Notes from "The Descendants of Matthew Glave":
Both of Felix's marriages are recorded in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages.
Felix and his brothers Benjamin and Americus all served in Hill's Company of the 1st Tennessee Infantry during the Cherokee War 1836-39. This was a unit of volunteers. On September 17, 1892, Felix filed a Survivor's Certificate (#986) for a pension for his service. (Index to Indian Wars Pension Files 1892-1926)
Felix and his second wife, Nancy are listed in the 1850 Census of Davidson County. No children are listed, although a 16 year old girl living with them, Rosanna Huggins, may be Nancy's younger sister. The couple does not appear in the 1860 or 1870 Tennessee Census and may have moved out of the state.
Felix may be the Captain F. R. Gleaves listed in the records of the "Gleaves Company" 50th Arkansas Militia that participated in the Battle of Pea Ridge in March of 1862. It is unknown where within the state this unit was formed.
