John Halcum, born 1832. I had found him listed as born in Alabama and 1/2 Creek Indian. I have a copy of a Pension application from Nancy Brazil that gives his Civil War Information. I have records of his enlistment from the TN Archives and he was in the 8th Tennessee Mounted Infantry, Company B. He listed his birthplace as Jackson County, TN. Also in his company was a Green Brasil from Jackson County. In 1850 there was a Nancy Halcum in Jackson County. Does anyone have any information in regard to the above? Their son John was married to Laura Whitaker in Jackson County in 1894. I have a copy of their bond from the TN Archives. Their actual marriage was reported at a later date. Any information on the above would be appreciated. Nancy Brazil was reported to have been disinherited because of her marriage to John Thomas Halcum. She was reported to be of Dutch descent. Any info on the above would be appreciated.
