Hello, I've been corresponding with a member of the Westford (MA) Historical Society for a few years, and recently visited there. As a result of my visit in regards to my KIDDER ancestors, a few days later the lady was going through the "Town Farm" records and discovered a birth there which had gone un-recorded at "Town Hall." He was Roscoe KIDDER, b1846 Westford. As I am a long-time KIDDER researcher, and have been in touch with a longer-time KIDDER researcher for 10 years, I started a little mini-project to find out more about Roscoe ! It turns out he was born to an older couple, and it was not previously known that George KIDDER and his 2nd wife had had a child. There must have been problems, as Mrs. KIDDER went to the Town Farm in 1845 and delivered her baby there a few months later. Eventually, the child was sent to live with other families. At Age 5 he was in Hebron, NH, and Age 14 he was in Hollis, NH. By going through the archives of the Lists and Boards, I discovered an old posting of a descendant of Roscoe's. She stated that Roscoe fought in the Civil War from NH. She had seen his Army Records, but did not summarize them. Unfortunately, when I responded to that 2001 posting, I was informed that this lady "had passed away" ... this past Christmas ! Imagine that ! Indirectly, I "found" the official birth of her great-grandfather ... 3 months after her death ! :o( When I started posting queries this month, I heard from another descendant of Roscoe (through her "ex"), and she found Roscoe in 1870 living at "Fort Lyon in the Colorado Territory." In 1880 he was living in Topeka, Kansas, and he married there shortly after, and seems to have remained there. I'm curious whether Roscoe remained in the Army after the War was over, and that was why he was living in CO in 1870; was that where he was stationed at the time ? And, is that why he then went to KS? Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. George "Proctor" KIDDER was another descendant of my ancestors, Thomas and Joanna (KEYES) KIDDER, through another son !

Version 8.6 of the U.S. Civil War Units File (March 30, 2006) is available on the web and will soon be available from the Rootsweb server. (See below for addresses.) The Civil War Units File (CWUNITS) lists people who have information on a unit, ship, or group (often rosters, battles, etc.) and are willing to help others research it. Some are experts; most are "just" helpful fellow researchers. If you see a listing for a unit you are interested in, you can send the contact person email and share information. There are also listings for battles, organizations, counties, ethnic groups, etc. If you write to me, please do *NOT* include this message in your reply. My time and disk space are limited. Also please do *NOT* include attached files. Thanks! The following addresses no longer work and we were unable to find the people, so their listings have been deleted.

To get a listing of all of the ROOTS-L files, send the command get roots-l.catalog Another way to obtain files is via anonymous ftp. To do this, ftp to ftp.rootsweb.com using "anonymous" (withOUT quotes!) as your username and your net address as your password. Issue the command: cd /pub/roots-l/genealog/ You may issue a dir command to see a listing of files, use ctrl-s to temporarily halt the dir command, and ctrl-q to resume the dir command. The command for retrieving a file via ftp is: get genealog.filename substituting, of course, the proper filename for "filename" above. Notice the PERIOD between "genealog" and the filename.

I found a Samuel Grisham in Clarkson's Battalion Cavalry CSA and looking it up found that there are compiled service records supposedly for this unit at NARA. Elsewhere they are listed as from Missouri. Clarkson’s Missouri Cavalry Battalion, Independent Rangers, Col. James J.

Hello, My gg grandfather Samuel Y. Grisham served in Col. Mordecai D. Moreland's Alabama Cavalry Battalion beginning in the Fall of 1862, and I suspect continued serving in Roddy's 4th Alabama Cavalry Reg't until the end of the War, as he was mustered out in Iuka, MS in the Spring of 1865, according to his widow's Conferate pension application in Tishomingo County, MS in 1910.

I would greatly appreciate a lookup to see if Samuel did in fact serve with Roddy's after Moreland's Battalion became part of it, which I believe would have taken place in 1863.

Antoinette In Pulaski Arkansas in 1840 census there was a S C Faulkner, born in Kentucky: 3 children under 5 1 male child 15-19 1 male 30-39 1 male 60-69 1 female child under 5 3 female children 5-9 1 female 20-29 1 female 40-49 This looks like a man (born 1810-1819 and wife born 1820-1829) some children and perhaps parents. In Pulaski Arkansas in 1860 there is a S C Faulkner who is 56 years old (b.1804) married to an Evaline 10 years younger. This would make this fellow 57 years old at the commencement of the war. There is an S C Faulkner who was on the Confederate States General Staff. There was also an S. Faulkner who enlisted in the Ark 30th Infantry which would not be likely for a man that old although certainly possible. No other information was given on these two.

I realize the confederacy military files are not in Washington DC and believe they are at a state level?? The person in question is the late Colonel Sanford C. 'Sandy' Faulkner (1806-1874) who was a teller of tall tales, fiddle player, and composer of the popular fiddle tune The Arkansas Traveller which was the State song of Arkansas from 1949-1963. Colonel Faulkner served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War and was at one point placed in command of the Arsenal at Little Rock, Arkansas. I have done "google" type searchings etc., and have found him with a wife Evalyn/Evaline (sp) but am curious as to know if he may have been married prior to her and to a Katherine Sinex (or Sinexon). Family history (lore) from the Sinexon branch is that he was married to their Katherine & they were the parents of 9 children. The descendants of the Faulkner line are not quite happy questioning that their man was, or might have been married previously. Thank you for taking the time to read this, especially since the question is not really of Civil War. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington)

Thanks to Vicki and John for very helpful suggestions concerning John Leith DUNCAN: I'll follow up on the suggestion to try a Duncan list. The dates and places of death of the John Leith Duncan listed on the Aberdeenshire monument (August, at Richmond), and of the John L. Duncan of the NY 66th who died (at Petersburg) in September, are discrepant but close, and there could be a number of circumstances which could have led to different dates being recorded for the same person. Their ages at death do match - 29. And both are described as dying of wounds received in battle (the implication being that they died some time later, rather than in battle). I think this particular needle may be in a small enough haystack for me to take take the plunge and order the full service record from NARA. Thanks again, William in Alberta

Have you tried the Sons of Confederate veterans site for historical information? There are numerous links to various information sources. Also try the Carlisle barracks folks they have loads of info on various battles and units fought by US and Confederate troops. Also that NARA (Nationla Archives) would be another source. If you have access to the Confederate magazines in repositories such as Clayton Library in Houston. I don't remember the correct name but it was published in the early 1900's. Also there is the huge diary of the Civil War, again you would find this in a genealogical library such as Clayton. John Philip Adams Texas -----Original Message----- From: Dennis J.

Will I will send you some information I Have from my sources on Gen Armsrong. Ater his remarried Frank went to Massachusstte to school. After his education he chose a military career He was commissioned a 2nd Lt of Cavalry. Prior to the Civil War he served at a number of frontier posts and was a part Albert Sidney Johnston's expedition to Utah to subdue the Mormons. When the civil war broke out he did not resign his commission. Promoted to captain in Jun 1861, he fought with the Union at the battle of First Bull Run. He re- signed his commission 13 Aug 1861 and accepted a com- mission in the Confederate Army. He was sent to the western theater. Here he served as an aide to BG Ben McCulloch at the Battle of Wilson's Creek August 1861. In Dec he fought in the battle of the Chustenahlah in the Cherokees Nation. His connection with the Cherokee from his up bringing in the Indian Territory made him useful in bringing many of those people to the con- federate side. Early 1862 he was serving BG McCulloch's at Fort Smith. He was at the battle of Pea Ridge Ark, 7 Mar 1862. After the battle served briefly as Col of the 3rd Louisiana Infantry. In Jun 1862 he recieved a promotion to acting BG with command of Major Gen Sterling Price's Cavalry. Will sent more later.
