Day Birth date: 1880 Birth place: Bosque Co., TX Death date: Death place: Spouse: Marriage Date: Marriage Place: SOURCES: Web sources, family members and contacts and a book by Ella Lee Hudson Osborne. NOTES: Jeff Day served in the 9th Infantry w/ Col. William H. Young.
Captured Sep. 19, 1863 at the battle of Chicamauga. He was taken as prisoner
to Camp Douglas, Chicago, IL. It is difficult to determine from his records
whether he escaped, was exchanged or spent his days in prison. Per Ella
Osbourne, "In Remembrance of Our Ancestors": "A postoffice was built in
(Brazos Point) in 1873 and Jefferson (Jeff) A. Day was named the first
postmaster." (Brazos Point was just north of Kopperl. After Louisa Stanford
Day's death, Jefferson had another family with Georgia Stearns. He had
7children with Georgia in Bosque Co., Tx. and one after they moved to Denton
Co., TX. The only evedince that I have seen that "Jeff" and "Janie" had
a daughter named Renben is from Ella Osborne's book, where she states that
"Jeff Allen Day had a daughter Renben that also married Wash Hudson." Would
appreciate information on anyone mentioned in this group sheet.
