Notes:

From the History of the 13th Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, US Army

LIEUT. ALFRED C. WILLIAMS, CO. F.
Alfred C. Williams was a native of Stony Creek, Carter county, Tenn., and was
a true Union man. The Adjutant-General's report gives no record of his service
except that he was 2d Lieut, of Company F. We have been unable to obtain
further information from his friends or relatives.

According to our recollection he was mustered into the service on the
organization of the company September 22, 1863, but we do not know the date of
his resignation. We know that he served for a considerable time as an officer
and that he performed his duties faithfully as far as his physical ability
would permit. He was frequently off of duty on account of ill health. After
the war he returned to Carter county where he lived a respected citizen until
his death, which occurred at Elizabethton, Tenn., Aug. 28, 1900.

Alfred married Rebecca Berry on 29 Jun 1843 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Rebecca was born about 1824; died about 1894. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Mary Lincoln Stover about 1815 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Mary (daughter of Daniel Stover and Phoebe Ward) was born on 20 Jul 1797 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; died about 1859 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
