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 (Trans-Mississippi)
Battery Fusilier is believed to be a military position on the Louisiana side of the Mississippi River. Dated Feb 27th 1863, this one is an Artilery branch Military Issue. This image cannot be enlarged.
BEAUMONT TEXAS (Trans-Mississippi)
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.
BONHAM TEXAS (Trans-Mississippi)
Supply location in North Texas near Indian Territory (Oklahoma) border
March 11, 1863 << Both endorsements are considered Agent >> 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 (TM) TEXAS
Military Issue: 23Mar63 Camp Lilly
was a Texas "camp" probably between San Antonio and Houston or between Port
Lavaca and Houston. Another note recently surfaced with the same IP
stamps found on an AQM Houston issued note and with San Antonio notes from
the same run. For years it was thought that "Camp Lilly" was a location
in Virginia but we now have the proof it was Texas. Most likely this
note was issued by Edwin Lilly who became AQM of 33rd Texas
Cavalry that formed in Houston early April 1863. The San Antonio notes
were earlier, both Camp Lilly are March 23rd and a Issued Houston AQM is
dated April 14th.
CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA (AV)
September 5, 1862 September 8, 1862
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.
Another Charleston issued:
B.C. Pressley, Assistant Treasurer - Charleston, S.C.
This first stamp only has the month and day and most seen are like this. The year was of course 1862. The second stamp has 1862 added manuscript. Perhaps whoever was helping Pressley on this date decided he needed to add the year. In any case it is an unusual combination. Most stamps are blurred as this one is and hard to read. The stamp at left is sharp and very easy to read and that is quite unusual for one of these issues.
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,

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.

This note was issued October 1st, 1862 by Capt Adam G. Summers, Capt & ACS, CSA. His primary responsibility was herding cattle across the state as well as stock piling and keeping safe other sundry supplies. His commanding officer in this area was Brig.
