Notes:
June 2010, Wilma Harrison said William is burried at Letitia Cemetary east of Lawton and a grand son applied for his head stone to be supplied by the government due to his Civil War service and the government did supply the head stone.
The1910 census indicates William's parents were both born in Tennessee, although the later 1920 census states this is unknown.
June 2010, found a few records online of William's Civil War service, but could not find him listed online on the rosters for his regiment. I did find it strange that there were was a William S Glasgow and a W S Glasgow in the same company of only a few men. This may be a typo from who ever typed the information for the internet.
Also, I could not figure out why William would be in Marion, Alabama in 1850, in Tishimingo, Mississippi in 1860 and then go hundreds of miles back to Marion, Alabama to in list for the Civil War. Further research of maps shows Marion, Alabama is not in Marion County. Marion County, Alabama borders Tishomingo County, Mississippy.
I also could not find William on a Census just after or in the 20 years following the Civil War. More research needs to be done in these two bordering counties. William was 50 when he married Louisa, he may have had a whole other family with grown children when he married Louisa who was 20 years younger than he was.
American Civil War Soldier Record indicates William served in the Confederate Army. He enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant and was commissioned in Company G 13th Infantry Regiment for Alabama. Source record 425.
1910 United States Federal Census Record for Liberty Precinct, Tishomingo County, Mississippi indicates William B. and Lou T. gave birth to 7 children and are living with all 7 of their children. The census states every person in the home did farm labor, with the exception of the youngest 7 year old child, although census records of this time usually indicated the wife was a house wife or kept house. It also shows no one in the family had been out of work in the previous year. The census indicates William, Louisa, and their son George could not read or write, however their children John, Jacob, Artie, William R. and Virtie could read and write and George, Jacob, Atrie, William R., and Virtie were attending school. Due to notes the census taker made on the census record, it is difficult to tell if the farm was owned, rented or mortgaged. The last section of the census shows William was survivor of the Confederate Army.
1920 United States Federal Census Record for 3rd District, Tishomingo County, Mississippi indicates William B and his wife Louisa M are living with six of their children George W, J Nash, William R, Virtie M, Early R and their daughter Artie L Cagle with her two young children Oliver P who is 5 and Marquis K (Kermit, who's first name is pronounced Markus). The census indicates Artie was widowed, however it was known by her children, Oliver and Kermit and by her grandchildren and step-grandchildren that Artie's husband William Columbus Cagle did not die at that time. Artie could have been trying to hide from him. It was said that William Columbus Cagle later tried to cause trouble for Artie, he later remarried and he had other children. The census also shows William B was born in Alabama and it is unknown to him where his parents were born. William B, Louisa M, their son Early could not read or write, however the rest of their children could read and write, but no one in the home attended school that year. It also shows the family rented, William was a farmer who was working on his own account and George W, J Nash, William R and Early R were also working on the farm for wages.
1930 Faxon, Comanche County, Oklahoma Census indicates L. T. (Lou) is living with her sons George and Rylie and her two grandsons Oliver and Kermit Cagle. It is believed William B. Glasgow passed away prior to this census since L. T. Glasgow indicates she is widowed.
William B Glasgow's Civil War Pension Index indicates William served in the Alabama Confederate Army, he was invalid on July 8, 1899 in Mississippi, Louisa was widowed on March 24, 1925 and in Oklahoma at he time she applied.
William married Hale, Louisa Tena about 1892. Louisa (daughter of T, Father Lou and T, Mother Lou) was born on 19 Apr 1865 in Mississippi; died on 20 Apr 1940 in Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma; was buried in Letitia Cemetery, Comanche County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
