EDWARD A. FINCHER, who is identified with the agricultural interests of Montague county, Texas, and whose address is R.D.4. Nocona, was born on a farm in Nevada county, Arkansas, Oct 12, 1859, son of Daniel F. and Margaret C (Wilbanks) Fincher, natives of Georgia. William Fincher, the grandfather of Edward A., was a Methodist minister and farmer in Georgia, whence he moved to Alabama and later to Arkansas, where he continued farming and preaching for some years. Late in life he retired from active labor and made his home with his children. His life was productive of good works, he enjoyed the respect and confidence of a large circle of acquaintences, and he lived to the ripe old age of eighty years. His children were Powell, William, James, Daniel F., John, Bailey, Lydia, Elizabeth, Lucinda and Martha. Daniel F. Fincher moved with his father from Georgia to Alabama, where he was married, and in 1857 again turned his face westward, Arkansas the objective point. There he bought land and was engaged in the work of improving and cultivating it when the great Civil war came on. Unlike his worthy father, who sympathized with the Confederacy, he was a Union man at heart and opposed to secession; but after the war opened he was conscripted and forced into the Confederate ranks, where he remained until the war closed. He was in many hotly contested battles, never, however, being captured or wounded, and throughout the whole of his army life he never fired a bullet at the enemy.

Confederate FINCHERS
- In April 1865, during the final days of the Civil War, as
the Confederate Government evacuated Richmond, its archives were
shipped south, burned, or abandoned. Some of the military records
passed into the hands of Union Army officers and were sent to the
War Department in Washington. There the Adjutant General in July
1865 established a bureau in his office for the "collection,
safekeeping, and publication of Rebel Archives." In 1903 the
Secretary of War persuaded the Governors of most Southern States
to lend the War Department the Confederate military personnel
records in their possession for copying.
- These captured and copied Confederate records, as well as Union prison and parole records, were abstracted by the War Department between 1903 and 1927 to compile military service records of Confederate officers, noncommissioned officers, and enlisted men. NARA, however, does not have any Confederate pension files, which are state, not federal, records.
