T. C. HILBURN Civil War
Pension Application
(Confederate) #2619 AR -
In this application, Tubal stated that he
served in Co C, 1st AR
Inf (McBride's)
commanded by Capt Thomas
H. Freeman. Two men who
swore in affidavits that
they served with him
were Samuel Stroud and
Wyatt Smith.
Have not
been able to find
verification of this
info. The roster of Col.
Freeman's 1st "MO
Cavalry" includes Tubal's brother, Rowan
C. Hilburn in
Co C, but
no Tubal. I've found a
Samuel Stroud and a
"Wirt" Smith in
Fristoe's MO Cavalry,
but not in Freeman's
regiment. "Wirt" Smith
enlisted
in Fulton Co
AR. Both Freeman's and Fristoe's regiments
included many men from
Fulton Co AR. Tubal's
brother, Hiram Hilburn
was a 3rd Sergeant in Co
B, Fristoe's Regiment.
From the biography of
Colonel Thomas M.
Freeman (CSA) and the
history of Freeman's
Regiment, Missouri
Cavalry found online:
When the Civil War broke
out Freeman helped to
organize a regiment of
troops for the Missouri
State Guards. He was
given the rank of
Lieutenant
in the Dent
County Cavalry Company
of General James
McBride's Seventh
Division. He rose in
rank rapidly, soon
promoted to Captain and
a few days later to
Colonel. He and 29 of
his men were captured
during the Elkhorn
Tavern (Pea Ridge)
campaign on 14 Feb 1862.
He was sent to the
Federal Military Prison
at Alton, Illinois where
he was paroled 18 Jun
1862. He returned to his
regiment and reorganized
them as Partisan
Rangers. Later
on 16 Jan
1864 he reorganized
again as Freeman's
Missouri Cavalry
Regiment with himself in
command. Subsequently he
led a brigade under the
command
of General
Joseph Shelby in
Northern Arkansas.
During General Price's
Missouri Raid in the
fall of 1864 the brigade
was attached to General Marmaduke's Division.
The additional units
that made up Freeman's
Brigade
was Lt. Colonel
Barney Ford's Arkansas
Cavalry Battalion and Fristoe's Regiment
Missouri Cavalry. During
the period from his
parole until Price's
Raid, Freeman
established a
headquarters near
Mammoth Springs Arkansas
and the Spring River
Mill. His area of
activity ranged over
Northern Arkansas
and as
far north as Salem and
Houston in Southern
Missouri. The number of
troops in his command
ranged from 200 to 1500
men... Not much is known
of Freeman's activities
as he did not file
reports with his
superiors. What
is
written about his
activities was done by
others, including the
enemy.
His troops fought
well but were usually
short on arms and did
not fare as well as some
well armed brigades... BBR NOTE: Union reports
and letters
found in
"Official Records of the
War of the Rebellion"
consistently call Col.
Freeman and his brigade
"guerillas."

Photo taken by Duane
Warden. His Comments:
" In 2000 I took a few
pictures of the old "Hilburn
House." I'm not sure
that people call it that
any more, but that is
what it was called when
my family lived there
for a few months in
1952-53. My
understanding is that it
was owned by Tubal
Hilburn. If you
continue down the same
road where the Hilburn
house is located for
about a mile you come to
the farm that was owned
by S. H. & Caroline
Hilburn Dunham.
1881 July 7 T.C.
Hillburn is on a List of
letters not picked up at
the Evening Shade Post
Office in Sharp Co BBR
1896 Sept 25 Tubals
first application for a
pension for his
Confederate service was
examined and rejected.
His proof of service was
not sufficient. In it
he stated " I am almost
totally Blind, having
been so for nearly
four
years. One of my eyes bursted out about three
years ago and I have
lost the use of the
other." He said he had
no property and had been
unable
to work for five
or six years, He had
been in resident of Ark
for 34 years and he was
71 years old.
In 1897 He again
presented the same
information and on 20
Aug of that year
he was
granted a pension of
$75. Since Tubal is not
found in the 1900 Census
we assume he died before
he was able to enjoy his
income for long. BBR
