Claim of William Cate of Bradley county, Tennessee no. 15.774 and 20702<\/p>\n
Deposition of Thomas A. Cowan<\/strong><\/p>\n Aged 26 years. I am the son of John N. Cowan<\/b>, deceased, and reside on his farm with my mother since his death. This farm is broadside adjoining the farm of the claimant and I am not related to the claimant and have no interest in his claim. I am the oldest living child of my deceased father.<\/p>\n My father was a rebel in the late war, and I know that he always regarded the claimant as a Union man and I hever head him speak of him in any other way than as a Union man and I have heard him speak of him often.<\/p>\n I am satisfied that the rebels of our neighborhood all regarded him as a Union man.<\/p>\n Question by the claimant<\/i> – Does Mr. Leonard Carrouth<\/b>\u2019s farm join yours and how near does he live to you and when did he move to that place?<\/p>\n Answer<\/i> – Our farms join. Our houses are not a quarter of a mile apart. He moved to that place to the best of my recollection in the spring of 1865. Mr. Carrouth\u2019s place also joins the claimants farm.<\/p>\n Question <\/i>– Do you know how the said Carrouth regarded me after he came into my neighborhood – as to loyalty? Till he left?<\/p>\n Answer<\/i> – My recollection is he always spoke of the claimant as a Union man. I don\u2019t think he ever spoke of him in any other way as long as he lived here.<\/p>\n signed, <\/p>\n The information in these articles was formerly linked from Bradley County TNGenWeb to a site owned by Danny Roy Williams at Geocities.
