Notes for Elizabeth Calliham
Asa's wife, Mrs. Bettie Heathcock, filed a Widow's Application for Pension after Asa's death on 3 September 1908. Her application essentially verifies his service record. In the application, reference is made to File No. 7388, presumably Asa's pension application file. At the time of the Widow's application, Mrs. Heathcock lived at 202 Sharer Street, San Antonio.
Notes for Asa (Spouse 1)
Alfred's second son Asa first appears in the Texas records on November 14, 1860 when he married Elizabeth Callihan in Bee County. The Calliham family had previously lived in St Landry Parish, LA.121

He enlisted in the Confederate Army 13 February 1862 at Yorktown and served under Captain Cupples in the 24th Regimental Texas Cavalry until his capture at Fort Hindman in Arkansas on 11 January 1863. He was paroled 31 January 1863. After the end of the war, Asa and his family appear to have lived in Atascosa County until they moved to Wilson County in the early 1870s.
