        originally from Charles City County, VA.; d  27 Nov 1900  in Monroe County,

        He enlisted in the Civil war 15 Sept 1861 in the 9th Ky Inf. Co. I, a Union outfit    

        assigned to General Thomas in the army of Ohio. Abel's tour of duty was from  

        15 Sept 1861 untill he was medically discharged on 16 Jul  1862, having been     

         wounded at the Battle of Shiloh on 6 April 1862; with gunshot wounds to the head,

         arm and abdomen. He drew a pension in Monroe County, KY. of $24.00 a month.

         The following article was received from Mrs. Edith Tracy, great granddaughte-

          of Abel G. Coley:

          On July 18th 1862, a hundred years ago this week, Private Abel G. Coley

          was honorably discharged from the army of the United States due to 

          disabilities. He was born Feb 7, 1833, son of J. C.& Mary Ann Coley, and 

          when the War came between the North and the South he was twenty eight 

          years of age. His sentiments were strongly with Abe Lincoln and the Union, 

          and on the 25th day of Oct 1861, he volunteered in the Regiment of 9th 

          Kentucky, but he was only privileged to serve eight months and twenty 

          three days, as in the battle of Shiloh, which was one of the bloodiest battles 

          of the war, raging for two days, April 6 and 7th, 1862, Pvt Coley was 

          wounded four times, one a very severe wound when he was shot in the 

          head, on the second day of the battle. Three months later he had recovered 

          sufficiently to return to his home in Monroe Co., and though he was an invalid 

          for sometime, he became able to live a normal useful life.

          He was married to Elizabeth Temple and they were the parents of six children, 

          two sons, John Jim, and Willie Coley, and four daughters, Mary Frances Coley 

          Huskisson, Minnie Coley Robinson, Sarah Coley Lawrence, and Elizabeth Ann 

          Coley Woodrum. For many years Abel Coley owned and operated a general 

          store in the New Design community near Fountain Run. He was also a Baptist 

          preacher of quite some note, and the name of Bro."Abe" Coley, was widely 

          known in this section. He died November 28th, 1900 at the age of 67 years. 

          Much of this information was gleaned from the certificate of his G.A.R. and 

          his War Record which proudly hangs in the home of Abel Coley's grandson, 

          Patrick Huskisson, at Fountain Run., KY. It has been well preserved through 

          the long years and is displayed in a beautiful antique frame. Previous to it 

          coming into the possession of Mr. Huskisson, it hung in the home of his parents, 

          Billy and Mary Frances Coley Huskisson. At its very top it is centered with a 

          picture of the Capitol of the United States, with the Eagle and the Stars and 

          Stripes below. On either side are pictured presidents up to that time.Directly 

          below the War Record are the pictures of the officers of the Union Army with 

          the various military insignia. On the left from the top are pictured phrases 

          of the War that include "The Attack on Fort Sumpter" April 12, 1861 "Battle 

          of Shiloh" 

               The Fleet passing Forts Jackson and St. Philip April 24th 1862." On the right from

          the top are pictured "The Battle of Gettysburg" July 1 to 3, 1863" The Anderson-

          (Information not gleaned from this picture was supplied by Mr. & Mrs. Patrick 

           Huskisson and Mrs. Fannie Gillenwaters, (a granddaughter).
