Notes for Nelson W. Thurston:
[Guild.ged.FTW]
His Civil War pension indicates that he enlisted on 23 December 1862 with
with Co F, 8 Michigan Cavalry. He enlisted at Schoolcraft Mi. He deserted and
was arrested 16 Jan 1863. He was sent to his regiment 10 Dec 1864 and restored
to duty without trial by command of Brig Gen. Johnson, with loss of all pay
and allowances from his unlawful absence. 31 Dec 1864 was the first roll on
which his name appears present. He mustered out 22 Sep 1865 with remarks
"Deserted Jany 25, 1863 and arrested Oct 25 1864 to forfeit all pay and
allowances for 1 Yr. 9 mo. and 4 days." He was a Pvt.
The form gives a description of him as being age 20 years, height
5 ft. 6 and one quarter inches tall, complexion light, eyes blue,
hair light, born Oh., occupation Railroader. "Not found on rolls as Nelson N.
Thurston." (He was Nelson W. Thurston). "As taken [prisoner] Pr. Co. F, 8 Mi.
Cav. Nov to Dec 7, 64, Tonsilitis. Nothing additional found."On his
application for pension in 1891, Lockport NY, he claimed that he had "disease
of the lungs." His name was signed Nelson N. Thurston (the W. looking like an
N.) Copy of marriage certificate filed with the application made by his wife #3
after his decease listed his parents as Jonas and Lydia (Parker) Thurston.
In another section it gave his name as Nelson W. Thurston. He had bronchial
problems after the war and had a bad cough.
In an interview with his granddaughter, Florence (Thurston) Cox, Florence said
that her grandfather came from Michigan to visit them in Lockport, caught a bad
cold and it turned into pneumonia. The doctor told him not to go back to Mich.
until he was better, but he returned to Michigan anyway and died there shortly
afterwards.
Eight companies of the regiment left Mt. Clemens (Mi) May 12, 1863 and the other
four companies joined the regiment in Kentucky May 26. The Eighth saw actual
service June 19th at Triplet's Bridge, Where it met the enemy and drove him in
confusion into the mountains, killing and capturing a number of confedrates and
taking twenty prisoners.
It was actively engaged during the month and July 5th was at Lebanon, Ky, where
the confederate raider, John Morgan, had looted and burned a portion of the
town and afterward was suffered to escape almost without loss, but through no
fault of the officers and men of the Eighth Calvary.
Had the Union forces, consisting of the Fifth Kentucky and Eighth and Ninth
Michigan Calvary, been led by their commanding officer with the same dash and
spirit that cavalry officers exhibited later in the war, the forces under
Morgan would have been dispersed or captured and his raid brought to a speedy
and inglorious end.
After Morgan's escape from Lebanon, he made his sensational but disastrous
march through Indiana and Ohio, where he was finally driven to cover and
captured.
The Eighth was one of the regiments to follow his trail and overtook him at
Buffington Island, July 19th, some 250 miles east of Cincinnati, where a number
of regiments and detachments succeeded in charging and demoralizing Morgan's
command. The Eighth made a brilliant dash and after dispersing the enemy
captured 573 of them, with their horses and equipment.
The regiment, except the detachments that were absent on scouting duty, with
other troops started in pursuit of the confederate general and went by rail to
Columbus, Ohio, and then to Steubenville and after marching in search of the
confederates almost continuously night and day, reached Salineville, where a
detachment of the Ninth Michigan Cavalry had a severe engagement with Morgan,
driving him in confusion from the field.
The Eighth now advanced rapidly, fearing that Morgan would escape, and finally,
after hard marching, succeeded in bringing him to bay, when Morgan and the
remnant of his command, amounting to but a few hundred men, surrendered.
In August, 1863, the Eighth was assigned to the First Brigade, Second Calvary
Corps, and marched from Kentucky to participate in the East Tennessee campaign.
During the month of September the regiment was constantly in the saddle,
scouting and skirmishing with the enemy, and on the 26th the Cavalry Brigade,
of which the Eighth was formed a part, was attacked by General Forest with a
force estimated at 15,000.
The Union forces were not strong enough to withstand General Forest and were
pushed back to Loudon, stubbornly contesting the ground all the way.
During October the Eighth was at Athens, Sweetwater, Oak Springs and Kingston,
Tenn., and in its numerous engagements suffered severely in killed, wounded and
prisoners.
November, 1863, the Eighth was at Lenoir, Tenn., where it met the advancing
forces of General Longstreet, who was then marching upon Knoxville. The
confederates slowly pushed the Union Troops before them until they retired
behind their works in Knoxville and Fort Saunders. The Eighth helped to defend
Knoxville and when the siege was raised followed the retreating enemy,
harrassing him at every opportunity.
During the last of the year 1863 and the first of 1864 the Eighth was on duty
in the field continuously, though suffering severely from the harships incident
to that campaign. The weather was severely cold and stormy, rations were so
hard to secure that men and horses were often brought to the verge of
starvation, and blankets and clothing so worn as to be no protection against
the cold and tents were unknown. The severe marching without forage had killed
so many horses that the regiment was dismounted, as no animals could be found
to replace those worn out and exhausted.
The regiment was then marched on foot across the Cumberland mountains, from
Knoxville, Tenn. to Mt. Sterling, Ky., a distance of more than 200 miles, over
almost impassable roads.
The Eighth was remounted and received new equipments and started in June to
join General Sherman on the Atlanta campaign.
While serving under General Stoneman it participated in the raid to Macon,
meeting a disastrous reception, but fighting gallantly until surrounded by
superior numbers. The whole command then had to cut their way out as best they
could.
The six regiments under General Stoneman marched to Macon, where he burned a
large railroad bridge and destroyed an immense amount of public property and
supplies destined for the confederate army.
General Stoneman's force was too small to cope with the garrison at Macon and
as soon as he withdrew the confederate troops followed him, while other bodies
of confederates were sent to meet his advance.
His command was eventually surrendered and he allowed the different
organizations to cut their way out and save themselves if possible. Then
followed desperate charges and repulses, fighting mounted and dismounted, with
the hope of escape.
The Eighth acted most gallantly in these trying situations and fought so long
as there was anything to gain by fighting, and then a large number saved
themselves by taking different directions and secreting themselves in the woods
and marching nights toward the Union lines. Many were taken prisoners and
others returned to Marietta and were then sent to Nicholasville, Ky.
In October the Eighth left Nicholasville for Nashville and from Nashville to
Pulaski to meet the advancing army of General Hood and keep General Thomas at
Nashville advised of the movements of the confederate troops.
In performing this duty the regiment was constantly in the presence of the
enemy and being a force of observation was slowly driven back towards Nashville
by Hood's strong Infantry columns. It took part in many severe encounters
during this period, but the first of December it fell back behind the defenses
of Nashville and was held in reserve until Dec. 22. (About this time is when
our ancestor, Nelson Thurston, rejoined his regiment.)
In January, 1865, the Eighth was at Pulaski, Tenn, and remained in this
section of the state driving out the guerillas until September, when it was
mustered out and returned to Jackson, Mich. where it was paid and disbanded
Sept. 28, 1865.
