My kin, Robert Arthur Nolan and James Tyre Nolan (Noland, Nolin, Nowlin, Nolen and several other spellings) were unknown to me in 2002. Oh, I was looking for them, but they were like spirits. One night I was looking for my grandfathers death information in Florida, and noticed the entry for Civil War Pensions.  So I   entered the name Robert Nolan, who had disappeared in Tennessee in 1880. Low and behold up comes an entry. So I look at it, and it is my GGF. The rest becomes family history. My!  have I enjoyed chasing these two guys, and still do. This link will take you to Robert and James and this is all the info I have. The history of Company I, 6th Texas Cavalry is worth a book itself. I have been hoping someone would take on that chore. Just  puting this website together has me bogged down, or is that bloged down.

More soon.
