Hi, Is there anyone on the List that has an interest/ancestor in the following: re Pennsylvania Company I, 7th Regiment Res. Inf. (36th PA Volunteers) Company K, 190th PA Infantry My great grand Samuel Broomer (Broomall) enlisted 26 June 1861, was captured at the Wilderness, 5 May 1864, paroled at N.E? C? Ferry (anyone know what that was?) North Carolina, on Feb 26-28, 1865, and was mustered out 28 June 1865 at Arlington Heights. (no state given) I would like to correspond with anyone with a particular interest or knowledge of this unit. I am Nancy Kapperman at GKapper@aol.com Thank you.

Hi Shirley, There are several sources for finding pension information on those who served in the Civil War. I have used microfilm and at least one printed source. The Family History Centers may have the microfilm which you can rent. I used microfilm at three different genealogy libraries, so it must be a pretty common holding. There is also an "11th Census of US Union Veterans and Widows of the Civil War"....I used the one for Chester County, PA. and it included name, rank, company, dates served, and residence. Have you contacted USGENWEB for your county of interest in Pennsylvania to see what they have for look-ups? I'm sure there are several people on the List that can give you more complete information than this, but maybe this is a start. Nancy at GKapper@aol.com

Hi Ellie & Andersonville group, The photos you spoke of are at the Military History Institute in Carlisle, PA.

Hi Ellie, Did you try checking the 1850 and 1860 Census Indexes and comparing them with 1870 to see which Joseph is missing? Perhaps that would give you a lead on where he lived if not in Lawrence County. Also, I have run across the situation where a man who was entering the service would make a Will, so perhaps you might check those. If Lawrence County has Will Indexes on-line, or even better yet, if they are microfilmed by LDS, you might read all the Vaughn Wills and see if you can find a mention of your fellow and/or his widow. Hope this might help. Nancy (Great Granddaughter of Samuel Broomer (Broomall) Co I, 7th Reg. Res. Inf (36th PA Volunteers; Co K, 190th PA Inf.; Andersonville prisoner 5 May 1864-26 Feb 1865.)

Hi, I saw your listing, and I'm working on my family tree. Do you have any Roths buried at Andersonville? Our family records state that in 1849 Adam Roth with his wife and two sons came over from Germany. They settled in Pittsburgh, PA. The oldest son, (name unknown) was "lost in the Civil War" - the other son, George has no records of serving. He is my great-grandfather. I was wondering, how can I find this son who was "lost in the Civil War"???? Thank you. Shirley in North Carolina shirleyt@dnet.net

Hello listmembers Recently I saw a web page that had enlisted men's photo's where you can see if your soldier's picture was there. For $10.00 they would make a copy and send it. Does anyone know of this site. Also My man was JOSEPH K. VAUGHN (VAUGHAN) of the 103rd PA Infantry Co A. If anyone knows of any photographs of this Co. I would love to hear from you. Joseph died at Andersonville Sept. 1864. I received the pension papers from his wife but it didn't say when he was born or where or who his parents were. Would his grave marker have any of this information? Does anyone have any suggestions on finding out this information. I've researched census from Lawrence Co where he lived with his wife but have found nothing at all. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Ellie ellie@pacific.net

Greetings: I saw the message about the Plymouth Pilgrims group, and was wondering if there is something similar for Tennesseans who were incarcerated at Andersonville. My 2nd grand-uncle Hubbard Blaylock of the 2nd Tennessee (USA), Co. D died at Andersonville in July of 1864, and I know that a large percentrage of that Company was captured at Rogersville and incarcerated at Andersonville and elsewhere . (Hubbard's brother Michael, a corporal in Co. D, was at Richmond prison, but was then exchanged). I was re-watching my tape of the "Sultana" documentary yesterday and saw mention of several Tennesseans from other regiments, such as the 6th and 7th, who were casualties of the explosion, and also a few who survived the explosion, and presumably most of them came via Andersonville. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who knows anything of the 2nd regiment, or also the 4th Tenn. Cavalry (though I believe none of them were captured, my gg-grandfather served in Co. K). Thanks Jessie Blalock http://www.clark.net/pub/jcblal/geneal.html

Curtis, Since your ancestor, Corporal John McClain, was in the 103d PA and was captured at Plymouth, NC on 20 April `64, he was part of a group of prisoners called the Plymouth Pilgrims.

Dear subscribers of the list, I'm doing my researches from Belgium (Europe) and I'm searching about Belgian Civil War soldiers. And there is a story about Belgians imprisoned in Andersonville. Those men enlisted in the 93rd Indiana Infantry : "During the Civil War, many Union soldiers were captured and held in a military prison at Andersonville, Georgia. In that lot were four men from Leopold in Perry County. They were: Henry Devilliz, Lambert Rogier, Isadore Naviaux and Xavier Rogier (all born in Belgium). Many men were ill and suffered from lack of water and food. Xavier Rogier became sick and died in his brother's arms. His brother held him for a long time, because it was so crowded and he dreaded to lay him down. They prayed together and decided to provide the money to procure a statue of Our Lady of Consolation if they were spared and able to return home to Leopold safely. This they were able to do and they entrusted Bishop John George to go to Luxembourg along with Henry Devillez and a son to get the statue. The original such statue is in Luxembourg and has quite a long history dating back to 1666. I once asked my grandmother, Mary Meunier Grave, why Mr. George did so many things for people. She explained that he knew his way around better than most, and could speak two or three languages. So he was picked as an emissary for the people many times. To go back to our story, these men made the trip to Luxembourg and returned with the statue. It was placed upon the side altar where it now stands." ... and this story is well know in Perry County, Indiana, and all the people of Leopold know it. But the problem is: the soldiers in 'story' are not the same as in 'history', as far as I known. I have checked the pension file of the Belgian soldiers of the 93rd Indiana and, for me, the prisoners of comp. G, 93 rd Indiana captured at Brice's Cross Roads (Guntown) Miss. and put in Andersonville were : Henri DEVILLEZ Ed. ( Eugene ) DEVILLEZ Frederick MEUNIER Narcisse MEUNIER (1st Lt. ) with them, another member of the same company, but not a Belgian : John MARK no trace of the others : Lambert Rogier, Xavier Rogier and Isadore Naviaux. For Lambert ROGIER, no problem,he was not in Andersonville, being at Chattanooga in fall 1864. But for Isadore NAVIAUX, it's not so simple. The only argument I have is : he not says in is pension records that he was in Andersonville ! ... and I have no Xavier ROGIER in the roosters of the 93rd Indiana ( only !!! a Lambert ROGIER 'present till June 1864, since not born on any other rolls, records are incomplete' and a Melchior ROGIER dead in Memphis, Tenn. in 1863 ). So my query : can you copy or send me the entries to Andersonville, following the battle of Brice's Cross Road in June 1864 or a list of the soldiers of the 93rd Indiana "admitted" in Andersonville. ( I don't know how those lists were written). Sincerely, Guy Gallez

My GGGrandfather was in the WIS 16th Regiment, Co. C then F. If I find other prisoners listed on the Andersonville CD with the 16th, Co. C or F does it mean my ancestor was in the same group of men or do all states have numbered Regiments? I mean could there be another regiment numbered 16 from another state? Pam

I am trying to confirm that Wallace W. Smith of the 14th. Connecticut Vols. was indeed held at Andersonville. And if so what dates and how freeded

I'am looking for information on my g-g-grandfather Daniel Shafer or (Shaffer). He was a union soldier from New York and I believe he died as a prisoner in January 1865. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you, Michael Shafer e-mail mikelinh@deltanet.com

Is there a site or something that can tell me who was detained at Andersonville? Thank you Barbara
