I originally set this page up as
Issued Place, which means the stamp or manuscript endorsement has the
location where a 730 note was issued, reissued or paid out from.
However, many collect these notes with any type of endorsement or
stamp. Some of those are official receipts, or From, and Other
post WAR endorsements such as UCV, UDC, court cases, advertising,
&c. Any 730 with
location will be imaged on this page. The images are listed in
alphabetical order and PLACE constitutes one of several
ways you can collect
Trains & Hoers.
All the images are
from notes in TRAINMEN collections. These images may be saved for
your personal reference; but, they remain the property of TRAINMEN and
Col Crutch Williams CSA TM01. They may not be used for any
other purpose without first requesting and being
granted permission in writing.
The images have been saved in many sizes and are reduced on the
page. In most cases you can Double click an image to enlarge it.
Any image with an asteric (*) is a Black &
White photo-copy.

Battery Fusilier is believed to be a military position on the Louisiana

an Artilery branch Military Issue.

BEAUMONT TEXAS

Beaumont Texas, Nov 7th 1862. While there is no rank indicated,
this is a military issue since AQM (
Acting
Quarter Master) follows Brown's name.

March 28, 1863

February 22, 1863 issued by Fraley. This piece
is probably military; but, could have been civil.
He endorsed the note as Capt. & ACS which
stands for Acting Commissary of Subsistance CSA.
Commissary was a position and not all who held
the position had military rank. Those needed in the
military were later redesignated Quarter Master or
AQM and the others, with rank removed, simply
became Agents of the Treasury Department. A
Commissary Agent acted in dual role for Military
and Civil government well into 1863.
(*)
This is definately a military issue as Cabel has title
Capt. & AQM CSA.
This
image is B&W copy.
CAMP BROWN
(AT)

Military
Issue: 12Dec62
Image can't be enlarged.
Camp Brown was part of the Georgia Military Institute.
It was originally used for officer training into 1861 when
it was designated a troop training facility. As more troops
arrived and more space was needed, they moved to a new
location 6 miles away and renamed. It is presumed that it
saw continued use as office space for military and perhaps civilian
agents of other government departments.
CAMP LILLY

Camp Lilly is reported to have been in Virginia.

These are civil issues most likely by Depositary Agent using Postal
Stamp for issue date. There are other dates and more will be
added as imaged. The first has "
Issued"
manuscript along with the stamp. Many are found this way.
The second doesn't have the manuscript issued. The first also has
the issue date cancelled. There are several possible reasons for
this and difficult to say without seeing the whole note; but, I've seen
examples that fit the following: 1) The date stamp was
applied and the note wasn't used on that day. A new stamp with
date was added later.
2) The note was issued on this date, taken back in and reissued
with another stamp and the first was cancelled out. 3) When
interest was paid 1 Jan 1863, the date was struck out to remind the
agent this paticular note had been accounted.
CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE
(AT)

This is an
interesting endorsement. We believe it says
From Chattanooga off for
Office.
But it could just as easily be Tenn(essee) Chattanooga
Off(ice). We are trying to determine if the handwriting is
that of JGM
Ramsey or Jesse Thomas. Both were Tennessee Treasury
Agents. However, this note, which is undated, was probably issued
by Ramsay prior to October
1862. I don't have the
information handy as I create this page; but, Ramsey wrote to CG
Memminger and said he was sorry that he missed one of the Treasury
memos. Memminger had sent a notice to all his Agents to place a
date
on the back of the notes they issued or paid out that would be used for
interest calculations. Ramsey issued out a number of notes before
he read the memo. I classify this note as a civil issue; but it
could be quasi-military as Ramsay was in charge of local militia and
Secret Agents (spies).

We don't know who issued this note. You can see that
Tenn is very similar to
From or
Tenn on the above
note. Chattanooga is written similar as well. This note is
dated October 15, 1862 and is considered an Agent issue.
This is a Chattanooga Military issue dated May 1st, 1863
This note was issued by AM Bryan, Major & Quarter Master
COLUMBIA TENNESSEE
(AT)

This
is actually a ReIssued note. The note was issued first at
Jackson, Miss and then "issued" again (reissued) Columbia Te
(Tennessee) May 1st, 1863. Jackson was a central location where
merchants came to be paid and where agents came to receive fund to be
paid out in other far reaching locations. There are two possible
reasons for this double issued note. 1) The agent dated for
issue a great many notes upon his arrival and his clerks paid the notes
out to various parties. This note went to an agent who
eventually had the opportunity to issue it as payment for services or
merchandise. 2) The note actually issued out that day in
Jackson and was taken in by an agent somewhere else and then reissued
in Columbia Tenn. I believe the first option occured as many I
see taken back in actually state "ReIssued". In any case, the
note made it back to Jackson, or to where ever the Jackson Treasury
Agent might have been for
the 1864 Interest payment.
CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS
(TM)
This note was Issued at Corpus Christi Texas, April 27th 1863.
This note is a very interesting piece because a Lieutenant is the
issuing officer. Most military notes were issued by Captains or
Majors. Lieutenant Charles F. Bailey was Acting Assistant Quarter
Master (AAQM) Confederate States(CS) Army. This is a Train.
(
There are Agent issues from Corpus
Christi as well. They're usually found on Hoers.)
FORT
ARCHER (Virginia?) (*)

Fort
Archer Virginia (after capture became Union Fort Wheaton). I'm not at
all sure if this is "Archer". Perhaps the letter is an "S" and it
looks to be 'C.N.' (Confederate Navy?) at end. This is military
and UnKnown if not Fort Archer. Archer was never finished and
according to records I read, construction began in August 1864 and it
was captured September 30th 1864 by Union forces. If you
have
any thoughts on the origin of this endorsement please contact me.
Other thoughts on this note: Issued at Fort - Siler A (Albert
Siler) NC CoS (ComSub).

Genada was a principal staging area for Confederate troops and major
supply position as well. While all of these were probably issued
for a military reason, they are Agent or Civil issue because no rank or
position is indicated.
HEMPSTEAD TEXAS
(TM)

Agent: December 12th 1862
Agent:
February 9th 1863

Hempstead
was a very active location in Texas. It was a convergence point of Rail
& Roads located just to the northwest of Houston that ran to every
location in the state. Besides being a major supply distribution
point, it was also a location where Confederate troops were massed and
trained before being shipped out. Prisoners of War were also
brought to Hempstead and held in a camp nearby. The note at
left, issued December 8th 1862, has initials one Trainman says
are AM&Bro. If this is correct, it most likey was a merchant
issue. However, I think the last part might be QM. If
anyone has information on this piece, please let me know.

Example
of Houston Texas Postal Issue Hand Stamp. This piece, illustrated
at left, is a
BOGUS COPY and
is affectionately known as a
Grover
Special. Grover
Criswell is said to have made up this stamp for a collector who wanted
one desparately. It is the only Postal Stamp on 730 1862 Interest
Hundred that is unknown in numismatic circles. The 2nd Edition
1986 Dietz Confederate States Catalog and Handbook lists the eight (8)
postmarks used on Southern currency on page 258. Five examples
known to have been used on these notes are pictured. Those five
are Charleston, S.C.; Houston, Tex:; Jackson, Miss; San Antonio, Tex;
and, Shelbyville, Te. The other three are Lenoir, N.C.; Richmond,
Va; and, Savannah, Ga. You will find images on this page of all
the other postmarks except Richmond, Va. It is generally believed
that this stamp on the 1862 Interest $100 exists in philatellic circles
as those collectors searched out Confederate Postal Stamped notes over
50 years ago. If you have one, or know someone that owns one,
please ask them to provide an image that I can display. I also
need an example of Richmond, Va. to add to this listing.

presume it was used
somwhere in Tennessee and probably in or around Shelbyville.

similar to a dated
