Co. E, 10 th Alabama Cavalry. Son of Joel C. Crawford and Elizabeth Stewart Holcombe. Husband of Rebecca Ann Arthur. Father of Julia Ellen Holcombe. The following notes on Andrew Glen Holcombe compiled by: Alvin H. Roberts, Great Grandson, in 2003. Information is from "The Holcombes" published by "Halbert's" and dated 1947. His code in "The Holcombes" is D354165. Additional information was handed down and obtained from military park records. Andrew enlisted in the militia and re-enlisted in the CSA Calvary. He fought in several campaigns in and around Chattanooga, Tennessee. Military records in Chattanooga indicated that his detachment was captured while attempting to capture a Union supply train. The CSA commenced using cavalry units to forage. This provided the South with desperately needed food and supplies and at the same time deprived the North. Official records indicate that he was captured at Nicka Jak Gap, Georgia. Other records indicate that he was captured northwest of Chatanooga, TN. Nicka Jak Gap was probably the base location of the Union Force that captured his detachment. He was transported to the prison at Camp Morton, Indianapolis, Indiana where he remained until March 4, 1865. Before Nicka Jak Gap, he was held briefly at Nashville, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky. While at Camp Morton his brother Thomas was also held there. There was no known discussion as to whether they knew it at the time. He was transferred for exchange from Camp Morton on March 4, 1865. He was transported to the East where he was released. Following the war (1866) he married Rebecca Ann Arthur. In 1871, he moved with his family from Munford (Talladega County Alabama) to near Bluff Springs (Howard County) Arkansas where he constructed three houses. One for his family, one for his oldest sister (and her children) Sarah Jane, whose husband was killed in the war. The third was probably for his wife's sister and children whose husband was also killed in the war. Lucinda Ball Arthur (Wife'ssister) and the folks for whom he built houses came with him from Alabama. Lucinda had been a widow since 1853 and probably lived with Andrew and Rebecca. He reared his family in the Bluff Springs Community and was an early and active member of Bluff Springs Church. He apparently could not read or write. While in the army he made his mark rather than writing his name. He is buried in Bluff Springs Cemetery beside his wife (Rebecca) and his brother Benjamin K and near Joel Crawford (his father) and his wife's mother, Lucinda Ball.
