FORD, LODEN OR LOGAN

I am searching for the parents of my gggrandfather James G. Ford. James G. Ford was born in Bledsoe County, Tn in 1830. Another member of the family was Reuben Ford who married Susan Loden or Logan. Ruben and Susan were from Virginia, but came to Bledsoe County, Tenn. James G. Ford married Catherine, do not know her maiden name. I believe that Reuben Ford was either a brother or the father of James G. Ford, but need proof of it. James G. and Catherine left Tenn and moved to Benton County, Arkansas. Reuben and Susan went there also. After the death of James and Catherine before 1866, Reuben and Susan raised their four sons, one of which was my great grandfather. The sons were, John Walker Ford, Andrew Jackson Ford, Charlie C. Ford, Robert Ford and James. James was accidentally killed when he was small. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

43RD TENN. INFANTRY, CSA

I am developing a regimental history of my ggrandfather's, James Madison Martin, regiment, the 43rd Tennessee Infantry, CSA, intend to publish which will include a complete roster, by individual companies, including as much pertinent biographical information possible on each of the soldiers. He had three brothers in Co. K including Issac Martin who died at Vicksburg. I have the national archives microfilm rolls of the regiments service records, Official Records of the War, Tennesseans in the Civil War, and most of the basic reference works . Since most official confederate army records did not survive, I am looking for letters, diaries, momentos, photos, papers, histories, etc., Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. A memorial ceremony will be conducted on Confederate Memorial Day, April 26, 1998 (I believe) at the Vicksburg, Miss. City Cemetery dedicating newly placed tomb stones for Confederate soldiers, including 31 of those from the 43rd Tenn.
