54 years ago, were received in due course of mail.
The old letter made me think of old times, when
Ridley was a little baby, and Mama and I lived at the

Draper. I was glad to see the old letter once more.
Glad that the Good Lord had let me live over 54 years
after writing it, and I sure thank Him for my long
life, as I will be 81 years old next June 15th, if I
live to see that day come. As I have butted up
against a number of sad things since February the
28th, 1877. My Poor father, Sister Vick, Aunt
Margaret & Uncle Elihue (Elihu--FWW),Aunt Phama, Aunt
Elizabeth, all my poor Mother's Sisters, and all
her brothers except two, my Grand Pa, Grand Ma
Maxwell, Poor Little Ruby(Authur's daughter), some of
my Cousins, Cate (Moyer's daughter), some of my good
friends and School Mates, have all crossed that "Old
River Jordan" since 1877. My Poor Mother [Eliza Maxwell] died on October 2nd, 1871, and is buried on a high hill
overlooking Steelville, Crawford County, Missouri. My
brother G.D. Stone died in 1873 in July, think 10th,
and is buried in Grand Pa Maxwell's old family grave

Tenn. My Father, and Sister Vick, poor souls, died
at Quebeck (White County, Tennessee--FWW)."

Enoch H. Stone enlisted in the 1st Middle Tennessee Cavalry Regiment,U.S.A., on July 22, 1862, at Nashville, Tennessee. He was 34 years old,was born in Jackson County, Tennessee, and was a farmer and a teacher byoccupation. He had grey eyes, brown hair, a fair complextion [sic], andstood five feet four inches tall.

In September 1862, Enoch was listed as a Corporal in Captain Blackburn's Company, 1st Middle Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, which later became Company A of the 5th Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, U.S.A. His promotion toCorporal dated from September 9, 1862, and his horse and equipment wasfurnished by the U.S.

In March 1863, Enoch was listed as "absent" and had been sick in ahospital in Murfreesboro since March 21, 1863. The following month he waslisted as "absent" again but this time he was on detached service inCompany I.

On August 5/6, 1863, he was commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant in Company I.The letter ordering his promotion read:

U.S. Mustering and Disbursing Office,
(No. 35 South Vine Street,)
NASHVILLE, TENN.,
December 29th, 1863



General:

Please order the discharge of Corporal Enoch H. Stone, Co. "A" 5th Cavy. Tenn. Vols. from August 5th, 1863, to enable me to muster him in under aCommission which has been rendered him by the Governor of Tennessee.

I am,
General,
Your obt. svt.,
I. R. Tanton.
Capt. 15 Infy.
Mustg. Officer for Tennessee

To--
Brig. Genl. Wm D. Whipple
Chief of Staff
Dept. of the Cumberland
Chattanooga, Tenn.

On a muster dated January and February 1864, it states that Enoch lost inaction one horse and two Colt pistols, which were stolen. The same islater stated on a muster dated March and April 1864.

Nevertheless, on a Field and Staff Muster Roll, dated July and August1864, Enoch was listed as Acting Regimental Adjutant and the order(Special Regimental Order No. 29) promoting him to this position wasdated July 31, 1864.

From the time that Enoch enlisted, until he resigned his commission, hewas only listed as "absent" due to illness once. It is, however, a bitdifficult to determine exactly where Enoch was during the course of thewar since the various companies of the the 5th Tennessee Cavalry Regimentwere oftentimes detached and either served as semi-independent commandsor were otherwise attached to other commands. But, on August 8, 1864,after having been elected County Court Clerk of Putnam County, Tennessee,and having served a little over two years, Enoch tendered hisresignation. The order (Special Order No. 129) discharging him from thearmy was dated September 10, 1864, but his name still appeared on CompanyI's Muster-out Roll at Pulaski, Tennessee, on August 14, 1865.

A copy of Enoch's letter of resignation, along with his military andpension records, was enclosed from the National Archives in 1981 and theletter reads:

Hd Qrs 5th Tenn. Cav.
(?) Tenn. Aug. 8, 1864

Brig. Gen. W.D. Whipple
A. A. G. Dept. Cumberland

in letter by Enoch Stone to Alene in 1963, Enoch referred to a picture, stating:
However, I had an old picture of our grandfather Stone, and his first wife, Eliza Maxwell Stone [Eliza Maxwell], our grandmother, and she is the one that died out West and was buried at Steelville, Crawford County, Missouri, while on their way from Kansas back to Tennessee. She certainly did marry a Union sympathizer, as the writing on the back of the enclosed picture will show."

Letter by Enoch (son of Cicero) to Arlene on 11 Mar 1963 quoted a letter that Enoch Herschel wrote to his brother Elihu while Elihu was living in Kansas, on 9 Apr 1882.

To allay all doubt as to Enoch Herschel Stone [Enoch Herschel Stone] being your grandfather, I will quote from an old letter I have here from him written to Elihue Stone [Elihue Stone] his brother, while he Elihue lived in Kansas

Quote: "Cicero still lives at Bloomington and Vick
lives with him. Newton is there going to school.
Herschel is still living at his Uncle Geo.
Anderson's. Aut is now at home. Moyers lives close
to me and farming. Cleopatrae & Omega, Euclid & Mary
are all at home growing finely. Minerva has only had
two children. Mary is the youngest will be 7 years
old the last day of July."

This old letter was headed White Co. Tenn. and dated
April 9, 1882.

Now quoting a little further from the same old letter,
Quote: "I suppose Phama, wrote you about the death
of Nelly Moyers, she died last January at her Uncle
Geo. Anderson's with consumption. John her brother
came to see her while she was sick, and I think she
died the next day after he left."

mentioned in letter from Cicero to his son Enoch. Then quoted in a letter from Enoch to his cousin Alene in a letter 3 Jan 1963. He was naming those who had died since he had written a letter 28 Feb 1877 to Aunt Margaret and named his father.

Enoch goes on to write, "Now, as to Grand Pa Stone, he was in the Union Army and fought in the Civil War, and my father said he was a captain (2nd Lieutenant--FWW). I have an old picture of him and Grand Ma (Eliza), taken when they were young, and he is dressed in a Captain's Uniform (?--FWW). His brother Uncle Elihu was with Sherman on his march to the sea. Well, like all soldiers, I guess he had to do what he was told."
(see attached)

Enoch married Eliza Maxwell about 1849 in Jackson Co, Tennessee. Eliza (daughter of Amos Maxwell and Mary "Polly" Patton) was born on 25 Nov 1829 in Jackson Co, Tennessee; died on 2 Oct 1871 in Steelville, Crawford Co, Missouri; was buried in Steelville, Crawford Co, Missouri.

Other-Begin:
Mentioned by implication in letter from Cicero to his son Enoch dated 26 Apr 1931 listing those who had died since last letter of 28 Feb 1877; then quoted in letter from Enoch to his cousin Alene in a letter dated 3 Jan 1963:
"...all my poor Mother's [Eliza Maxwell] Sisters [implied: Zerilda Jane, Amanda Elizabeth, Maranda, Permelia, Milda Jane] , and all her brothers [Pickney C, Wilson Perkins, Granville Cecil, William Wade, Alvin C, Bird Cantrell, Sean P.] except two..." [? all dead by 1931]


Also in letter that Enoch wrote in 1963; he discusses the possibility of Eliza having a sister Harriot. She did not.
He also discusses the possibility of the Maxwells being related to the Maxwell House family. It appears they are not.

A 2nd letter dated March 11, 1963, also to Arlene:
However, I had an old picture of our grandfather Stone, and his first wife, Eliza Maxwell Stone [Eliza Maxwell], our grandmother, and she is the one that died out West and was buried at Steelville, Crawford County, Missouri, while on their way from Kansas back to Tennessee. She certainly did marry a Union sympathizer, as the writing on the back of the enclosed picture will show."

Notes:

Residence:
Quote: "Your letter of 8th, Instant, together with an old letter I wrote to Aunt Margaret Stone, now over 54 [1877] years ago, were received in due course of mail. The old letter made me think of old times, when Ridley was a little baby, and Mama and I lived at the Ann Dowell place near your Uncle Stone's place. The Ann Dowell place then belonged to your Grand Ma Draper. I was glad to see the old letter once more. (see attached)
