Plot: Old homestead family Cem. on Willard Sander's farm

"Paroled June 7 1865 Alexandria, Louisiana."

NOTE: 1) Need to be careful, there is also a William Pemberton who served wearing the Blue Uniform. [1]

2) "I believe I have some clues for your Pemberton line - earlier.

Tilford would seem to be related to the Henry or William Henry of Johnson Co. MO. The somewhat close geography suggests connection to the William Pemberton of Saline and Carroll Co. MO. I have a thin line to an Uncle Henry for the Saline Co. William. There are some dots to be connected, but William of Saline Co. was son of John a Rev War soldier born in Albemarle Co. VA. Wm of Saline went through KY before MO. I think Henry followed the path of his brother John and then nephew Wm of Saline.

There was also George Pemberton in Pettis Co. that likely came from those same VA roots.

I'd like to discuss your research." This message is from Cecil St......... Click here for their WikiTree The sender was on this profile page when they sent the message: https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Pemberton-746 Feb 12 2017

Biography

William Pemberton was a Prisoner of War during the United States Civil War.

Son of Tilford Pemberton & Sarah Lee. Grandson of Stephen born in Virginia and early Kentucky and later Howard County, Mo. pioneer (1825). Great grandson of George born in England. George and his two brothers William and John first came to Virginia in the 1760s from England.

Husband of Susan E. Garner.

War Between the States veteran and served, as a private, in Co. "C" Perkin's Battalion of Missouri Infantry during Gen. Sterling Price's last major Missouri raid of 1864. He joined up with the army as it swept south of the family farm heading west towards Westport. He served as a wagon train guard and is believed to have been wounded in the unarmed charge of Perkin's Battalion at the Battle of Mine Creek, Kansas, Oct., 1864. This charge was made to stall for more time to save the wagon trains and get them safely across the river. He was shot in the leg (knee) and escaped the battlefield only to be surrendered months later in 1865 at Shreveport, La. with the rest of the army. He carried the lead in his leg the rest of his life and was lucky to have survived the wound.

A great Aunt (Frances Willard Higdon Morton) of this compiler used to tell stories of sitting on his lap in 1916 when a little girl and rubbing the spot where the ball made a small bump in his leg. He would tell the kids that that was where the yankee's shot him during the war.

He married Susan in Sept., 1869 and ran a place called the "Kentucky Horse Farm" on land given him by Stephen Trigg Garner his new wife`s father. He farmed and raised fine horses, mules, and livestock of all kinds. This property is off County Rd. 259 a few miles west and north of Armstrong, Mo. not far from this cemetery.

William`s older brother Stephen Richard Pemberton was also a veteran....

William was active in post war reunions of soldiers and was present at the 1890 Nevada, Mo. reunion. The Pemberton family was known for having large family reunions of their own. Many where held at Tilford Pemberton farm over the years southwest of Higbee, Mo.. An 1894 photo of one of the reunions at Tilford`s show several generations of the family in front of the house seated posing together including William. A great classic!"
