Generation: 1

  1. 1.  John "R" Ridenour was born 1745, Maryland; died Abt 1827, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    John Ridenour served in the Revolution. As a young man he left his Hagerstown, Maryland home and plunged into the wilderness. John Ridenour and his family moved to Berkeley County, Virginia in 1794 then to Tennessee before 1800.

    He is found with his family in 1797 in Montgomery County, Virginia where, on 29 June, Caty (Noe) and John "Ridennour" gave consent for their son, Joseph "Ridenhour" to marry Mary Sharp. Mary's father, John Sharp, consented to the marriage and Peter Harmon, Martin Ritennour, William Sharp and George Sharp were witnesses and provided security.

    Two months later, on 11 August 1797, John "Ritenour" consented to the marriage of his son, John "Ritennour," to Mary "Harloss." These names are spelled as they appear in the original records. Henry Harless and Mary Havin, parents of Mary, gave their consent to the marriage, while Peter Harmon and Thomas Smith were witnesses and provided security. Both John and Joseph Ridenauer were under age at the time of their marriages and thus parental consent was required.

    John Ridenour Senior with his two sons, John Jr. and Martin, were pioneers at Grantsborough and followed the river traffic for more than forty years. Leading a life of a hunter and trapper he floated his furs to New Orleans. He roved through the middle west with the Indians, learning two or three Indian dialects. He knew many of the famous hunters of pioneer times.

    There is a John Ridenour listed in the 1830 Anderson County, Tennessee census with 3 males 40-50, 1 male 30-40, 2 males 20-30, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 0-5, 1 female 70-80, 1 female 50-60, 1 female 15-20, and 1 female 0-5 years old.

    In the Name of God Amen, I John Ridenour Senior of Campbell County and State of Tennessee, being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, do make and ordain this my last will and testament that is to say, principally, first of all, I give and bequeath my body to earth to be buried in a Christian like manner and my soul to God, secondly I give and bequeath to my son John Ridenour a piece of land lying on Indian Creek below John Sharp's mill containing 20 acres.

    Notes:

    Henry is believed to have married four times. Not all of his marriage dates are known and most of his children's birth dates are known.

    Henry grew up on the Yadkin River at the Boone Settlement, North Carolina. From early youth he was an explorer with Indian traders west of the mountains, learning several Indian languages. He enlisted in the 11th Virginia Continental Line at Hampshire County, Virginia in the Revolutionary War. He was a flatboat man and helped transport goods down the Ohio from present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to French settlements in present-day Illinois and Indiana. In 1788, he was captured by the Northern Indians near Maysville, Kentucky, and taken to Detroit, Michigan. Arthur Campbell secured his release from the Indians. Upon his return, he took a fine horse from Col. Campbell to Squire Boone's Station near Louisville, Kentucky. Later, he was a visitor along the Powell and Clinch Rivers. He visited many times at George Yoakum's Station in Powell Valley, and at Sharp's Station south of the Clinch River in Big Valley.

    Near the close of the century, he went to England and Holland. On his return from Europe, he came to Knoxville, Tennessee. Shortly after 1800 he built a log structure near the juncture of Powell and Clinch Rivers to be used as a church and a school for his large family. The church, known as Mt. Moriah Methodist Church, was re-built at the same site three times before it was taken by the TVA in 1935.

    A family story said that William was given the family bible, in which all the family was listed, to safeguard. Another story indicated that Barbara was the last known one to have it.

    Henry was living in Campbell County, Tennessee in 1815, listed in John Grants Clinch River Ferry account book.

    In 1850, Henry was living with his son Daniel Webster and his wife Mary Ann in 16 Subdivision, Anderson County, Tennessee.

    Henry was buried in Mt. Moriah Cemetery, Anderson County Tennessee, now under Lake Norris, Tennessee. He was re-interred in 1935 in Bakers Forge Memorial Cemetery, La Follette, Campbell County, Tennessee where a new tombstone is placed:

    About the 5th day of July, 1863, by order of the officer commanding the regiment, said Ridenour took command of Company F, and continued in command until October 5, 1864, when he was assigned to staff duty. Said Ridenour was discharged as an enlisted man .is of the date of June 29, 1863, and he was accepted and mustered in as second lieutenant, to take effect July 1, 1863. Immediately after the surrender of Vicksburg said Ridenour, in charge of said company, in July, 1863, marched from said city to Jackson, Miss. During said march said claimant was attacked with varicocele, and was at times rendered thereby unable to march, and was compelled to resort to the ambulance. When he eutered the service he was a strong, healthy man. Previously to said month of July, 1863, or in the latter part of Juue of that year, the petitioner was somewhat unwell, although the precise nature of his ailment is unknown, and he was not then aware that it was the varicocele for which he was afterwards pensioned. It is not certain that said disease had ite inceptiou before July, 1863. But if that was the fact, it is apparent and uncontradicted that the principal development, growth, and establishment of the disease occurred after the commencement of the march from Vicksburg to Jackson. It is shown by medical evidence that the disability of said Ridenour is perinaneut and incurable, and that such disability incapacitates said Ridenour from performing manual labor.

    This committee is of the opinion that, uudertueexistingcircumstancesof the case as hereinbefore stated, said Ridenour should be regarded as a second lieutenant at the time of the occurrence of the disability for which pension has been granted, and bis rating should be increased accordingly.

    This committee therefore recommend the passage of a substitute bill, which is herewith submitted.

    Your committee would recommend the substitution of the accompanying bill in lieu of the bill H. E. 2000, Forty-eighth Congress, and that the claimant be granted a pension as provided in said substituted bill.

    All of which is herewith submitted.

    March «, 1889.

    CHAP. 481.—An act for the relief of Newton C. Redenour.

    Whereas, by an error committed by the adjudicating officers of the Pension Bureau Newton C. Ridenour, late second lieutenant Company F, Twenty-third Regiment Iowa Infantry, was not placed on the pension-roll as a second lieutenant upon the allowance of a pension to him; and

    Whereas by act of Congress a bill was passed for his relief in this regard, and to rate him in accordance with said rank and with the intention only of correcting ihiserror, but which contained the words Vol a, p. on. that it should " be in lieu of all other pensions and

    Whereas he now claims to be entitled to an increase of pension on account of disabilities, for which he was originally pensioned, and to pension for additional disabilities, but the Pension Bureau and the Department of the Interior construe the language quoted of the act of Congress mentioned as barring his rights thereto, regardless of the merits: Therefore,

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That said act of RjJ^Sec^dnourCongress for the relief of said Newton C. Ridenour shall be construed as only correcting the error of the adjudicating officers of the Pension Bureau as to the rank of said Ridenour and nis proper rating by reason thereof, and that his right to increase of pension and to additional pension for other disabilities shall net be ..ffected thereby.

    Approved, March 2, 18&9.


    Papers in his pension file refer to his middle name as Cannon. Maybe he picked this up in the Civil War.

    Listed in 1850 Campbell County, Tennessee census with uncle and aunt Peter and Philpena Loy and grandmother Philpena Sharp Loy. Listed in Preble County, Ohio 1860 census living in the home of Mary Piatt.

    Enlisted when 19 years old in Civil War at Eaton, Preble County, Ohio, 17 April 1861 in Company C 20th Ohio Infantry under Kelly's Command in the Army of Occupation West Virginia, mustered out 18 August 1861. After expiration of time, reenlisted 28 August 1861 in Company E 22nd Ohio and was mustered out 18 November 1864 at Benton Barracks, Missouri a corporal. He then enlisted 13 February 1865 as Private in Company I 187th regiment, was promoted to sergeant, demoted back to Private 8 September 1865 and mustered out of service 20 January 1866 at Macon, Georgia making four years and seven months service for his Country and holding three honorable discharges.

    He was in many prominent battles among which was Corinth where a Texas Brigade charged them seven lines deep. Was with Grant in the fierce conflict at Shiloh, where the brave 22nd served the enemy eighty rounds in succession.

    Twenty thousand were killed and wounded (both sides) in the terrific struggle, most of the three days siege was fought in the woods and at close range.

    Daniel was with the taking of Forts Henry and Donelson and the thrilling siege of Vicksburg until the "planting of the Colors" upon the enemy's works. In the National Cemetery in Vicksburg among the regimental marble slabs is one denoting the position of the brave 22nd Ohio in that great battle.

    Daniel was with Sherman in his March from Atlanta to the Sea. In all the experience of those exciting years he was only slightly wounded in the heel, was in a hospital a short time with malaria.

    At the time of his death he was a member of W. H. L Wallace Post No. 66 G. A. R. in Eldorado, Kansas. The Chapter was draped thirty days in his memory.

    Death: Pneumonia and heart failure.

    Anna O. Sawyer Ridenour Notes, 1902, p 7.

    I enlisted in Eaton, Ohio, April 17th, 1861, for three months served four months, and was discharged; re-enlisted and served four years and seven months all told. That compares well with most of the old boys.

    I commenced trying to be soldier at Hamilton, Ohio, - went on guard, tackled our rations regularly, cooked, slept on the soft side of boards and thought it was great fun playing soldier. It was fun compared with the real service that awaited us when we were on the march, camping, cooking, carrying our guns, knapsacks, canteens, etc. in all 50 pounds weight. It wasn't all sweet in the south then, no indeedy. Tired and footsore, we would go into camp at night, make a supper of coffee and hard tack and when ready to fall over asleep from weariness, hear the rasping voice of the 1st Sergant: "Ridenor, you'll have to go on picket tonight" What would a good fellow do? Growl a little and say: "Why don't you detail So and so?" "Now you come along. No fooling. This is what you are here for." Away we'd go; watch all night or something to shoot and note that a little stump a foot or so tall in the evening would stretch itself up to ten feet in height and walking straight at and intending to shoot you on the picket post. Rain, sleet, snow, mud, dust, good or bad weather, it was the never-ending routine, and to obey orders and ask no questions. That's what it took to make a good soldier.

    Tough as was our soldiering, we had many jolly hours. We were young and full of blood, our pulses bounding, our hearts light and we saw the bright side of about everything. I must say however that the disagreeables overbalanced the agreeables.

    I tell you when we were on line of battle waiting orders to advance, "guide right; march; steady;" we lived a lifetime in a few minutes. It was waiting, inaction that tired our nerves. Our minds had time to dwell on things dangerous to our bodies. When the word came we were glad of it though no one could say whether he would come out alive.

    At Shiloh our captain came along our front serving 40 rounds extra, 80 rounds in all. We knew that meant hot work. One of our men stepped out and said to the captain, "I am afraid to go into the fight." The captain's words will not bear publication and I felt it took more nerve to make an acknowledgment of cowardice than to go into the fight. I can see that "boy," after 34 years, standing before the captain who declining the service of a coward sent him to his tent where he was taken sick. Later he was sent home and in a few weeks died, really "scared to death." Twenty thousand were killed, wounded, and missing (both sides) in that great struggle. I feel pride in it. General Sherman speaks of our regiment four times in his report of the fight and the details he gives are inspiring to all who soldiered for love of country. I recall with pleasure my part in the taking of forts Henry and Donelson; Shiloh, siege of Corinth and other brushes with our recreant southern brothers.

    Daniel W. Ridenour testimonial.

    Bruce E. Ridenour writes A. L. L. Hamilton from Joliet, Illinois, under date of
    January 4th, as follows:

    I take this means of informing you that Dan W. Ridenour, my father, was taken sick Sunday morning, December 29th, with a heavy chill. Monday and Tuesday he was some better and the doctor pronounced it grippe, but Wednesday night he was suddenly taken worse and his case speedily developed into pneumonia. He suffered untold agonies until he became unconscious this morning at 11 o'clock. He died this afternoon at ten minutes past three, January 4th. Our doctor could have saved him had it not been for an attack of heart failure.
    Yours in sorrow,
    Bruce E. Ridenour.
    518 Oneida Street, Joliet, Illinois

    Mr. Ridenour was a resident of El Dorado for thirteen years. He was born in Ohio and was a harness maker by trade. In 1886 he moved from Clarinda, Iowa to Caldwell this state. Two years later he purchased the harness business of James Dodwell at El Dorado and moved his family here. About a year ago his son, Bruce, secured a position as book keeper for an electric light company of Joliet. A short time after that Mr. Ridenour moved his family to Joliet and he went to work at his trade. Mr. Ridenour was a soldier and enjoyed living over those strenuous times with the old boys, as much as any of them. He served in Ohio regiments for four years and seven months service. When the first call was made he went for three months service. When his time expired he re-enlisted for three years and after that he veterened for the war.

    Mr. Ridenour was a good man, a kind and loving husband and father. Besides his wife he leaves a son and two daughters, all grown, Bruce E., and Misses Myrth and Blanche.

    Mr. Ridenour, speaking of his service during the war, said, not long before he left El Dorado:

    At Corinth a Texas brigade charged us seven lines deep. The gunners mowed swaths through their ranks with grape and canister and yet they closed up their ranks and came on, stopping for nothing until they came to our breast works. Their Colonel was killed in the charge and left on the field. No words can express the awfulness I felt in going over that field where the dead were literally piled up and the cries of the wounded will never be forgotten while life lasts.

    Some think we old boys are not dying fast enough. We are satisfied to stay a little longer and as a comrade falls out, slain by the common enemy, Death, we just close up ranks as we did in the battles for the Union; where if a soldier was shot we would close up the gap and move forward, not stopping to think of the fallen one.

    It is only a question of time when the last of us must fall out, with no rank to close. We need not fear, we fought the good fight, won the greatest victories of modern times and when we bivouac

    "On Fames's eternal camping ground,"

    it will be with the consciousness that we have left the noblest heritage to our children, a united country.

    I did my duty as a soldier to the best of my ability. I am proud of my record. I would not change it if I could. I feel that I was fortunate to escape the dangers that threatened me and all soldiers during the Civil war.

    D. W. Ridenour

    D. W. Ridenour -- comrade, good citizen and honest man died at his home Joliet, Illinois last Saturday. Another soldier of the trying times of 1863 to '65 gone. When I heard the news this morning how the memories of old association came thronging through the mind. The hours of pleasure spent in his shop when he was a resident of our city, where we could talk over our old times with kindred spirits -- how vividly this last drama awakens us to the fact that we have lost a friend.

    If we miss him from memory how much more does the family circle with the familiar face of father and husband gone from every place in the home?

    OHIO
    TWENTIETH INFANTRY
    (Three Months)

    Twentieth Infantry. - (Three Months' Service.) Col., Thomas Morton; Lieut.-Col., John W. Cruikshank; Maj., Charles N. Lamison. The companies composing this organization were enrolled as follows: A and F, April 20, at Lima; B, April 19, at Oxford; C and D, April 22, at Eaton; E, April 17, at St. Mary's; G, April 25, at Chesterville; H, April 27, at Sidney; I, April 22, at Steubenville, and K, April 25, at Columbus. Cos. A, B, C, D, I and K were ordered to Camp Jackson, Columbus, and E F, G and H to Camp Goddard, Zanesville. The quota being full under the president's first call for 75,000 troops, the muster and regimental organization was delayed for several weeks, until the companies were mustered into state service. After being mustered in the six companies at Camp Jackson joined the remainder of the regiment at Zanesville and there the regimental organization was formed and the equipment and drilling for the field actively engaged in until early in June, when it was ordered to move to Virginia. Arriving at Bellaire, it crossed the Ohio river to Benwood, and was distributed along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad as far as Grafton, with headquarters at Fairmount. The regiment performed a large amount of marching and guard duty, and rendered valuable service to the government in assisting to stay the progress of the Confederates, who were endeavoring to carry the war into the North. Its entire service was in this direction, with the exception of one expedition made to counteract the retreat of the Confederates from Carrick's ford. It would have been successful in this expedition if the news had not been carried to the enemy of its approach. The regiment then being on top of Knobby mountain, the Confederates at once broke camp and moved towards Petersburg. Its term of enlistment about to expire, the regiment moved back on the railroad for a few days and was then ordered home to be mustered out, which was done on Aug. 18, 1861. The casualties during its brief period of service were 2 killed in a railroad accident, 1 died from accidental gunshot wound, and 7 died of disease.


    OHIO
    TWENTY-SECOND INFANTRY
    (Three Years)

    Twenty-second Infantry. - (Three Years' Service.) Cols., Crafts J. Wright, Oliver Wood; Lieut.-Cols., Joseph Felix St. James, Benjamin T. Wright, Homer Thrall; Majs., Charles W. Anderson, George R. French. This regiment, although originally known as the 13th Mo., organized at St. Louis, from Aug. 9 to Nov. 5, 1861, to serve for three years, was commanded by Ohio officers and its ranks filled mainly by soldiers from this state. Its designation was changed to the 22nd Ohio infantry by order of the secretary of war, May 29, 1862. Its first baptism of fire was at Fort Donelson, Tenn., and in that engagement the regiment behaved very creditably. At Shiloh the numerical force of the regiment was 450 officers and men and during the two days of that well-contested battle it was warmly engaged, losing in killed and wounded 89 officers and men. In the slow and tedious advance on Corinth, succeeding the battle of Shiloh, the regiment was continually in the front. On the evacuation of Corinth by the enemy it marched with the army to Booneville, Miss., in pursuit and then returned to Corinth. It joined in the pursuit of the Confederates after their attempt to recapture the place had been repulsed in October, but, like the whole army engaged in that fruitless race, gained no laurels. While on garrison duty at Trenton, Tenn., in Dec., 1862, a detachment of the 22nd captured the notorious guerrilla chief, Col. Dawson, who afterward died in the Alton (Ill.)
    penitentiary. The regiment participated in the occupation of Little Rock, Ark., in Sept., 1863, and during the year following remained on guard duty in that state. In Oct., 1864, it received orders to report at Camp Dennison, Ohio, to complete its record and be mustered out of service, which was done on Nov. 18.
