Carolyn Although it does not confirm actual military service the following letter from the Civil War Navy OR seems to confirm your suspicions, assuming of course that D H Baldwin is the same man, of his allegeance to the Southern Cause as D H Baldwin and his partners from Savannah outfit a CSA ship, the Gallatin "until within the last year in the service of the United States" for war. He may have been in the navy quartermasters corps for Georgia although someone more familiar with these things would have to verify if "captain" is a rank conferred on other than shipboard commanders. Mike Hon. ROBERT TOOMBS, Secretary of State, Montgomery, Ala. [ Enclosure. ] SAVANNAH, April 18, 1861. The undersigned asks for a letter of marque for schooner Gallatin. She is a topsail schooner of about 150 tons and was until within the last year in the service of the United States. She will be owned by F. W. Simms, D. H. Baldwin, J. A. Courvoisie, Wm. Stamch, and Wm. Hone, all of the city of Savannah. It is intended to place two 12-pounders on the main deck, and supply the crew of about 40 men with rifles, cutlasses, and revolvers. The undersigned will give satisfactory bond that the owners, officers, and crew will observe the laws of the Confederate States and the regulations for their conduct. The undersigned will be master of the vessel. WM. HONE. Hon.

I am trying to locate definitive information about my 3rd g-grandfather's Civil War service. His name was Daniel Hoard Baldwin (1825-1887). He married Katharine Alice Philbrick in 1855. On-line notes from the UNC Southern History Collection state he was a Captain. Although he was born in Massachusetts, and moved to NY after the war, I am fairly certain he served in the Confederate Army. He married in Georgia and operated a business in Savannah. "During the Civil War, Daniel H. Baldwin served as a captain in the quartermaster corps. In 1866, Baldwin moved from Georgia to New York City where he became a commission merchant. He served on the board of the Savannah Cotton Exchange and was a member of the Chatham Artillery. Baldwin maintained homes in Savannah and New York where he died in 1887." I tried the NPS site, but found nothing of help. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thanks - Carolyn B. Timmann

Les In the Union Army at the civilwardata.com there are 3 John E Williams and 27 John Williams listed as from Kentucky. The 3 John E Williams are shown as enlisting in Louisville, Paris, and Louisa. There are 4 John W Williams listed from Kentucky enlisting at Scottsville, Louisville, Eminence, and Camp Joe Holt. In the Confederate Army there are 7 John Williams and 2 John W Williams these last two enlisting in Somerset and Jackson That gives a total of 43 possibilities. From this it will be hard to pin down your man unless you begin sending in for the service records of each man trying to determine which one he is, if any which is a rather expensive proposition. There are people who do those searchs, but with no other information they will probably not pinpoint the man using the service records. Some criteria needed are: company he was in, Union or Confederate, and wounded or prisoner of war and enlistment place. Since you don't have this information, it will be difficult to pin him down at the National Archives. Perhaps going the website for Allen County at USGenWeb you could query someone who may have enlistments from that county from other sources. Old newspapers from that time are also possibilities.

Jim, Thank you for the information. Joseph O. Trim was one of the first settlers in what is now the City of Pinellas Park, Florida. We are trying to locate more information about him for our Veterans' records. Thanks again, Jean Cromwell, Historian Pinellas Park, Florida

That's the specific microfilm number where he's at in the index to compiled service records for Maine soldiers. However, since this is only an index, there's not much more info there than you already have now. 3. a. You can order his service record from the National Archives in D.C. http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/military/civil_war_records.html tells you how. b. Service records will have little to no genealogical info. Pension records (also at NARA) have more. c. Flesh things out by studying his unit. Recommend "With our Faces to the Foe: A History of the Fourth Maine Infantry in the War of the Rebellion" by Peter P. Dalton Dennis

Jean, Your soldier was a member of both Company H and Company D. You can see this on the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil War site. The Film and Roll number are referring to the microfilm records at NARA. You can obtain his records from NARA.

Hi Everyone, This is a bit off topic but it ultimately does involve the exchange of Civil war data so please bear with me. If anyone can help me, feel free to contact me off list at nelehyram@earthlink.net I'd like to create a website for the 10th Ohio Cav with a search engine that will search the entire roster by name - first and last using both exact spelling and soundex. I'd also like the database searchable by several other criteria such as age, company etc. So here are some of my questions: 1. Does anyone know of any coding or any program in the public domain that would allow such searches? 2. Has anyone had experience with web site creation programs that they have purchased that did include some search engine mechanism? Or, that they were pleased overall with the program? 3. In general, any ideas or suggestions on where to seek additional information on creating such a search mechanism? I would also be interested in hearing other ways that people have handled roster searches on their websites and what methods provided easy and efficient access to the data for the site visitor. Thanks for you time and patience. Mary Helen nelehyram@earthlink.net but once I figure out how to set up and create the search engine and database, I know the rest of the website I can definitely handle.

>From The Cork Examiner, 24 February 1863 - THE WAR IN AMERICA. ---------- EXTRACT of a letter from an Irish labourer in Washington, U.S., to his mother in the neighbourhood of Cork:-- Washington, Jan. 18, 1863. All paper money is gowing in this country, know sence the war commenced by taking this to the Bank to send it to Ireland you will get only one half in gold first, in consequence of the war all the gold and silver is played out. I hope it will soon be settled one way or the other, there is many a fine irish man killed in this country and many a por widow and orphan is crying.

Maggy I searched two sites: http://www.civilwardata.com/ http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ The first requires a $25 fee per year be paid the second is free. There are other fee-based sites which I do not belong to. There are 41 Daniel Hill's at least who served and survived for the Union Army in the Civil War listed in the civilwardatabase plus 4 Confederates. The civilwardata (HDS) database is nearly complete for Union except TN, Federal and WV, but only partial for Confederates. There are two listed who served the Union from Iowa, but their ages do not match the birthdate given. The Soldiers and Sailors System lists 77 Daniel Hill's who fought in the war. The Soldiers and Sailors database is more complete as to men but sparse as to information compared to the civilwardata database. Any of the following specifics might help: What county in Iowa did he live in in 1861-2? Did he have a middle initial? Was he ever a prisoner of war? Several more men could be eliminated from the search by age but obtaining service records from the National Achives from the rest to see if one matches would be a costly proposition -- but possible.

Find the history of his unit (some are on-line) and see where his unit was serving at the time of his death. Then look for hospitals in the vicinity. Researching the unit of one of my gg-grandfathers helped me locate the place where he died.

Maggy, The two main things you need to start with is whether he was Union or Confederate (being born in Iowa, one would assume he was a Union Soldier), and as much information about the military unit he was in.

>From The Cork Examiner, 22 April 1863 - KERRYMEN IN AMERICA ---------- IT is with much pleasure I record the brilliant success attending the military career of Captain Robert Scully, of Killarney, who joined the Federal army about the middle of September last. His present distinguished position is attributable to his tact and bravery in successive battles, particularly as promotion at the time he entered the army was difficult. Captain Scully being high in the esteem of General Corcoran, we augur for him a still more brilliant success, and fervently hope he may be spared to win more glorius laurels.--Killarney Correspondent. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
