Individual Details

NOTE:
Was mustered in by Captain Conover, 3rd Regiment Indiana Infantry on 10/31/1846 at New Albany, Indiana. He received an Honorable Discharged at New Orleans on 6/26/1847 due to disease contracted in the line of duty. He applied for a Land Warrant July 1, 1847 under an Act of Congress Feb. 11, 1847, section 9, and received 160 acres, # 4626-47-160.
What information we have on Asa B. Tinder is found in his widow's application for a widow's pension. She states "They were married Feb. 2, 1832 in Marion County, Indiana by John Evans." A copy of their marriage record is found in Asa's military record. Eliza claimed a pension under Acts of Congress in 1846, 1848 and 1853 for 3.50 per month. In Eliza's deposition she stated "Asa died Jan. 26, 1848 in Scipio, Jennings County, Indiana at the home of his father James Tinder." Since Asa was rendered unable to work from the disease she took Asa and their family to be near to members of Asa's family. On Jan. 20, 1852 Asa's father gave a deposition to C.L. Dunham, Vernon, Jennings County, Indiana. He stated "After Asa's discharge he came to Scipio, Indiana with his wife and seven children, where he was cared for until his death." He said "Asa was enfeebled by chronic diarrhea contacted in the line of duty." James Tinder's testimony was subscribed and sworn to before Henry Arnold N.P. who stated "He has known Asa's father James Tinder as a preacher of the Gospel for ten years." Eliza went back to Shelbyville, Indiana to live after Asa's death.
