I need some opinions. My G-G-Grandfather, Jones Shumate, served in the 32nd Virginia Reg. from January, 1864 until sometime in 1985. His last record was with the unit in the last muster 12/31/64. No further record of him exists to my knowledge. The last battles fought by the unit was with Pickett at Dinwiddie Court House and Five Forks. Making an assumption that he was killed in one of those battles, where might he be buried? Thanks for all the work done in helping folks out, Bob

The surname Coonrod of the two soldiers under discussion appears to be Dutch in origin and NJ and NY had many descendents of Dutch origin, I say descendents because the two names Jabez and Francis do not appear Dutch but appear to be names used of colonial origin. I would imagine that the term dark complexion refers to swarthy faced as is normal amongst people from southern Europe (many sections of Spain, Franch, Italy etc) or from being a farmer all one´s life or, perhaps less likely, intermarriage among colonists and native american tribes. An enrollment officer in 1861 would have called a negro soldier "black" and as to "Black Irish" that is not applicable. My father whose grandfather came from county Cork, called himself black irish because of his black hair (his eyes were blue and face, pardon the expression, "ruddy") which represented the original people found in Ireland before the Danish arrived versus the red or blond haired Danish influence in Ireland. On the misused term "Black Irish" which is an endless subject like the some other recent subjects on this list, one can discuss this ad nauseum at: http://www.darkfiber.com/blackirish/ http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hornbeck/blkdutch.htm Mike

Civil War Chronological History - Major Events Prepared by James L.

The term "Black Irish" etal has been recently discussed on several rootsweb lists as it means many things to many people, all related generally to genealogy. This may stray a bit from Civil-War, but it does directly relate to many who served in the war so I will elaborate. This topic is still controversial and needs further research, but according to researchers on the Black-Irish list, the term cannot be found anywhere in Europe and goes back only as far as colonial America. In terms of Irish migration to the new world, many couldn't pay for the passage so they became indentured servants and were basically "sold" into slavery to pay it off. Most went to the Caribbean and worked in the plantations, but many also ended up on southern plantations serving their English masters. Inevitably, these white Irish interbred with the blacks and produced a fair skinned mulatto which became highly prized and thus valuable as domestic slaves. Some where so fair they could easily pass as white. It is these "white" Irish-Africans that coined the term 'Black-Irish" to mask their African ancestry like many hispanics do/have done in claiming to be "Spanish", i.e. European, and thus stating that they have no "Indian" blood. There are other theories to the origin of the term, but there is evidence of its African connection and a few books have been written about the "Irish slaves" sent to the New World as well as lists of those to be "transported" from the UK to places like Barbados for "crimes against the state" much like the convicts to Australia, etc. Dan Hogan On Monday, September 1, 2003, at 11:06 AM, Sistwstd@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 9/1/03 4:55:05 PM !!!First Boot!!!, jkt54@ktc.com > writes: > >> Just a guess, but they could be of Jewish, Gypsy, or Melungeon >> extraction. >> > > Dark hair and dark eyes and very dark skin is also the "pre" viking > celts, > think Black Irish or Black Welsh <G> also the Huns were dark and are > still > heavily represented in Europe. > Eliz >
