Life

John Samuel Monk was born in Georgia in 1822, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the year and records no parents.1 On 25 April 1844 John S. Monk married Louisa S. Carlisle, the eldest daughter of Robert Whatley Carlisle and Clarissa Ann Mitchell Owens, in Alabama; some indexes give his middle initial as L, and one gives the date as 23 April, probably the date of the licence.2 An abstract of the Tallapoosa County marriage book dates the bond 23 April 1844, with her father, R. W. Carlisle, as bondsman.3 The tree names six children, born between 1846 and 1863: Joseph Rufus, Robert M., John Carlisle, Silas Willis, Susan Virginia and Blair A. E. Monk.4 The federal census of 1850 lists John S. Monk in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, and the census of 1860 in the 2nd Subdivision of Coosa County, where his wife's parents also lived.5 The tree records that he served in Company D of the 17th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army, from 15 June 1862, and that he "was killed at the Battle of Franklin Tennessee" on 30 November 1864; the event has no source attached, but entries for him in Ancestry's collection of Alabama Civil War soldiers are attached to his profile.6 His brother-in-law Brinson Ross White served in the same company, according to the tree.7 The Find a Grave index enters him as "Pvt John Samuel Monk," and the tree places his burial in the McGavock Confederate Cemetery at Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee.8 The death records of three of his sons name their father: as John Samuel Monk in that of Silas Willis Monk, who died in Texas in 1944, as John Monk in that of Johnie C. Monk in 1933, and as "J. R. Monk" in that of Joe R. Monk in 1924, where the initials, which repeat the son's own, are probably an error.9
