*There was no Elisha Isaacs who served in the 4th KY Inf., U.S. during the Civil War. He might have been listed on the CW pension index by mistake, having actually served in the Spanish American War.
There
are 27 individuals on this list. Eight were in Company D., 7th KY
Volunteer Infantry and five were in various companies of the 47th KY Volunteer
(Mounted) Infantry. Andrew H. Clark, an attorney from Booneville, Owsley County,
was the original
Captain of Co. D, 7th KY Infantry. He resigned from the 7th KY Infantry
near Vicksburg in February 1863 and returned to Kentucky and became the Colonel who recruited the 47th
KY Mounted Infantry in the summer of 1863. Four individuals were in the 14th KY Volunteer
Cavalry. Three of the four Isaacs from Marion Co. were in the 10th KY Volunteer Infantry.
Isaacs who applied for Federal Civil War Pensions are on Pension Index Microfilm T-288, Roll No. 237. The only Isaacs without any pension records are Darius and Jackson.
