THOMAS D. SELF5 (JOHN4, MARY3, JOHN2, EDWARD1) b. 26 May 1836, Walker Co., GA Occupation: Preacher - Farmer m. 21 Sept 1856 in Walker Co., GA. NANCY CHOYCE CLARKSON b. 13 Aug 1836, Walker Co., GA (daughter of Joseph Clarkson and Nancy Gober) d. 30 Oct 1930, Scott Co., AR Buried Mt. Pleasant Cem., Scott Co., AR Thomas d. Self died 7 Apr 1908, Waldron, AR Buried Mt. Pleasant Cem., Scott Co., AR Thomas fought in the Confederate Army during the Civil War as a private in Company E Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Army of Tennessee. He entered the Army on March 4, 1862 and was captured on July 4, 1863 at Vicksburg, Mississippi along with several thousand other Confederate soldiers. He signed an oath that he would not take up arms against the Union forces again and was paroled on July 8, 1863. He was captured again in September 12, 1863, in Walker County, GA and this time he was sent to prison at Camp Morton, IN for the duration of the war. He was released on June 12, 1865. He went back t the Lookout Mountain area in Georgia where the most bloody and destructive fighting took place. The destruction of their land and the blockade of food and supplies from the north probably influenced their decision to move to Arkansas. Thomas, his family and a group of other people, most relatives, (70 in all) moved by wagon train from Ringgold, Georgia, in 1870 to Scott County, Arkansas. Thomas was a Church of Christ preacher. He was active in organizing the first churches in Waldron.. He farmed and was a circuit riding minister. He and his wife, Nancy, would leave home by noon on Friday and travel by horse and buggy to churches in the Waldron and Dutch Creek area to preach and return home on Monday. He would not accept money for preaching. He performed many weddings in Scott County. There is a question about that the "D" stands for in Thomas's name. Margie Motel states that, without a doubt, the "D" stands for Dennis. With Margie's knowledge of genealogy and her search on the Self family, it is hard to dispute. Sarah Self Gibson, a granddaughter, wrote in her bible that his name was Thomas Dean. The Morman church has his name listed both Dennis and Dean. Thomas signed his names as Thomas D. on his parole papers and as a church of Christ elder. If any one has his full name on any official papers I would like to have a copy.........Forrest Self, great-grandson.
