Any information on Fluehr who i believe died there. They were from pa.

This was posted on another list. I have posted it here FYI. I would suggest that those of you who belong to other groups might pass it on. I would be devastated if I missed something like this regarding one of my ancestors. Subject: Mark Crosby Jr Discharge paper Civil War From: "Richard H. Greene" <rhunterg@ix.netcom.com> Subject: [Fwd: [OHMARION-L] Found: Original Civil War Discharge Paper] Date: Tue, 03 Nov 1998 14:39:24 -0800 I don't know how to get this posted nation-wide. But, I would like to see this original document returned to a member of the original family. My mother-in-law bought a picture frame at an estate sale in Tucson, AZ. When she took the picture out and removed the cardboard from behind it, a very delicate, old, and yellowed piece of paper fell out. This is a summary of what was written and readable on the paper: =========================================== Civil War Discharge Paper For: Mark CROSBY, Jr. Private, Company B, 16th Regiment Union Army >From Yarmouth, Massachussetts Entered service in 1860 and left service 1864 Marked Paid and signed by B. McCONNELL Description: 5 ft. 3 inches, gray eyes, dark curly hair. He was a clerk in the Union Army. Entered in the Auditors records on July 26, 1870 This document bears the Union Crest. ================================================= Help me post this for others to read. If you know someone who might be interested in this document, please E-Mail a reply to my inquiry. A life is not lost when it is known to future generations. Help me keep Mark CROSBY, Jr. alive for his family. Forward this message to anywhere you think might help. Happy Hunting! Nancy J. Smith n-smith1@ti.com

HARDY, Henry Harvey.....Guard at Andersonville If anyone has any information. Thanks in advance

Hi Will, This would be a diary written by a prisoner while in Andersonville or after he left? What is his name? Do I understand that it covers the time he was, perhaps, still IN Andersonville and that time would be 1864? I believe they would accept this in their collection at Andersonville. My cousin contributed a book to Andersonville just a few days ago that he had written and published based on a journal he had in his possession. So it was not the original, but was a book written using transcribed portions of the original. Do you wish to contribute the original? Or do you want someone to transcribe the original and then contribute the copy? Or do you want to have a copy published? I could find out some information on those processes from my cousin, if you like. He is a retired Presbyterian minister in his 60's who majored in education in college, so he is quite knowledgeable on editing or publishing books. However, if you just want someone to transcribe the original into a copy, I am qualified to do that. I was a transcriptionist for many years and since my great-grandfather was in Andersonville during that time frame, it would be very interesting to me as a project. Would you be willing to trust it out of your possession long enough for me to type it up? I'm a 57 year old living in Florida and I would be honored to do it for you. Let me know what it is you want done and I'll see what I can find out. If you have a copy prepared, at least you would be able to provide copies to any source of your choosing simply by printing up another copy. Perhaps someone else has something different to offer. I agree with you. Something like that should be made available to Civil War researchers. Another way to go would be to have it typed up and put on a webpage for all to read.

I have an Andersonville diary in my collection. It is a period diary dated 1864 (embossed) and contains interesting, however brief entrys. The information in this diary should be recorded for research purposes. Need a contact for this purpose. Thanks Will

I'm looking for a list of union dead at Andersonville. Specifically a Payne who was a doctor Anybody know of such a list? kengibbs@midmo.net

Rich, My cousin sent for our great-grandfather's pension records, but in the papers he gave me there is one document called a "Memorandum From Prisoner Of War Records". It definitely lists where he was captured, the date, his time in Andersonville and when he was paroled. Maybe you have to request this specific document, not just the pension records. I don't know if my cousin recalls what all he requested, but I can check. Hope this helps a little. I'm new to this list, so I'm sure there are others who know exactly what to request.

My great grandfather William Tedrow was shot and captured around Lynchburg, Va on the 17th of June 1864. He was in Co "A" 2nd WVA Cav. In his pension statement he stated that he was held a prisoner around Lynchburg for a few days before being transfered to Andersonville where he was held about three months. He was then transfered to Florence because of his wounds. Is there any way this can be verfied, there is no record that he was at Andersonville, only his statement that I got from the National Archives. Also in his statement he said he was on hunters retreat when he was shot, what would hunters retreat be?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this list - hopefully someone out there can help me with some information. According to family lore, my great grandfather, Richard McGREGOR was a prisoner at Andersonville. He was born in Scotland and somehow came to this U.S. and took the place of a doctor from the north (don't know if he was paid) during the war and was then captured. He survived Andersonville and following his release made his way up to the Niagara area of Ontario where he spent a summer recuperating and picking fruit before making his way back to Banchory in Scotland. Would there be any records that might verify this tale? I don't know if he would have used his own name or "borrowed" the doctor's. Thanks for any help, Fiona McConney Olds, Alberta, Canada

How can I find out when my great grandfather was put into andersonville and released. Andrew Melville. Served in a Penn. unit. thank you, GM

I'd like to know also, I did have 1 or 2 relatives that were guards at Andersonville.

Has anyone on this list heard of an organization called the Andersonville Survivors Association? I recently saw a certificate issued to a survivior of Andersonville and memeber of this organization. No specific date on the certificate, but the group appeared to be incorporated in Chicago, Illinois after the Civil War. Any info or potential leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave Stephenson

Does anyone know if the Andersonville CD tells the names of the guards at the prison. I think one of my relatives was a guard when he was a teenager. Helen

To those who had ancestors who were guards at Andersonville: The Andersonville CD does not contain a list of the guards. Further info concerning what is contained on the CD can be found at the following web site, as well as ordering info: http://www.rapidnet.com/~greg/Tom/CDROM.html You may consider contacting Daryl Hutchinson with the info you have concerning guards. He may have an interest in including info on the guards in a future release of the CD.

I have a relative who died at Andersonville. Relatives searched for his grave without success so we did some research. With the help of a very kind individual, we were able to determine that he was buried with an incorrect name. His name was John Hartley and he served in Co I 149th Regiment, Pa Volunteers. Some of his papers recording his death mistakenly listed the 148th. He apparently was buried as James Hardy of the 148th...a check of the 148th listed no one with that name. Is there a way to have the records at Andersonville changed? Thank you for any help or assistance. Linda Mockenhaupt

My G-G-Uncle, George O. Huston, was a member of the 9th Indiana Cavalry, 121st Reg., Co. D. According to his military record, received from the National Archives, he was captured at Sugar Creek, Tenn., 26 Dec. 1864. It states "He was supposed to have died at Andersonville Prison 22 April 1865". If anyone who has the CD with the roster of those who died, could check and verify this information, I would appreciate it. Also the grave Number if it is found he indeed did die at Andersonville. Thank You, Gary Sacre
