SANDERS, Elijah, __

SANDERS, George W. – He was a brother to Chapman SANDERS. Both men were sons of Thomas G. SANDERS and Mary Ann McDANIEL sanders. George W. was shot in the arm while in service and it went lame. after serving his tour of enlistment in the 32nd, young George came home to find Yankees all over tullahoma and Franklin County environs. George, his father, Thomas, and his uncle William were shot and killed by Yankees of Capt. William H. LEWIS’ Company A, 42nd Missouri Vol. Inf. US, on 11 Jan. 1865. Family rumor has it that SANDERS would not reveal where some Confederate guerillas were hiding. I suspect the guerillas in question may have been part of the John W. PURDHAM gang. PURDHAM, a vet of Co. D, 17th Tenn, was one of three men surprised by the Federals on the night of 6 Feb. 1865, at the farm of Jack CORN. PURDHAM and William STARNES escaped, but Charlie REAGAN was killed. The preceding was from Keith Fletcher.
