Benjamin Tilley
Posted by Keith Long (LongKD@aol.com) on Sun, 26 Mar 2000
Surname: Tilley, Bradley
BENJAMIN WAS A PREACHER WHO ESTABLISHED TILLEY BAPTIST
CHURCH, FANNIN COUNTY, GA IN 1858.Benjamin enlisted in Co E 11th GA Inf CSA on July 3, 1861. He is also the
same Benjamin M. Tilley who served in Company H, 52nd Regiment, Georgia
Volunteer Infantry "Fannin Rifles", CSA. Benjamin deserted from the
Confederate Army and enlisted in Co H 10th Tenn Cav of the Union Army on
August 28, 1864 at Morganton, GA and was honorably discharged on August 1,
1865. His service documents indicate that he was 5'10" tall with a fair
complexion, light hair, and blue eyes. He applied for and received a disability pension. After he died his widow, Rebecca Jane Bradley Tilley, applied for and received a widower's pension until her death.When the federal government learned that he had been in the Confederate
Army his pension was cut off. In his application to have the pension reinstated, Benjamin Tilley wrote the following in a letter to the Commissioner of Pensions:-------------------------------------------------
Wilscot, P.O., Fannin CO, GA, 3-23-04, Honorable Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.Dear Sir,
I am making this statement under oath. As you stated the medical examination
which was by Dr. T. T. Fain of Blue Ridge, ga that there was not anything the
matter with me while I was droped from the Pension Rolls for Confederate
Service, the oposite of which has and can be shown by all my neighbors and
several Doctors. I am as justly entitled to that arrears as any one. I did no
voluntary service in the Rebel army. I enlisted in it as it was the only safe
chance to git from here to the union lines. I made the attempt to go over on
Bragg's Raid into Kentucky, but was caught up, put under gard and come very
near being shot. Sent to Vicksburg, Miss, was not allowed to go out of camp till the surender. Was kept on Fatigue duty right in camp till the 16th night of June, 63. Was put on guard with a doubble pickett with orders to shoot me down if I made a suspicious move.The surrender come. I took a Parole and went home. Stayed a little while.
Started to go back to the 52nd Ga Regt near Chattanooga, Tenn. Took the
Great Frog Mountain Range by the way of Cleveland, Tenn. Joined the union
army and went with General W. T. Sherman on that famous march to relieve
General Burnside at Knoxville, Tenn. We went back to Chattanooga, drove
Bragg and his Rebels to Atlanta. I belonged to an Ohio Regt. Me and an Ohio
soldier was on Picket east of the city. It came our turn to stand guard. After dark we went a little in advance of the line by permision to a well to git watter for the night. While we was drawing up the watter about 15 Rebel cavalry dashed up, shoved us into a thicket, carried us about a mile into a dense thicket, gave us a little cold cornbread for supper, tied up their horses and all lay down around us, but about six who kept out on gard. Morning came, they said I was a southern Boy. I did not talk like the yanks. One said he believed he knew me, had seen me in the confederate army somewhere. I knew from his talk it might be so, but fortunatly I had enlisted under a fictitious name for fear of being capture. My comrade told them what my name was. He did not know what my name really was. So they concluded to take us around to the Ga troops and parade us about and see if he was not right. They had talked about the 52nd Ga being there so they started us in charge of 2 of the crowd. I lerned one of them was the same name of a man that had married some of my distant kinfolks. As we went along I said to my comrade as a feeler if old John Long at Tolledo Ohio wouldn't be sorry to hear we had been captured. Why said that gard, that's the name of my brotheringlaw up in the mountains..... Then as we walked along before them I whispered loud to comrade I won't go. Now what's our course to persue? Their guns was well loaded, them riding along behind us Boasting they had Buck Shot enough in the guns to kill a lane full of yankies.He said in a whisper it won't do to run. No, said I. Our chance is to spring at them, seize their guns, jerk them off, and kill them with theirs own guns. Said I, will you do it? I had a hazel swich in my hand now whispered I, when I strike your leg with the swich take the one on your left and I will the other. The plan was laid and the few minutes that expired while I was looking for a suitable place to make the attack, thought succeeded thought with seeming trebble Electrice speed for it was to be a fight to the finish. Could we suceed without arms and them well armed and bisides larger and stouter than we. I did not intend to go and so was prepared for the warst. The place was found as I raised the swich my heart come up, too. Knowing someone had to die (I struck). We sprang like tigers on the thoughtless Prey. God was on the right side for we seized the guns. I had no troubble in gitting mine when he come off the horse struck on alfours and never got up. Ohio was not so lukey. The muzzle of his gun caught in the old cloth Bridal Rein, frightien the horse and he jerked the gun from them both, but Ohio with the courage of a Lion ran into his man with his onley weapon, his fist. When I got through with my man and turned to see what had become of Ohio, they was 15 or 20 steps down below fighting, a fight it was. I ran in. They was so closely engaged, I was affraid to strike. I clubed the musket, struck his man across the head. We carried the guns a short distance to a creek and threw them in; left the horses there (and ran). The next 5 days experiance wold fill a volume Bordering on the incredulous. We was then several miles from our lines and the Rebs hovering so close and thick. I told my dear ma we could not git back. We was in about 75 miles of my home and our onley chance was under cover of night to git further away from the armys. Strike the Blue Ridge mountains where we would find friends penty for the people was nearly all loyal union people. I knew the cours we was 5 days and nights making the 75 miles a time never to B forgot.
We got to my home the Rebs had run papa off. He left to avoid conscription
and was somewhere in Tenn in the army. So we stayed a short time here to rest
for another long creep through the great Frog Mountains to git inside our lines about Chattanooga and rejoin our command wherever it might be. We was
several days and nights gitting through. We found the best place to git back was Cleveland, Tenn. There I met several acquiantances and one said Father was in the 10th Tenn Cavly at Pulaski sick. He had just saw him a few days before insisted that I go back with him. This was Capt John B. Duff Co A, 10 Tenn Cav. So I thought I would go and see him and then go on to my old Co and
Regt where I had been for about a year. I went.Well I had not took up a cent of my pay nor Bounty. I thought if I lived I would need it when I got home for I knew the Rebs would destroy and take all we had; and could not send it home nor did I need it nor have any way to save. Well when I got to wher Father was him and my (afterwards) Fatheringlaw, several unkles and cozens was all there in the army. They all got at me to enlist and stay with them. So as I had drew no money from the government I could see no wrong in doing so. Father died Sept 27 - 64. Nearly all my folks died or was killed in the union army. It is a matter of record and proof that I did more hard service than any man in the Co, served honestly and faithfully till the close of the war, was Honorably Discharged. The Rebs had destroyed and taken all mother had and drove her and her six little children across the lines into Tenn where I found them after the war was over and fortunately I had not drew a cent of pay again and got it all at discharge. I was the oldest boy. I took care of and raised the children, got mother a little Pension, helped a heap till she died.
Now about that first enlistment. Sure enough that fellow had seen me and had a bad set of folks right here in this county and they say it is a mystery what ever went with his brother. I have neve told yet here for I knew if it ever got out more of us would go the same way he did, that as I served under a false name the government might keep the $100.
It has always seemed to me that I had a charmed life in all the fighting down
the western and Atlalic Railway to Atlanta wher I was captured, then in all the fighting of J. B. Hood in Ala and Tenn I never lost a day with sickness nor missed my part of duty till about the 16th or 17th of Dec 1864 at Nashville. In a charge on a Rebel fort - a shell exploded right in our Co killing my horse. The concusion was so fearfully hard I have never heard a bit out of the right ear nor mutch out out of the left. I stayed with the Co then at Gravity Springs cold nearly froze to death, contractid Rheumatism. I never aimed to ask or aply for a Pension if I had not took Lagrippe in January 1890 which so prostrated me and aggravated the deafness and Rheumatism as to render me unable to do any work for a long time and since but little I am now a wreck mentally and Physically.B.M. Tilley
Sworn to affiant is creditable
