Andrew Nelson Hope - Private
Andrew Nelson Hope -- Private, 2nd Tennessee Infantry, Company A.
(Also listed as A.N. Hope)

Born: Aug. 1841, Roane County, Tennessee
Died: 19 Nov 1911, Chattanooga, Hamilton, Tennessee

Relatives who served:
David Lawson Hope, brother, 2nd Tennessee Infantry (Company A)
Hardin Goddard Hope, brother, 10th Tennessee Cavalry (Company K)

Andrew served from the spring of 1863 to the fall of 1864. He escaped the Skirmish at Rogersville, 6 Nov 1863, according to family lore:

"During the skirmish at Rogersville, Andrew was able to avoid capture by riding his horse across Big Creek. In his bold escape, rebels noticed Andrew as he rode down the creek banks -- apparently, he was waving his kepi and shouting at the advancing rebels. A Confederate soldier shot at Andrew from across the creek, one shot striking Andrew in the left breast, however, Andrew did not die. The bullet lodged in Hope's plug of Brown's Mule Chewing Tobacco as he rode away, escaping capture."

David Hope was confined to Belle Isle prison, on the James River, during the winter of 1863. He was sent to Andersonville Prison in late February 1864 but did not make the complete journey. David Hope, and other prisoners, were left at Augusta, Georgia, for medical treatment. He passed away near the same time he was dropped from the trip.

John M. Looper - Private
John Looper enlisted on 20 May 1862, and enrolled on 10 July 1862 at Huntsville for a three-year term in the U.S. Army, 2nd Tennessee Infantry. After a number of engagements, including the occupation of Cumberland Gap in the summer and autumn 1862; the Battle of Stones River, 2-3 Jan. 1863; Buffington Island and Salineville, 19 and 26 July 1863 (capture of Morgan's raiders); and the Battle of Blue Springs 10 Oct. 1863, Looper was captured with most of his regiment at the Battle of Rogersville, Tenn., on 6 Nov. 1863. He was imprisoned at Richmond's Belle's Isle later that month, spent a hard winter on open ground without fires and only one ragged blanket to sleep on, and was sent to Andersonville Prison in Georgia on 18 February 1864. We know little of his experiences there, except that his brother Emerson, who had enlisted with him, died there of dysentery on 19 June 1864, and that family tradition says he had to eat rats to survive and that his bones were sticking through his skin. John was paroled to Charleston, S.C., on 10 Dec. 1864, and exchanged at Annapolis, Md., on 23 Feb. 1865. After his exchange he went via Baltimore and Cincinnati to Nicholasville, Ky., and then walked part of the way to Somerset, Ky., not making more than 4 miles some days because of weakness. He did not serve again, and was discharged on 19 June 1865 at Knoxville, Tenn.

If he hadn't survived, I wouldn't have been born!
