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. All best wishes, Duane On Mon, 13 Mar 2000, cheryl lutz wrote: > Duane, I also have an addition.
