Joe Stout's Civil War Project

 Weakley County Confederates in the Civil War

  Joe passed away in 2013, we will miss him greatly.

Joe spent a number of years compiling data on Civil War Veterans who "joined-up" from Weakley County or who lived in Weakley County after the War. Mostly his work is on the Confederate Soldiers. It has been thought that there were about 1100 Confederate Soldiers and 400 Union Soldiers who enlisted from Weakley County. Although Weakley voted both times NOT to succeed from the Union, once the majority of Tennessee voted TO SUCCEED, most of the men in Weakley "joined up" for the CSA.
These lists include known Soldiers - many sent in by their descendants.

The SCV (Sons of Confederate Veterans) is committed to the preservation of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved, and to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.

The Motto of the SCV is "Heritage not Hate."
