Re: Jasper Newton Anderson

jdhitt1942 — 2012-11-27 01:56:13Z

Newton Jasper Anderson born 1833 in Buncombe NC. Died 20July 1886 in South Fork twp Montgomery Co.,Ar
Newton was a brother to my G Grandfather Allen Bronston Anderson.
ANDERSON, Newton Jasper (1833 - 1886)

ANDERSON, Newton Jasper
CSA- Pvt. Company C. 4th AR. Inf.
Newton Jasper Anderson was born in 1833, in Buncombe Co. N.C., William G. and Dorcas Anderson. After moving to Tennessee, the family left that state in 1854, headed for Arkansas. A large caravan of people traveling by ox wagons, swam the Mississippi river. They tied their wagon beds down to keep them from floating off. This group of people also included the Browns, Wheelers and Scott's. They arrived in Mt. Ida, Arkansas in November of that year.

Newt married Susan D. Brown on Feb. 18, 1857 at Mt. Ida. On April 1,1862, he enlisted in the Confederate States army at Ozark, Arkansas. He was mustered into Co. C, 4th Rgmt. Arkansas Infantry, "Caddo Rifles", as a private. Newt's brothers also served for the Confederacy. His brother-in-law, 3rd Sergeant T. J. Brown, served in Co. F, 4th Arkansas Infantry. Companies C and F saw a great deal of military action while east of the Mississippi. They took an active part in the battles at Richmond, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Chickamauga, Franklin, and Perryville and in the Georgia Campaign. Newt was hospitalized for three months in 1863, at Montgomery, Alabama, for which he received extra pay of 25 cents per day. He served until the close of the war.

After the war, Newt was a carpenter, and at one time lived in Washington County. In 1874, Newt and some other people, were victims of a tornado, which blew them into a well. They landed on some boards and did not drown. Newt died on July 20, 1886 while residing at South Fork Township, Mt. Ida, Arkansas and was buried at Owley Cemetery near Mt. Ida. On March 11, 1901, Newt's widow, Susan, began receiving a pension for his Confederate service. Newt and Susan were the parents of eight children. Submitted by R. Douglas Anderson, 3rd great grandson of Newt and Susan Anderson. Posted 10 Dec. 2000.
