William Horace^ Anthony |
- [Alamance County_Feb 2006_backup.FTW]
From Bob's Genealogy Filing Cabinet II:
His son James and Roddy answered questionnaires regarding their CSA service, providing us with his wife?s name. James Frederick Anthony stated that ?my father was old style Methodist Circuit rider... had often as many as 15 churches under his charge and preached every day in the week...?[34] This statement also declared that William Horace Anthony was born at Thompson's Creek in Bedford County but lived most of his life in Moore [formerly Franklin] County, that he and his two older sons joined the 1st Tennessee Regiment in 1861 and that he served as chaplain in 1862, when he resigned on account of being afflicted with rheumatism, contracted in camp. James Anthony?s statement also declares that his father was a ?full blooded German?, that all four of his grandparents came from Germany, one of his grandmothers being named Shofner. A similar statement by Roddy Anthony declared that his father was a traveling minister in the Tennessee Conference. He made a similar statement regarding his father?s ancestry. Roddy gave his father?s middle name as ?Harris? and James gave it as ?Horace?. The move from Bedford County to Franklin County evidently occurred between the births of those two sons, each given the respective county as their own birthplace. James Anthony?s statement mentions that his brother Nicholas A. Anthony also volunteered in the CSA in 1861 but was discharged after a few months with a disability. A good deal of information on his family came from my father?s correspondence with Lassie Munsey, a granddaughter of James Frederick Anthony. There is also a family Bible with all his children.
