GARNER, ISAAC M, Co A, private, enlisted for 3 years in Lexington, TN on 8/4/62 and mustered at Jackson, TN on 8/18/62 at age twenty-something.  He was 6’ tall, fair complexion, blue eyes, auburn hair, born in Henderson Co, TN, a farmer.  He furnished his own horse and equipment.  Presumed captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, he spent time in Andersonville Prison in Georgia where he died on 9/18/64.  He was the son of Cullen and Rachel Garner and probably a brother to James W Garner, also of Co A.  MR #643

GEORGE, EZEKIEL, Co F, private, enlisted for 1 year in Carroll Co, TN on 9/20/62 at age 38.  The only thing in his muster roll is  “received of Captain R H Hall a prisoner named E George supposed to be a deserter from the 2nd West Tennessee Cavalry."  George was a resident day laborer of Carroll Co, TN in 1860.  He seems to have married Lydia Cain in Mississippi in 1844.  He was not enumerated with her in the 1870 Carroll Co, TN census but was back at home in the 1880.  MR #651

GIBSON, GREEN B, Co A, private, enlisted for 3 years in Jackson, TN on 8/18/62 at age 22 (born 9/23/39) and AWOL by 12/18/62.  He was on the deserters’ list in April 1863, and again on 5/10/63 at Grand Junction, TN.  The muster rolls have a note that says “charge denied.”  No discharge date is given.  Gibson lived in the 5th district of Henderson Co, TN during the 1890 veterans’ census.  He died on 4/23/1926 and is buried in the Lexington Cemetery, Henderson Co, TN.  MR #652

GILBERT, JACKSON J(OHN), Companies C & A, private/corporal, enlisted for 3 years on 2/6/63 and mustered on 10/26/63 (from Dyer’s Compendium) at age 21.  He furnished his own horse and equipment and was due a $100 bounty for enlistment.  Presumed captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, Gilbert spent time in Andersonville Prison in Georgia.  Exchanged through Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC in November and December 1864, Gilbert was released on 12/14/64 and taken to Annapolis, MD where he received two month’s pay.  In February and March, 1865, he was on guard at the corral, presumably at Paducah, KY with the regiment.  He married Nancy Jane Renfral.  He applied for an invalid pension, #225,443, in 1876.   Gilbert died on 12/15/79 and is buried in the Derryberry Cemetery in Henderson Co, TN.  His wife applied for a widow's pension, #445,675.   MR #653

GIBBS, JAMES, Co L.  The widow of this man applied for a pension in 1869 and it was granted so he must have been in good standing.  There is, however, no Co L and Gibbs has no records in the muster rolls of the 7th Tennessee.

GILBERT, JESSE, Companies C & A, private, enlisted at Camp Chase, OH on 5/28/63.  He furnished his own horse and equipment and was due a $100 bounty for enlistment.  He was sick in the hospital in March and April 1864.  There is nothing further in the muster rolls.  Gilbert applied for an invalid pension in 1891.  MR #654

GILBERT, J (F, T or B), Companies H & C, private.  Record says “a J. T. Gilbert of Co C was captured in Athens AL on 9/24/64.”  This most likely is someone else since the 7th Tennessee was never in Athens.  Gilbert ended up in one of the prisons in the southeast and was exchanged through Vicksburg, MS on 3/25/65, then taken to Camp Chase, OH.  There is no record of discharge.  In the 1890 veterans’ census Gilbert lived in Decaturville, TN and said he enlisted on 2/64 and was discharged on 8/65.  He also said he was a POW for 10 months.  This information fits better with his being captured with the regiment at Union City on 3/24/64 than it does at Athens on 9/24/64.  There are 7th Tennessee pension applications for a John Jackson Gilbert in 1876 which was granted and for a James F Gilbert in 1891, which was denied.  MR #655

GILBERT, MICHAEL D, Co A, private, enlisted on 3/1/64 at age 19.  This was just before the regiment was captured at Union City, TN on 3/24/64.  He would have spent time in Andersonville Prison in Georgia.  Gilbert was never officially mustered, had received no pay, and was due a $300 bounty for enlistment when he was captured.  He was paroled through Vicksburg, MS on 3/30/65 and taken to Camp Chase, OH.  He applied for an invalid pension in 1881 and a minor applied at a later time but both were denied.   MR #656

GILBERT, THOMAS J(EFFERSON), Companies K & C, corporal, enlisted for 3 years by Captain Beatty in Henderson Co, TN on 5/1/63 at age 20/24/26 (born 6/11/38).  He was 5’1” tall, dark or fair complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, a farmer, born in Henderson Co, TN but a resident of Paducah, KY.  He furnished his own horse and equipment and was due a $100 bounty for enlistment. It was discovered that Gilbert was AWOL from Company F of the 46th Ohio Infantry from 4/16/63, a charge that was later removed.  Presumed captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, he spent time in Andersonville Prison in Georgia.  Paroled at Savannah, GA on 11/20/64, he was taken to Annapolis, MD, then on to Jeffersonville, IN, where there was a large Union hospital.  Gilbert was sick with scrobutus (scurvy) from his prison experience and was discharged due to disability at Jeffersonville, IN on 6/21/65.  In 1889 he joined Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Post #65 while living in Scotts Hill, TN.  Gilbert died at Sardis, TN on 9/2/1915 and is buried in the Cedar Grove Cemetery in Henderson Co, TN.  His wife, Mary Ann Hart Gilbert, applied for a widow's pension in 1915.  MR #657

GILBERT, WILLIAM. Co C, corporal, enlisted for 3 years in Jackson, TN on 9/5/62 at age 30.  He furnished his own horse and equipment.  Gilbert appears to have been from Decatur Co, TN.  Presumed captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, he spent time in Andersonville Prison in Georgia where he died on 1/12/65 of scrobutus (scurvy).  In 1868 a “contest widow,” Charlotte Gilbreath, filed for a pension on his record.  In 1876, Fannie A Lyles Gilbert filed widow's pension.    In 1890 Fannie Gilbert lived near the Alberton, TN Post Office in Henderson Co, TN.  MR #658 

GILES, ENOCH J(EFFERSON), Co F, private, enlisted for 1 year in Carroll Co, TN on 9/20/62 and mustered on 10/20/62 at age 21/24.  He apparently was captured in late December 1862, paroled and sent to Benton Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri, where he died on 3/7/63 of pneumonia.  Giles is buried in the Carters’ Chapel Cemetery in Carroll Co, TN.  He has a military marker but it has no dates.  Giles was brother to Marques C Giles and the son of Jesse and Chloe Bogle Giles.  A claim on behalf of Chloe Giles was filed with the Southern Loyalist Claim Commission after the war asking reimbursement for one bay six year old horse worth $150.00 and one bay mare worth $125.00, taken by Hawkins’ Federal Cavalry on 11/28/63.  Isaac R Hawkins and his son were the attorneys who filed the petition.  MR #659

GILL, GEORGE W, Co I, has no record of enlistment in the muster rolls.  If he was in the 7th Tennessee then he is presumed to have been captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64 and taken to Andersonville Prison in Georgia.  A soldier by this name died there on 9/15/64 of scrobutus (scurvy).  His mother applied for a pension on his record in 1888.  There is also a mention in the pension records of a C Gill in Co K but there are no muster roll records.   MR #662
