He was 14 at the time of his enlistment and was captured and sent to Point Lookout. He did survive and returned to Botetourt to marry and have 12 children. My husband's great grandfather, Nathaniel Simmons, was also from Botetourt and also was captured and I believe sent to Point Lookout. I would like to know more about the circumstances of their capture and release. I also think it would be interesting if they knew each other. Thanks. Dottie

Carolyn, You might want to look into H. E. Garrett of CO F 11th GA INF.... 9 Garretts are in the 11th GA INF. The 11th mustered-in, near Fannin and Union co. GA. If this is your Henry Eli Garrett please let me know. I'm trying to determine if the Albert Garrett in CO F is my ggg-uncle. As far as Benjamin A. Hawkins... look at CO F 43rd GA INF. Not the exact county, but they mustered at Big Shanty, which is where I know several people in Fannin co went to join the Confederate Army. CO E Daniel W. Garrett William E.

I just renewed for a second year and have more than gotten my money's worth. I use it all the time - to learn about the soldiers, their units, their hometowns or where they enlisted. Most of the data for Union units is completed. Not a lot of the Confederate units are available but they say they are working on it.

Sandy It really depends on your usage. I have belonged to that database for several years now and am perfectly happy. The searches I do are in the states they have transcribed. I usually do at least 10 searches a week. Good news is I don´t receive emails trying to sell me things or "upgrade" my subscription. You should check the "Data Base Status" and find out if they have transcribed your states yet. They are up front and tell you if your state isn´t there don´t subscribe. They move at a slow pace -- maybe 2 or 3 states a year. Their index is a prelude to finding out information from the National Archives so don´t expect more than you would find in the adjutant general´s report from the various states and some have more than others. If you have a common name and nothing else then you can search for thousands of Smiths for hours trying to find some data that may match. I would say if you are searching more than 2-3 a names a week then the $25 is a reasonable number. The site is re! latively fast also compared to the Genealogy Sites like Ancestry and Genealogy.com I can find a name in less than 5 secs on my 56K modem hookup with civilwardata.com. The slow response at the Genealogy sites along with more and more convoluted searching methods and rising prices finally drove me away. Ancestry started at $30 a year and the last time I checked it was $80. The same search at Ancestry is through multiple portals and could take 2 minutes or more. On the other hand if you have only a couple of soldiers and want a look up -- send the names to us here at Civil War and someone here might do it for free and they may have better databases at hand.

Thought this might be of interest to someone on the list: This came from "Roll of Honor " Mark Hughes page 188 The Skirmishes at Appomattox Station and Appomattox Courth House on April 8th, 1865, convinced General Lee that his army's line of retreat was cut off. Lee had no option but to "go and see General Grant", as he put it. In May of 1865 the ladies of Appomattox met to from an association to preserve the graves of Confederate who were killed in the vicinity. On Dec. 1, 1866, eighteen Confederates (ten unknown) and one unknown Union Soldier were reinterred in what is now known as the United Daughters of the Confederacy Cemetery. Other Union Soldiers killed at Appomattox Court House were moved to the Poplar Grove National Cemetery near Petersburg. These Civil War Soldiers are buried within the boundaries of the Appomattox Court House National Histoical Park.

I can only assume that he was USA since he had a position at a National Cemetery that was begun with Union dead. He was Capt W Mackwood.... he was ordered to Fort Harrison Cemetery, near Richmond on 1/31/1885. Bill

I must say I have enjoyed the cause-Cause debate immensely. It was a tough war, the cause and the Cause were difficult to decipher then, and they still are. After reading the e-mails, the bibliographies, and my own extensive research, I conclude the cause was both all and none of the above. If there were not so many individual reasons for fighting perhaps the war would never have been fought. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Windico@aol.com> To: <CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 9:08 PM Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] Remarks.......... > I joined this list to learn.

You are correct Jim; He was paroled in 1865. Sometimes my fingers have a mind of there own and don't follow my brain. My Morgan family migrated from Rowan County, North Carolina.
