Help finding death record

Question

Hello,

I have been for a while attempting to find a death record of Mary Margaret Harr born 1819, died 1858. She was married to Thomas J. McClain. They married in 1838. I have also been trying to find his death record. Thomas was born in 1813 and died in 1863 during the civil war. He was a paid substitute and was on Company K, 19th regiment of TN infantry serving on the confederate side. If anyone can point me towards either Mary or Thomas, or both much would be appreciated.

Thanks

-Christy

Please always post the profiles with your questions.

Both basically only have Ancestry trees for sources.  :(  Thanks for trying to fix that!

Here's their FindaGrave, for what it's worth:

Thank you for the reply!

What I'm looking more for is a medical record/death record from the civil war. A lot of those do list helpful information into the person's life.

Thanks

OK I thought you were more interested in her.  I don't think civil death records exist for Tennessee for 1858, anyway.

---

Okay, Thank you.

An Ancestry user posted an image of a military record for Thomas McLane, Pvt, Co K, 19th Tennessee Infantry. 'Substitute for W A Dooley.  Died March 7 at Shelbyville of sickness 1863."  It doesn't say where she got it, but I'll look for the alternate spelling.

ETA:  It's available at Fold3.com.

Thank you so much! Does it say when Dooley was born?

---

It only has Dooley's name.

Can you link the source?

For the image, it links to Fold3.

Here's their citation text:
