Nancy [Bill's Nutt.FTW] He was killed at the Battle of Franklin in the Civil War. (See book by Christine Weatherall Damon) Email from Barbara Higdon, October, 2003, to William Damon, source Sammye Jo Lawson: Thanks! I appreciate the information. I can add a little to William C. Nutt's war history from what I have read. I don't think he was killed in the Battle of Franklin. I don't know that much about the Civil War but he was going another direction. I'll type this as I look through the pages. I hope this won't make it confusing. The first one is from a book on the Civil War by Mike Grimes. Something happened to him that took his life. It could have been sickness but he was in heavy fighting. Here is what Mike has written, "W. C. Nutt enlisted Nov. 29, 1861 at Newburg. He was a Corporal. He was wounded in the face and hand at the battle of Richmond, KY on Aug. 30, 1862. He was captured at port Hudson, Louisiana on July 9, 1863. He is listed as being a prisoner of war with Whiteside's Tennessee Battery. He was paroled at Port Hudson on July 12, 1863. He is not found in the 1860 census. Due to the fact that he enlisted at Newburg it is surmised that he was a resident of Lewis County." The only thing I find question with is the parole. He didn't make it home. I have a friend who researches the Civil War - Bill Jackson. He has given me this information. "William C. Nutt - Company C of the 48th Tennessee Infantry (Voorhies') Company C was made of men from the Maury County area. It was later renamed Company E." In the papers that I have seen that he wrote - I see that he was in the war in Maury Co. on Dec. 16, 1862. He had hoped to get his picture taken as he went through for his girlfriend but didn't get to. Then the date January 2nd, 1864 Camp near Dalton Georgia Whitfield Co. Camp near Fort Hudson - parish La. April the 11, 63 Camp near Port Hudson Ga. March ? / 63 Then I have a letter written by Bill Jackson to me: "Port Hudson, Louisiana East Feliciana Parish This was where the longest siege of US military history took place. The 48 (Voorhies was assigned ther until May 3, 1863, at which time they were ordered north into Mississippi as part of Joe Johnson's Army of Relief to take part in an effort to break the siege of Vicksburg. Their efforts were futile, they got held up in Jackson and at the time of the surrender of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, they had only made it as far as the ferry crossing on the Big Black River. Billy Jackson Confederate Historian" Then I have a condolence letter written to his father from a gentleman where he had spent two weeks during the war. I won't type that as it was what I sent your friend last night and she probably sent it along. If not and you want it let me know. This family lived in Madison Ky and the boys were headed for Richmond. The sympaty letter was written April 7, 1866 I do have a poem William wrote. You can tell he knew the end was coming. He had already been shot in the face and hand. I wish I had a date but don't. It is: [End of email]
