Thank you Derick. I will go to the site now for instructions. Appreciate your time. Vickye White

I would like to know the steps to getting a CSA marker for my gg-grandfather? I use to have instructions. They seem to have vanished. I have his pension record from the State so that is already done. Thank you, Vickye White Rt. 1 Box 96 3477 N. FM 1212 Stanton, TX 79782

Hi all, I have come across a brief statement, in a book, that indicates my ancestors and their relative may have been manufacturing "Home Made" rifles for the Lumpkin Co GA Militia prior to the Civil War. Does anyone know who was in control of Arms contracts prior to the Civil War, the County or State? Where might I look to confirm this books statement? Keith Bailey

I live in that database, it is great!! Michelle

I recently came across this website - it's great for locating Civil War veterans. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/index.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINALLY!!!!! The DE Roster of Delaware Soldiers <A HREF="http://www.bitsofblueandgray.com/roster.htm"> http://www.bitsofblueandgray.com/roster.htm</A> is finally complete!! All the names have been added to the website which appear in "The Roster of Union Soldiers 1861-1865" Edited by Janet Hewett, Broadfoot Publishing Co., Wilmington, N.C. 1998. Some other information has been added for some of the soldiers. In some cases, there is even a picture of the soldier's grave marker. I still have some information to add but I did want to get all the names on the site. If you have a Delaware Civil War soldier and have any of the following info: Birth, death dates, cemetery where buried, please, feel free to email it to me. If you have a picture of the grave marker, send that also and I will include it. Please be sure it is a .jpg file. I will now be going thru the rosters listed in Schaarf's "History of Delaware" to see if there are other names.

my ggggrandfather, John Stevens(of Cincinnati,OH), was a fireman on the first train run on the P.R.R., carrying Union soldiers to the south and was killed in 1861 according to a letter that I have. I am thinking that he may have been part of the early battles of West Virginia(possibly Philippi) as they involved regiments from Ohio. I have seen that engineers and other railroad employees did not have to enlist for the Union, but instead ran the trains since they knew how to. He was listed as an engineer in the 1850 census, so I'm thinking that he may not have enlisted, but rather have just been a fireman as it was his trade. My question is, where would the engineers be buried if killed in action if they were not enlisted? thanks, Charlie

Ken, I was actually researching that area a few weeks ago for a friend, but I gave her all the stuff I had accumulated. I will assume you mean 1864? www.civilwar.nps.gov lists battles by state and date, and can give you an idea of the general area of Frederick co. VA to look, but I believe that was a month or two after the 2nd Battle of Kernstown. I found that here are several large graveyards in and around Winchester. If you will go to rootsweb you can do a county search (Frederick Co.) and one of the links that comes up will contain a list of the cemeteries. Only a few of the cemeteries that come up will have the names listed. One cemetery that is not done claims to contain a large number of soldiers, but I don't recall the name of it. It would be the cemetery that I suggest you look into, if you can find a source for it Good luck, Keith Bailey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken & Margo Brown" <kmbrown@vnet.net> To: <CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:14 PM Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] Burials in Winchester > A friend's gggrandather was killed on September 19, 1884 at Winchester, VA and has been unable to locate his grave.

Hi Saralie, For once I feel most embarrassed as this is one subject I have never really looked into, because Kinston is not very far from me at all. I guess the times I've spent in Kinston have been to see the construction of the Ram Neuse II, and to also see the remains of the hull of the original Ram Neuse on display there. You may be interested in this website about the construction of the new ship. http://www.cssneuseii.com/ I must say, you've peeked my curiosity on the subject of Pickett and what happened, and I'm certainly going to have to look into it. When I found out any good details, I'll be sure to share them with you and the list. Edward

oooooops.... Im sorry for the posting folks. It was not meant to be public. Kevin

Hi Pam, Thanks for the suggestions. Didn't get to see the Inn, but spent several hours at the battlefields and enjoyed my visit. We also went to lookout point but although I enjoyed the view,,,,,I was disappointed with the group of 5 confederate " Reenactors" who were there. I brought up my work here at Andersonville and that there were several thousand brought here,,,by way of Belle Island who were captured there. They really gave me the cold shoulder and obviously had no interest in the site based on Yankees. It really bothers me when self proclaimed " Reenactors " give no thought of what happened to both sides and focus on ONLY...One side or the other. Real reenactors look for facts and learn the total story...but then again...Ive just about gotten used to it and can pick out that type when I approach them. Anyway,,,we went to the aquarium,,,celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary on the Georgia Belle cruise and really enjoyed our stay. Spent several hours trying to find Tunnel hill historic site but never did find it...( grin ) If your ever in this neck of the woods...let me know as I often meet researchers at Andersonville and give a great 3 hour tour.
