Winnie Davis Camp No. 108 UCV Records from Membership Register   J. M. Kirk Pension Application #1241 John M. Kirk was 81 years old May 12, 1899. He had resided in Waxahachie, Ellis County over 21 years. His occupation was a Mattress Maker.  He was very feeble and was disabled because of age. Served in Capt. D. Fields Co & Col. D. Hollands Regt about 12 months. Signed July 25, 1899 Witness - John W. Fite , 83 yrs. old, who resided in Panola County, Texas, stated that J. M. Kirk was in Capt Renfroes Co. in Hollands Baty. He was in the Confederate Army about 7 months in 186(0) & 1861. J. M. Kirk must be considerably over 60 yrs old. I think he is near my age - from 80 to 84, if he is still living. He never deserted the Confederacy. Witness - Col. E. S. Hull was 81 years old and resided at Carthage, Panola Co., Texas. I personally know he was in the Confederate Army. He enlisted in Capt.
