The Tennessee Union Provost Marshal records are available online at http://www.tnsos.net/TSLA/provost/index.php through the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The database consists of records from Microcopy 416, a collection of 94 rolls of microfilm created by the National Archives and Records Administration. It includes materials from War Department files from 1861 to 1867. The records include information about civilians, such as oaths of allegiance, claims of compensation for property, and lists of prisoners. Digital images of some records are available.
I searched this database and found that my 3rd-great-grandfather William D. Gatlin's horses were seized in 1863.
Another great find! Plus my 3rd Great Grandfather, William A. Gower (your 3rd Great Uncle!), was also listed as having horses seized by the Union. Thanks again for sharing!
