Re: 10th Arkansas Militia -- George Grandv'l Dunn
In Response To: Re: 10th Arkansas Militia ()

To provide a bit more confirming information re. George Grandville Dunn. Our family bible that belonged to Leonidas Clay Hall and Joemma Ruth Dunn Hall records my grandmother's birthdate as Dec. 20, 1874 and I was told she was born in Rutherford County, Tennessee. My grandmother died in 1956 and I attended her funeral. She is buried in the NEW Yorkville cemetary in Yorkville, Tennessee, where George Grandville Dunn is buried as well. (Incidentally, there are three Yorkville Cemeterys. The old cemetery at Yorkville is located north of US highway xx and more or less across the street from the post office. There was a second Yorkville Cemetery located South of Yorkville center and also south of the current, or third Yorkville cemetary. The second cemetery was located on low ground that began to flood and so the graves there, where my grandfather, L.C. Hall was interred in March 1942. His body was relocated some few years later to the current Yorkville Cemetary and placed there near the Dunn grave. You will find markers there close to G.G.D. for two of my uncles, my grandfather, and my grandmother. All previous Hall family graves are at Center Church yard cemetary, a few miles to the west. Sorry, that I have very little on the Arkansas 10'th part of this as NO ONE has ever been able to tell me what unit he served with until NOW! My grandmother did not remember and took no note of it; however, I do remember that she said that her father moved to Arkansas before she was born. I am currently not aware of, nor have I investigated G.G.D. roots in Rutherford County, but I will try soon if I can find anything there. I know that my grandmother, Joemma and my grandfather, L.C. were married in Neboville Methodist Church, aproximately 5 miles south of Yorkville, on the 20th of December,1899. by a Rev. Moody. My grandmother and grandfather lived on Neboville-Yorkville Road for most of their lives (save a short hiatus to New Mexico during the depression) and their younest son, my uncle Joe D. Hall, died on that home site only a few years ago. What IS important here is that I had been told all my life that George Grandville Dunn was a confederate veteran, but I have never been able to find any record of his service. I had emailed the Sons of the Confedracy several times, and not being a student of civil war stuff, I told them I found his name in the "Registry" and was promptly informed, somewhat snipishly, that the "Registry" was for UNION soilders. (Well, heck, I didn't know.) Now your web posts have provided a valuable clue as to what happened! That is why any reply to me would be very much appreciated. j.c.h@comcast.net . PLEASE NOTE THAT MY IP HAS CHANGED AND THAT I INCORRECTLY STATED MY EMAIL ADDRESS AS A .COM IN THE LAST POST!!! Thanks for any info or help or an email contact.
