ROLL OF HONOR
DEATHERAGE VETERANS
If every Deatherage researcher would take one name and order the service or pension record of their veteran, no one would have to incur a large expense. I would be happy to post and attempt to link the veteran to my book. David Yost has volunteered to type the information up if you can't send it electronically. I have listed the name of the person who volunteered to order the information, so there will be no duplication. After we receive the information I will leave the person's name as a contributor. Please contact me if you would like to take a veteran Ric Tobin.

This entry has proven to be rather confusing; but now know this is William Jackson Deatherage of Fulton Co, Arkansas. The Tennessee Confederate Pension Application list was updated and revised in 1995 by Sistler Publications in conjunction with the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The above entry was revised to W. M. Deatherage, Roane Co, Tennessee. This pension application as well as the supporting oaths lists the applicant as W.M. Deatherage. The only variation on this is that the application is signed Wm. Deatherage. "I, W.M. Deatherage, a native of the State of Tennessee and now a citizen of (Tennessee marked through) ARK, resident at Viola, in the County of Fulton in the State of (Tennessee marked through) ARK, and who was a soldier from the State of Tennessee ...
