then laid whip and crossed the pontoon bridge. Then two soldiers with axes cut the cables till the bullets came too thick. Then they would hide a while in the boats then up and at it again with their axes. Finally we ran a gunboat the Gen. Grant against the bridge swinging it around to the north side of the Tennessee river so the enemy couldn’t cross. But they went below and crossed at Mussel Shoals going to within 5 miles of Nashville where they threw up lines of earthworks. But they were routed out of them and had a battle at Franklin, Tenn. There was an awful artillery war as they were being driven from Nashville. Probably 150 pieces of artillery.
