William Monroe Hogue

William M. Hogue born 1823 in Burke County, NC, married 24 Dec 1861 in Cleveland, Bradley CO, TN to Mary Jane Bates. William died at Spanish Fort, Montague CO, TX on 6 Mar 1886. He fought in the Indian War of the late 1840's, also known as the Florida War or Second Seminole War. Later during the Civil War, he served in CO C 3rd TN Mtd Inf, Volunteer USA Army. During the 90 days of his service, he was wounded in the right eye at Macon CO, NC. His photo shows an obvious glass eye. In his affidavit for a pension, William stated that he was in the command of Col. Kirk and Col. Divine's Regiment which was ordered to leave Knoxville, TN and go to NC in order to break up a camp of Indians and Rebels forted in Cheoah, Macon CO, NC. During the Cheoah skirmish with the enemy in the mountains and while firing from behind a small tree, a Minie ball struck the side of this tree knocking bark into his eyes. This accident caused him to lose sight in the right eye completely and to injure the other eye as well. He further stated that he was not at that time in what is called a "general engagement" or a "general battle", and history may not recollect dates at this time but gave the time as near as he could under oath! William was also a freemason.
