BOND(S), ANDREW J(ACKSON), Co B, private, enlisted for 3
years in Carroll Co, TN on 8/21/62 and mustered on 8/26/62
in Humboldt, TN. He was about 33 at the time. Bonds
escaped capture at the battles of Lexington and Trenton in
Dec 1862 and was stationed with the detachment in Jackson,
TN in January through March 1863 before being sent to La
Grange, TN in April 1863. He died of pneumonia in the
hospital at Grand Junction, TN on 6/11/63. Bonds wrote
several letters to his 2nd wife, Elizabeth Glawson, while
he was at Jackson/La Grange and Grand Junction. The
letters reveal a man very lonesome to see his wife and
children and very sad about the attempt to dissolve the
Union. Andrew's brother, John Bonds, wrote the letter
that informed Elizabeth of Andrew's death. The letters are
mentioned frequently in "Hawkins' Tories." Elizabeth Bonds
received a pension, #143,900, and lived near the Buena
Vista, TN PO in 1890. MR #192
