It was interesting for me to note that one of the pall bearers for Mary Allwein was George Seyfert. As Christine knows, and some of the other's on this list may also know, the Seyfert/Allwein connection goes back to 1775 when Hans Jacob & Katrina's daughter Catherine married Joseph Seifert. I can not seem to place this George Seyfert, if anyone would happen to know his lineage I would be very interested to see it.

Hi Cheryl, That is John Alwine, my great-great grandfather, his wife Catherine (Lawrence or Lorens) and children. One of the children, Sylvester is my great grandfather, who along with his brothers Francis, Lewis and Dominic, were Civil War veterans. From Dover Township in York Co. where there were living at the time of the 1850 Census, they then moved to Butler county in Western Pennsylvania. I sent you some stuff yesterday (it should arrive early next week) that tells more about this family.

Francis, Sylvester, Lewis and Dominic are the four brothers that all served during the Civil War that Duane posted about earlier this week (3/11/00); sons of John and Catherine Lawrence Alwine. John was the son of Conrad and Susanna Eckenroth Alwine. In 1850, many of the census takers' handwriting still had 'carryovers' from the old German script, and the letter "w" was formed exactly like the combination of "iv," just without a dot above the first peak. Since I have transcribed census data for GenWeb purposes, I can tell you that it is really tough to read some of those old microfilm images and get accurate spelling unless you are already familiar with the surname. And even today, the handwritten "Alwine" is often misinterpreted by others as "Alivine," as I personally discovered in writing my name during my school days. I occasionally showed up on classroom rosters as Christine Alivine rather than Christine Alwine. Just shows we need to keep our eyes peeled for all kinds of spellings when looking for our elusive Allwein/Alwine ancestors' records! After all, some of the Goshenhoppen records were written ALOIN!

Note that in addition to marrying an Allwein, she also was a descendent. Mary Arnold Steckbeck was the daughter of David Steckbeck and Mary Arnold. Mary Arnold was the daughter of Peter Arnold and Margaret Rebecca Arentz. Peter Arnold is the son of Hermanus Arnold and Catherine Allwein. Catherine Allwein is the daughter of Conrad Allwein and Anna Catharine Weibel. ----- Original Message ----- From: <nnebiker@impop.bellatlantic.net> To: <ALWINE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 3:10 PM Subject: [ALWINE] Mary Arnold Steckbeck Allwein > Lebanon Daily News Wednesday Evening May 10, 1939 > > MRS.

This information comes from the Allwein manuscript: ISAAC M., - son of William and Mary )Mairs) Allwein born May 7, 1842 was reared on his father's farm and educated in the public Schools. He learned his father's trade of plastering but when still in his teens commenced teaching in the public schools taking several sessions of training at a normal class in Lebanon, PA. On July 2, 1863 he enlisted in Captain John Stumm's Company F, 48th Regiment P.V.M. to serve for a term of 90 days for the defence of his country, was honorably discharged August 26, 1863 at Reading, PA by order of Governor Curtin. He re-enlisted as private in Captain B. Frank Heens' Company F. 93rd Regiment P.V. Inf. Vol. Feb. 26th, 1864 for the term of three years or during the war. He served under Generals Grant, Meade, Hancock, Sheridan and others, was in action in the battle of the Wilderness, Pennsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon, Winchester, Fishers Hill, Cedar Creek and other minor engagements, he was never wounded in battle except a slight scratch on right cheek, but his gun had three bullet marks received while fighting. He was honorably discharged at the close of the war June 27th, 1865 at the defenses of Washington, D.C. After his return from the war he married to Fianna Garrett and again taught in public schools but shortly after removed to Lebanon, PA and engaged in the Dry Good business in partnership with Peter A. Glick under the firm name of Allwein & Glick at 745 Cumberland Street. The business not being very successful he sold out his interest after one years trial in April 1869 to his partner Mr. Glick. Remained living in Lebanon another year, after which he purchased a property in North Lebanon Township of about five acres of Benjamin Swanger and moved with his family to this place in the Spring of 1870. He continued teaching in the public schools in the winter time and in the summer worked with neighboring farmers at harvesting. Altogether he taught nineteen terms, all in Lebanon County with the exception of one term in Schuylkill County and one term in Berks County, however, the last term which he taught at Glicks school near Mount Zion he was unable to finish on account of a severe attack of Rheumatism. In the spring of 1883 he sold his country property to Theodore H. Allwein and purchased a lot in Lebanon (5th and Lehman Sts.) upon which he erected a house and moved with his family on June 23rd the same year into the property and opened a grocery store. He carried on the grocery business also at the same time plastering and made a success in both. His son Harry taking care of the store trade while he worked at his trade of plastering. He continued in business successfully until the spring of 1890 when he sold out to his son Harry and son-in-law Harry Zweier after which he retired and moved to one of his properties on North Fifth Street.

Hi Cheryl, You are right. There were *two* Francis Xavier Alwines listed in the Civil War records and I mistakenly collapsed the two entries into one. Both were born in the Adams County area and are on the baptismal rolls of Conewago Chapel. Those records list Francis Xavier (b. 6-7-1843) son of John & Catharine (Lorens or Lawrence) Alwine, and Francis Xavier (b. 2-2-1846) son of Michael and Sarah (Velty or Felty) Alwine. Both were Civil War veterans. These men were first cousins, as their fathers John and Michael were brothers and among the children of Conrad II and Susannah (Eckenrode) Alwine.

I have focused especially on my great grandfather Sylvester and his brothers' participation in the Civil War. The four brothers -- Francis (Frank), Sylvester, Lewis, and Dominic -- served with the Union forces for varying numbers of terms and for differing amounts of time, and all four survived the War. It appears that their father John also served for two weeks of training in what were called "militia and emergency troops," but which were not called into any of the major campaigns of the War. John Alwine and his twin brother Peter, sons of Conrad II (b. 1783, d. 1846) and Susanna (Eckenroth) Alwine, were born October 1, 1816 in Adams County and grew up in the Conewago Creek Catholic community there. John married Catherine Lawrence on June 2, 1837 at the Conewago Chapel in Adams County. They had nine children -- Elisa Anne (b. 1839), Mary Anna (b. 1840), Anna Mary (b. 1841), Francis Xavier (b. 1843), Sylvester - twin (b. 1845, d. 1923), Lewis - twin (b. 1845), Dominic (b. 1848), Jerome (b. 1851), and Sebastian (b. 1854). John and Catherine Alwine moved their family to Butler County in western Pennsylvania between 1850 and 1860 residing in a place called Buena Vista in Fairview Township, Butler County. John was a miller by trade and operated a mill for Jacob Ziegler, one of the wealthiest men of Butler County. Later Sylvester would write (in an application for veteran pension benefits) that in 1858 the family's home in Buena Vista was destroyed by fire. Census Bureau records indicate that in 1860 the family was living in the borough of Millerstown near present-day Chicora, not far from there. John and Catherine Alwine's four oldest sons served with the Pennsylvania Volunteers, having been recruited from the counties of western Pennsylvania. The HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS 1861-65 compiled a list of the names and affiliations of all men from Pennsylvania who served with Union forces during the Civil War. For each of the military units from Pennsylvania that fought in the War this source gives the name and rank of every man who served, along with the dates of their service. The names listed under Alwine, Allwine, or Allwein are as follows, given here roughly by date of service. Those names accompanied by an asterisk (*) in the following list are John and Catharine Alwine's sons. 1. William Alwine, (1) 26th Regiment, Company A, recruited in Philadelphia, May 31, 1861 - Discharged on Surgeon's Certificate, Jan. 1862; (2) 115th Regiment, Company B, recruited in Philadelphia, March 8, 1862 - Not accounted for. 2. *Francis Alwine, (1) 78th Regiment, Company K, recruited in Armstrong Co., Oct. 12, 1861- Nov. 4, 1864; (2) 205th Regiment, Company I, recruited in Blair Co., Sept. 1, 1864 - June 2, 1865. 3. *Lewis Alwine, (1) 134th Regiment, Company C, recruited from Butler Co., Aug. 11, 1862 - May 26, 1863; (2) 78th Regiment, Company K, recruited in Armstrong Co., Feb. 24, 1864 - Transferred to company B, Oct. 18, 1864 - Sept. 11, 1865. 4. *Sylvester Conrad Alwine, (1) 134th Regiment, Company C., recruited from Butler Co., Aug. 11, 1862- May 26, 1863; (2) 204th Regiment, 5th Artillery, Battery L, recruited from Allegheny, Lawrence, Beaver, Cambria, Westmoreland, Armstrong and Greene Co., Aug. 30, 1864 - June 30, 1865. 5. Franklin P. Allwein, 126th Regiment, Company E, recruited in Dauphin Co., Aug 13, 1862 - May 29, 1863. 6. Adam Allwein, 152nd Regiment, 3rd Artillery, Battery A, recruited variously, Oct. 22, 1862 - July 25, 1865. 7. Joseph B. Allwein, 152nd Regiment, 3rd Artillery, Battery A, recruited variously, Oct. 22, 1862 - July 25, 1865. 8. Isaac M. Allwine, 93rd Regiment, Company A, recruited in Lebanon Co., Feb 26, 1864 - June 27, 1865. 9. *Dominic, 212th Regiment, 6th Artillery, Battery B, recruited mainly from Allegheny, Butler, Westmoreland, Fayette, Washington and Lawrence Cos., Sept. 3, 1864 - June 13, 1865. 10. Jonathan Allwine, 50th Regiment, Company E, recruited at Reading, Feb. 25, 1864 - killed at Petersburg, Va. -- buried on Mrs. V. Armstead's property, Virginia. A search of the pension and military records from the Civil War at the National Archives (1400 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C.) turns up several additional Alwines, mainly from Ohio, Indiana and New York: Barnard Alwine, 3rd Ohio Infantry, Company D (no dates); Charles Alwine, Company L, 25th Ohio Infantry, 12th Battery, Ohio Light Artillery (no dates); James H. Alwine, 69th Ohio Infantry, Company H (no dates); William L. Alwine, Ohio Infantry (no dates); Jacob Alwine, Indiana Infantry (no dates); Theodore Alwine, 106th Pennsylvania Infantry, Company K (no dates); and George Alwine, A65 New York Infantry (no dates). Except for names, the information here is relatively sparse, and more effort is needed to uncover the service dates and activities of these soldiers. Four of the names listed above of Pennsylvania Civil War veterans are sons of John and Catherine Alwine. The first of their sons to enlist was the eldest, Francis, who enrolled for a three-year term of service with the 78th Regiment on the 12th of October, 1861, serving in the southern theater of the War. His regiment fought in several battles in Tennessee and participated in the defense of Nashville. In December of 1862 the 78th fought in the Battle of Stones River (or the Battle of Murfreesboro) under General William S. Rosecrans, a hard-fought battle that dragged on for several days. In the end, the battle had the highest casualty rate of the war, with each side losing about one-third of its men. The 78th alone lost one hundred ninety men (either killed or wounded). Later on the following fall, Rosecran's forces would be attacked by a reinforced Confederate army under General Brag at Chickamauga, Georgia, Sept. 19-20, 1963. After a fierce two-day battle, Rosecrans' army had to retreat to Chattanooga. This was the Confederacy's last important victory in the Civil War. General Ullyses S. Grant took over the command from Rosecrans and from there the 78th participated in several major battles: the Battle of Chattanooga in November 23-25, 1863 and the Battle of Kenesaw Mountain in June 27, 1864. The regiment was mustered out of service in Kittaning in Armstrong Co., Pa. (near Pittsburgh) on the 4th of November, 1864, after more than 3 years of service. After the war Francis (Frank) Alwine settled in Saxonburg, Butler Co. Pa., where he was still living in 1923 at the time of Sylvester's death and where he, like his father before, worked as a miller. There is an "Alwine Road" to be found a short ways from Saxonburg -- which connects South Rebecca Street and Addy Boy Lane -- on which I am told his mill was located. An index for the 1870 Census I recently examined lists a Franklin Alwine, 27 years of age, living in Jefferson Township of Butler County where Saxonburg is located. The age matches the baptismal records for Francis from Conewago Chapel in Adams County. Francis's twin brothers Sylvester and Lewis first joined the Union forces early in the War for a 9-month term of service. They joined the 134th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers in Butler, Pa. on August 11, 1862 and were assigned to Company C. They were recruited at a time when the Confederate army was advancing towards Washington and troops were badly needed. Their regiment joined a brigade, commanded by General E.B. Tyler, which was ordered into service and departed immediately for Washington. On the 30th of August the regiment marched out towards the Bull Run battlefield, but did not arrive in time to participate in the fighting in the 2nd Battle of Bull Run (Aug. 27-30, 1862). Later, on September 18th, after a fatiguing night march, the regiment arrived on the battlefield of Antietam, but the battle was substantially over and the enemy withdrew into Virginia. The Confederate retreat gave Lincoln the occasion to announce the Emancipation Proclamation. The brigade under General Tyler saw battle at Fredericksburg on December 13-15, 1862, but the winter weather cut short the progress of either side. On the 27th of April, 1863, the spring campaign commenced and the 134th regiment saw battle at Chancellorsville. Confederate forces were victorious, although Stonewall Jackson was killed. After the battle the regiment was ordered to Harrisburg, where on the 26th of May, it was mustered out of service. More than a year later, Sylvester Alwine would re-enlist for one year's service in the 204th Regiment, Fifth Artillery and would be assigned to Battery L from August 30, 1864 through to the end of the War. His regiment saw very little military action and spent the winter near Washington building stockades and block-houses. Lewis would later re-enlist as well, serving in the 78th Regiment (with his brother Francis) briefly from February 24th through September 11, 1865, well past the end of the War. The youngest brother Dominic, who was only 13 when the War broke out, served from Sept. 3, 1864 for 6 months toward the end of the War through to June 13, 1865. He was primarily on duty at the forts in Washington guarding the Capital. After the war, my great grandfather Sylvester worked as a miller in the Beaver and Butler region of western Pennsylvania. He married Mary Sarver on June 5, 1870 at New Brighton in Beaver County. In 1884 Sylvester and Mary Alwine joined the Western expansion of the United States and settled on a farm in Washington County, Kansas. They farmed there until his retirement in 1911 when they moved to the town of Washington where they lived until their deaths in 1923 (Sylvester) and 1930 (Mary). Dominic resided at Glade Mills in Butler County until 1867 when he settled in Beaver Falls in nearby Beaver County for the remainder of his life. He was a shoemaker. There is no record of what happened to Lewis, although there is a story that has been passed down through the years that he drowned in an accident while he and Sylvester were crossing the Ohio River. Although America sacrificed tens of thousands of young men in the Civil War -- a war whose casualties far exceed those of any other war in American history -- all four of John and Catherine Alwine's sons survived the ordeal. The brothers Sylvester and Lewis Alwine came close to battle at Antietam and the 2nd Battle of Bull Run, and were involved to some extent in the fighting at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. With these exceptions their regiments were not really involved in any of the major engagements of the War, which probably accounts in part for the fact that they survived. Francis's regiment on the other hand, engaged in some of the fiercest battles of the Southern campaign, and his pension papers suggest he suffered some health problems that he attributed to the War. As far as I can tell, at War's end all of their regiments were stationed in the vicinity of Washington D.C. and they remained there on duty well after it ended on April 9th, 1865. Five days later President Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. Sylvester Alwine's obituary states that toward the end of the War "his regiment was stationed at Washington D.C. where he was detailed as one of the body guards of Abraham Lincoln and was just off duty a short time, and had not yet reached the barracks, when the word came of the assassination." I am sure there is more to be learned on the subject of Alwine/Allwein participation in the Civil War -- this is what I have turned up so far. If you recognize any of your ancestors in the above lists of Civil War veterans, I would be happy to know more about them.
