Company F
James Alexander Cardwell
- Private
James was born 18 Dec 1827 in Smith County Tennessee. In 1860 he is 38 and in Smith County with the Post Office being at Dixon Springs. My research has taken me to the Tennessee State Library and Archives arriving at the Reference Desk. I had found that James had served in Co F 9th Cavalry [Ward's]. James had been drawing a Confederate Pension and when he died on 20 Dec 1903 his wife Lucy F Cartwell [ he had married a cousin] also filed for and received a pension # W429.

As of this posting I have not received the copy of her pension. He had a brother who was in Co. G of the 9th and believe James was with General John Morgan in the Kentucky Campaign and in his raid into Ohio and Indiana. I have not found his archival records.

James died 20 Dec 1903 and is buried at the Dixon Springs Cem. Smith County, Tenn.
