    Notes for ELISHA CONGER TITTSWORTH:

    ELISHA CONCORD TITTSWORTH (08/28/1839 - 05/30/1910)

    Excerpts from Civil War Pension Records obtained from the National Archives, Washington, D. C.
    From the Adjutant General's Office of the War Department. dated November 16, 1896:

    Elisha C. Tittsworth, a farmer from Jefferson County, Tennessee:
    (Personal description: 5 ft. 11-1/4 in. Tall, hazel eyes, dark hair, fair complexion)
    at the age of 2l on June 16, 1858, enlisted at St. Louis, Missouri, and was assigned
    to Capt. Nathaniel Lyon's Company B, 2nd U. S. Infantry and joined the company September 1, 1858
    from Newport Banks, Kentucky; appointed Corporal October 9, 1859; promoted to Sergeant July 1, 1861

    Muster Roll May & June 1862 reports him "Present, slightly wounded June 27, 1862."

    Company was in action at Gaines Mills, VA that date

    Muster roll November & December 1862 reports him: "Deserted from Camp near
    Warrenton, VA, November 11, 1862, a Sergeant."

    Not reported sick on any muster roll other than quoted. He is a deserter at large.

    Pension of $8 per month was dropped February 25, 1897, presumably as a result of this report.

    From the Record and Pension Office, War Department, dated August 24, 1893:

    July 7, 1863, enrolled in Captain John Sommer's Company C, 2nd Regiment, Maryland
    Cavalry. Medical record of November 7, 1863, show him as a member of Company E
    January 31, 1864, mustered out with company.

    From enrollment to mustering out he held the ranks of private and corporal.

    From Elisha's Declaration for an Original Invalid Pension dated January 2. 1890:
    (Personal description: age 50, 6 ft. Tall, dark complexion, dark hair, dark eyes.
    February 15, 1864, enrolled as a private in Luther W. Roberson' s (commander) Company A,
    3rd Regiment of Maryland Volunteer Infantry.

    About July 30, 1864, captured in front of Petersburg and held prisoner in Danville Prison,
    Danvile, VA. His fatigue jacket and hat were taken and he spent the winter in prison without them,
    contracting rheumatism and heart disease as a result. (Confirmed by affidavit of Randolph Gansewig
    of 103 W. Camden Street, Baltimore who was a private in Co. A, 3rd Md. Vol. Inf and was captured
    and imprisoned at Danville with Elisha.)

    About the last of April 1865 treated by the Camp Surgeon for rheumatism and heart disease
    at Camp Tennelytown near Washington City, D.C.

    About July 1, 1865, treated for the same disease by the same surgeon in Camp at Bladensburg and Hyattsville Station on B & 0 R.R.

    July 31, 1865, honorably discharged at DeLaney House, D.C.

    From Bureau of Pensions. Department of the Interior reports:
    $15 per month pension dropped June 30, 1910. (Elisha died May 30, 1910)
    $12 per month pension awarded Catharine H. Tittsworth, widow, on June 24, 1910.

    Miscellaneous:

    Elisha, at the age of 26, married Catharine H. McKinzie, age 21, on November 14, 1865.
    Married by Rev. Dr. I. J. Martin, Minister of the Gospel, residing at Ellicotts Mills.
    Elisha served in the same company and regiment and was a tent-mate with Stephen
    Hillsinger (moved to Ellicott City from New York in 1863). Stephen Hillsinger married Sarah E.
    McKinzie who was Catharine's sister. Sarah and her husband Stephen attended Elisha and
    Catharine's wedding.

    Catharine died of uterine cancer on August 10, 1911. She had had surgery at University of
    Maryland Hospital. Surgery was performed by Dr. Frank Martin. She evidently required nursing care
    from the first of May 1911 until her death. Nursed by Mrs. C. R. (Rose) Tittsworth and Miss Bessie
    Hunt. She was attended by Dr. Wm. B. Gambriul. Among the expenses of her final illness and death
    were $84.38 for the undertaker, Stephen Hillsinger & Son, and $16.00 to C. W. Tucker for cemetery
    expenses. She was buried at St. John's Cemetery, Howard County.

    Records at the Andersonville GA Confederate Prison historical site indicate that Elisha Tittsworth was
    a prisoner there. It was the practice to transfer prisoners from the smaller VA prison sites to the larger
    camp at Andersonville although it was severely overcrowded.

    Burial in St. John's Cemetery, Ellicott City, Howard Co., MD.
