More About JONATHAN LASLEY ENSOR:
Cause of Death: Fell from horse

Notes for RUTH JARED:
Jonathan was from Bristol, TN. He came down South after leaving home as a young man. Sixteen miles down Walton Road, (now highway 70) at Low Gap, Ruth Jared lived in the home of her parents. There was no school near, and little social life where young folks participated. She wondered what her fate would be. One night she dreamed she saw a young man riding a bay horse. He had beautiful, penetrating blue eyea and was wearing a brown jean suit.

When Jonathan arrived in Middle Tennessee, he stopped for the night at the home of Jospeh Jared. A few days after her dream , when Jonathan knocked at the Jared door, Ruth recognized him immediately as the man in her dreams. It was love at first sight for both of them, and they were soon married.

Ruth's brothers had a sawmill in Sangamon County, Illinois. Five years after Jonathan and Ruth were married Johathan took his family there. On Dec. 23, 1826 Jonathan was killed from a fall from his horse. Ruth started back to Tennessee with her little children in a horse drawn wagon. One of the horses died, and she exchanged the other and the wagon for 2 oxen and a cart, and made her way back to the home of her father.

The W.A. Ensor, TN, 84th Infantry, Company G, Captain was William Asbury
Ensor from Putnam County, TN. William Asbury Ensor organized a group of
volunteers and was "elected" Captain. It may be interesting to know that William Asbury Ensor was not a slave owner.
The 84th was at the Battle of Shiloh
General Donelson, in his report of the battle, stated: "The 84th, being a new and very small regiment, was assigned to my command December 29, 1862, only two days before the battle. I deemed it best to leave it in the rear in support of Carnes' Battery. Colonel Stanton's Regiment was not seriously engaged, though I do not doubt, if an opportunity had presented itself, that both he and his men would have fought most gallantly."
