Hi Darrell, My cousin Felicia Stalder wanted me to e-mail as I have worked on Powell and Warner family.Our Mothers were sisters and the parents was WM. and Dona Powell Garner. Dona Powell parents were Thomas and Emma lee Warner Powell. Emma Lee Warner was the daughter Tandy Allen and Margaret Standcliff Warner. This what I have on Tandy Allen and Margaret. Have not found a marriage record. 1860 Bath Co.KY census no 904 Allen Warner JR. age 21, Margaret age 22, Cordelia age 3, Susan age 2, Emma age 1 Also they were listed again no 132, Allen T. Warner age 23, Margaret age 24, Cordelia age 4, Catherine age 3, Susan age 2 months. I found a birth record for Susannah 15 Feb. 1858 Bath Co. Ky. and one for Emma 4 Oct. 1859 Bath Co. Ky. 1870 Bath Co. Ky. no Tandy or Margaret. But in the household of James Roberson age 32, Mary age 25, Thamas age 3, Emma Warner age 10 going to school. And in the household of Valentine Pieratt age 39, Vienna age 37, Cordelia Warner age 12. I know that Vienna was her Aunt. But was the James Roberson kin? That the last time I found them but for Emma on the 1880 census Fleming Co. Ky. with her husband Thomas Jones Powell. We have a marriage date 14 Nov.1877 but no record. Sure would like to find more about them. Hope to hear from you, Cora Manley McCarty

Hi Cora,

           Tandy has been a sneaky fellow at best.  I will include what I have to date on his branch of the tree at the bottom.  He was the 11th of 18 children of Jonas and Elizabeth Clayton.

I did get a copy of his Cival War pension application and it shows that he died November 7, 1898. According to the records while on duty in Atlanta he was disabled by a wound above the right eye caused by gunshot and a fracture in the left elbow joint he suffered years later. It also goes on to say that he was taken prisoner on the 25th day of August 1864 and spent four months and fifteen days in the Andersonville Prison. It also goes on to say that he made three escape attempts. There are parts of the record that shows his name to be Thomas A Warner but he got it straightened out when he went to draw his pension. Another part has a sworn statement says his friends call him Al Warner and it appears to have Tandy's signature. There is another letter in the file from a Robert H. Isbell from Winchester to the pension office asking for $24.00 for burial expences. He states that Tandy died at his house on the 7th and also made the statement he had no widow or children. From other statements by doctors dated March 30, 1892 he was pretty messed up at age 49. It also said at age 49 he was 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed 148 pounds.

The thing that bugs me is what happened to his wife and children. I know about Emma thanks to Felicia but I have no idea what happened to the rest of them. I am guessing that Margaret died before the 1870 census was taken and he was unable to take care of the kids.

I have no connections to James Roberson although I will give it a closer look. It is possible he could be tied in through his wife. I will have to look at the 1880 census and get the Roberson kids name and see if I can get a death certificate to get the maiden name of their mother.

I will include Emma's death certificate info at the bottom. I would say there probably isn't a headstone for Tandy but there might be because you could get a military stone for free from the Gov. Where he is buried... I have no idea. If I ever find out and he doesn't have Cival War stone I will get one for him. If you would like a copy of Emma's death certificate I can e-mail you one. If you want a copy of the pension files it is 20 pages. It will cost about $20.00 for me to have the copies made and get it shipped to you. Just let me know.

Does any of you family members ever remember meeting her sisters?

Take care, Darrell

24th Kentucky Infantry

Organized early on in the war under the act which created the Reserves to counteract the State Guards, what eventually became Company I was organized in Bath County, in July of 1861. Other companies were later organized and armed with Lincoln Guns: Company K from Montgomery County (Captain Halley Smith), Company C from Powell, Company E from Bath, and Company D from Fleming County. One of the regiment’s first important assignments was as a security detachment for Tennessee Senator Andrew Johnson as he passed from Mt. Sterling to Owingsville. In September, the organization was established at Olympian Springs, and to that place volunteers came from Rowan, Lewis, Carter, and Morgan Counties.

In October, the future 24th was with General Nelson on his expedition into Eastern Kentucky, driving the Rebels from Prestonsburg to Pikeville and beyond. In December, the majority of the regiment was sent to Lexington, where it was joined by Captain Smith’s company, Captain Hall’s company out of Bath County, Captain Schoville’s company from Laurel, and Captain Jones’ company from Rockcastle. Being ten companies, the regiment was mustered into the service of the U.S. Army.

After moving around Kentucky a bit, the 24th was sent to Tennessee where it took part in the Battle of Shiloh. From there it went to Corinth, marching afterward through Iuka, Tuscumbia, Decatur, Huntsville, and to the railroad leading to Chattanooga. When Bragg marched into Kentucky, the 24th was shipped back to Nashville and marched to Louisville. From there the regiment made it to Perryville to be only slightly engaged in the fighting. The 24th was involved in the pursuit of Bragg out of the state, being involved in heavy skirmishing at Stanford. In February of 1863, the 24th was thrown into the unsuccessful pursuit of cavalry under the Rebel Colonel Cluke of Morgan’s command.

In February, 1863, Colonel Grigsby resigned and John S. Hurt assumed command of the regiment and retained it until it mustered out the service. Through May, the 24th was on outpost duty at Mt. Vernon and Wildcat. In June, John Hunt Morgan threatened the state with his ride to the Ohio and beyond and the 24th was held at Lancaster in readiness again for the purpose of his pursuit. In November, Colonel Hurt’s veterans were engaged in actions against Wheeler’s cavalry near Knoxville, and heavy fighting and the seige at that place all through late 1863.

The 24th was involved in the hard fighting for Atlanta in the summer of 1864. Twelve men were killed and seventy-seven wounded in that campaign. After the fighting for Atlanta was over, the 24th was held at Decatur. In October it went to Lexington, Kentucky, and was held in readiness while Hood made his move on Nashville. The regiment mustered out of the service on January 31st, 1865.
