CSA #12 (AD) (4-Margin
with a little edge gum toning and a minor corner fault at the upper
right) tied by an Army
of Northern Virginia Field Target
cancel. Addressed to Mr. Jas. A. Debnam, Louisburg (Franklin County),
N. Carolina. James A. Debnam had a son in the Army of Northern
Virginia, Thomas R. Debnam in Co G 47th
NC Inf.
Private Debnam is listed as having Died of Disease but a date is not
given. Also in the same company was Private William R. Debnam. Thomas
and William were not brothers but were most likely cousins as the
company was raised in Franklin County NC and they enlisted at the same
time about one month apart. Private William R. Debnam was transferred
into Co D 8th NC Inf
on
1/3/1863. The 8th NC Inf was part of the ANV in late 1864. Not sure
which one of these two soldiers sent the cover as could not find a date
of death for the son. Part of backflap missing, but still a
very clean cover. |
