Notes for RICHARD E. SHARP:
Tom,
The only case I found was for the State of Tennessee vs. Richard E. Sharp for gaming (gambling). Gaming was against the law in the 1870s and on. The other Sharps in the state versus files at Project Preservation were African Americans and probably slaves of the Sharp family.

___________________________________________________________________________
It appears to be true that William J. Davis served in the Civil War in Company A, 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, Texas State Troops. Some of us were concerned that at age 45 he would have been too old to serve.
However, the librarian found the muster roll and the entire unit is composed of people mostly in their 40's. The Texas State Troops may have been something like a reserve unit. I am identifying the W. J. Davis on the muster roll as our William J. Davis by his age, given as 45 on the roll dated 16 Mar 1864. This is very consistent with his age as given on censuses.
The additional information given on the muster roll is as follows. W. J. Davis, Private, age 45, joined 15 Jul 1863 in Nacogdoches County, enrolled by Brig. Genl. F. B. Sublett, enrolled for six months, no value assigned to horses, equipment or arms provided by himself, "continued in service six months longer by the Governor of the State".
The other names on the muster roll for that unit are as follows.
Captain S. M. Hyde, 1st Lt. Tom A. Garrett, 2nd Lt. N. B. Branch, 2nd Lt. Philip D. Sanders, 1st Sgt. W. A. Winnord, 2nd Sgt. Eliel Rowe, 3rd Sgt. S. N. Bullock, 4th Sgt. J. T. Childers, 5th Sgt. V. J. Simpson, 1st Cpl. Wm. Anderson, 2nd Cpl. W. B. Campbell, 3rd Cpl. Thos. Hubbard, 4th Cpl. Samuel Hayter.
Privates: James Briley, T. L. Blakey, John Byron, J. W. Burke, E. B. Campbell, Louis Chirino, W. H. Crawford, W. R. Cone, W. J. Davis, David Denny, W. R. Donohoo, W. H. Durrett, Matt Finch, A. L.

The indexer noted that J. B. Johnson, J. R. McKnight, Jesse Wallace and James H. Wallace were originally on the roll but were crossed out because they changed to Eubank's Company.

Notes for CAPT. THOMAS HENRY FINCH:
Enlisted in Company E of the 3rd Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Infantry in 1847 in the War with Mexico. The following was taken from a Franklin County newspaper printed in 1888:
"In the brief but brilliant war with Mexico it is learned that Franklin County furnished Capt. George T. Colyar's Company E. of the Third Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Col. B. F. Cheatham. This company, consisting of 116 men, rank and file, left Winchester in September, 1847, and was mustered into the United States service near Nashville about October 10,1847, and left for Mexico in the same month. Capt. Colyar died January 8, 1848, in the city of Mexico. His remains were sent to his home in Winchester. First Lieut. Sherrod Williams then became captain, and continued as such to the close of the war. The company was discharged about July 22, 1848. The following is a list of the survivors of the company now living in this county: A. J. Caldwell, John Thurman, F. M. Williams, Ed Jackson, William Adcock, David Smith, Nathan Boone and Gordon McCutcheon. The following are living elsewhere: T. H. Finch, Texas; ..."
Early in September, 1860, while court was in session at Winchester, two or three public meetings of a political nature were held, and speeches were made by M. Turney, A. S. Colyar, T. W. Newman, H. T. Carr, Jesse Arledge, Dr. B. W. Childs and others. Much excitement prevailed, and the following was offered by H. T. Carr: " Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting, that in the event of any of the Southern States, should, under the grievous wrongs now pressed upon by the sectional States of the North, secede from the Union, we hold it to be our duty to sympathize with, aid and assist our Southern brethren if an attempt is made to coerce them into submission. "
Pending the discussion of the resolution the meeting adjourned without action thereon. The citizens of Franklin County were mostly extremely Southern in sentiment, and as soon as South Carolina and other States seceded from the Union, were anxious that Tennessee should do likewise.
In the spring of 1861, Thomas Henry Finch enlisted as Captain, Company D of the 17th Tennessee Confederate Infantry Regiment. The most intense excitement over the pending conflict prevailed at that time period. Companies began to form and drill; and soon Capt. Miller Turney's Company C, Clem Arledge's Company F, Capt. Jos Holder's Company I and Capt. N. L. Simpson's Company D, of Col. Peter Turney's First Regiment Tennessee Infantry, were completely organized and ready for the service. These companies were led with their regiment into the Confederate service long before Tennessee seceded from the Union. Then followed Capt. A. S. Marks' Company E, Capt. James Engle's Company I and Capt. Thomas H. Finch's Company D, all of the Seventeenth Regiment Tennessee Infantry. Many joined the Forty- first Regiment Tennessee Infantry, some joined Forrest's cavalry, and many others joined other commands. Including all of the foregoing, together with the recruits that subsequently joined these and other commands, it is safe to say that the county furnished over 8,000 soldiers for the Confederate Army.
The first command of Federal troops that made its appearance in this county was that of Gen. Lytle, who came here in the spring of 1862, with a small command from General Mitchell's division, then encamped at Huntsville. He was in search of Terry's Texas Rangers, who were encamped at Goshen. The day after the arrival of the Federal troops Col. Cox came in on the Decherd road with a squad of rangers. A sharp skirmish ensued, in which one ranger was killed. Col. Cox then retired, and two days later Gen. Lytle returned with his command to Huntsville. Soon thereafter Gen. Negley, with his command, passed through Winchester, on his way to Chattanooga Gen. Buell's army advanced to Decherd, but retired there from when he fell back toward the Ohio River in August, 1862. On July 2, 1863, the army of Gen. Rosecrans took possession of Winchester and in force occupied all the surrounding country. Gens. Rosecrans, Garfield, McCook and others had their headquarters at private houses in the town. The provost-marshal occupied the old office of Dr. Wallis Estill, and Rosecrans' staff occupied the building of the Mary Sharp College. The Normal School building (then Carrack Academy was used as a hospital; and when Winchester was in the rear of Bragg's army almost every available house was used as a hospital. Briggs & Herrick kept a store in Winchester while it was under Federal rule, and were allowed to sell goods to the citizens. Rosecrans was here about six weeks, during which time all the forage in the surrounding country was gathered in for the support of his army. Soon after the Federal Army left, a company of citizens galloped into town and gutted the store of Briggs & Herrick, carrying away nearly all its contents. Gen. Slocum and his command occupied the town a short time thereafter, and Gen. Sherman's army passed through Winchester, on its way to Chattanooga, in the winter of 1863-64.
Franklin County was directly on the line of the contending armies, and consequently her citizens suffered greatly from the ravages of war. No great battles were fought, nor were any extensive fortifications made within the county, and strangers passing through it now could not observe that there had ever been a war here.
Capt. Finch's outfit (17th Confederate Infantry Regiment) was involved in many battles during the course of the three plus years, including: Camp Wildcat at Rock Castle, Kentucky on October 21, 1861; Fishing Creek, near Mill Springs, Kentucky; Munfordville; Perryville, Murfreesboro; Chicamauga; Knoxville; Drewy's Bluff; and Petersburg on June 17, 1864.
Thomas Henry Finch's left arm was amputated on June 29th, 1864, and he was then retired from service.

______________________________________________________________________________________
I found that a Confederate Veteran by the name of Thomas H. Finch (THF) was buried in Oakwood Cem., Ft. Worth at block 11 lot 33 space 5. This could be the brother of Susan Scruggs (Finch) Sharp. I checked with Vickie Plyler of Oakwood Cemetery and she gave me the following data on THF:
Original owner of plot: Col H. A. Finch (lived in Pasadena, CA), THF died in 1889, another contact for THF was Judith S. Finch also shown as living in Pasadena at 260 No. Oakland Ave.
This man was born on the same date as our Thomas Henry Finch, but is shown as:
Lt. 24th Tex. Inf. Was living Bedford, Tex. 1884. Born Aug 22, 1829 - died April 7, 1889. Bur. Oakwood ( block 11 lot 33 space 5).
Our man enlisted as a Lt., but was a Capt., when he resigned, and he was in the 17th TN, rather than the 24th TX.
I believe the person buried at Oakwood is the son of Thomas Finch, and the brother of Susan Scruggs (Finch) Sharp. Furthermore, I believe the information indicating that he was in a Texas unit in the Civil War is incorrect.

July 8, 1863, and is buried in the old Sharp burying ground at Winchester, Tenn.).
Notes for SUSAN SCRUGGS FINCH:
1870 Census list Susan as a Farmer with real estate value of $10K and personal property of $1.5K, and shows her living with all six of her children.
Moved to Texas 5 December, 1874 with her younger children to join her oldest daughter Edna and her husband.
They moved to Navarro Co. TX in 1877.
After March 2, 1871, Southerners with Union leanings could file a claim for reimbursement of their losses. Karen McClendon found in an index of "Civil War Claims by the South, by Gary B. Mills, 1980", showing that Susan filed such a claim on behalf of her husband.
Documentation of the litigation of Susan's claim (actually her husband, Wm. W. Sharp's claim) from the National Archives shows that litigation continued for more than 35 years. The suit of Susan's was won 1907, but unfortunately, long after her death.
The primary hurdle was in proving his loyalty, and the loyalty of his family, to the Federal Government during the Civil War. This was particularly hard to do, because it was known that he voted in favor of secession in an election held in June 1861. It turns out that there was a group of several men that shared William's view that the Civil War was wrong. In fact two of his cousins, John Chitwood (administrator of Wm's estate), and George W. Corn also filed their own claims for compensation from the United States. These three cases became joined together because, in proving the loyalty for any one of them, essentially required that loyalty be shown for them all. As the cases of each of the three cousins were so interrelated with Susan's, documentation for all three of the cousins was reviewed.
The material consists of some two to three hundred pages, and includes Wm. W. Sharp's will. Unfortunately, a great deal of the information is replicated several times (long hand version have been retyped, and recopied several times for inclusion in susequent hearings, etc) and there are a many trivial pages (like covers, etc). Information obtained show losses incurred as reported by a number of witnesses, including Susan's daughter, Edna. This information also provides a glimpse of life during the Civil War in Winchester, Tennessee.

Although a slave owner himself, William was one of a minority in his community who opposed the war between the states. He voted for secession of the South however. It was said that he did so as he knew the election was rigged in a manner such that it would be known how one voted, and anyone voting for the Union would be considered an enemy and "treated accordingly". After March 2, 1871, Southerners with Union leanings could file a claim for reimbursement of their losses. Karen McClendon, a descendant of William's daughter Edna, found in an index of "Civil War Claims by the South, by Gary B. Mills, 1980", showing that his wife Susan filed such a claim on his behalf.
I have obtained the documentation of the litigation of Susan's claim (actually her husband, Wm. W. Sharp's claim) from the National Archives. Litigation continued for more than 35 years, with a favorable settlement in 1907, but unfortunately, long after her death. The primary hurdle was in proving his loyalty, and the loyalty of his family, to the Federal Government during the Civil War. This was particularly hard to do, because it was known that he voted in favor of secession in an election held in June 1861. It turns out that there was a group of several men that shared William's view that the Civil War was wrong. In fact two of his cousins, John Chitwood (administrator of Wm's estate), and George W. Corn also filed their own claims for compensation from the United States. These three cases became joined together because, proving the loyalty for any one of them, essentially required that loyalty be shown for them all. As the cases of each of the three cousins were so interrelated, documentation was obtained for all three cousins.
The material consists of some two to three hundred pages, and includes Wm. W. Sharp's will. Unfortunately, a great deal of the information is replicated multiple times (long hand version have been retyped, and recopied several times for inclusion in susequent hearings, etc) and there are a many trivial pages (like covers, etc). Information obtained show losses incurred as reported by a number of witnesses, including Susan's daughter, Edna. This information also gives one a perspective as to the way things were during the Civil War in Winchester, Tennessee. The more interesting pages have been digitized, and they appear in William Washington Sharp's Scrapbook.
