Samuel A. Richards was born in 1833 in Tennessee. I find him with his family in the 1850 and 1860 census of Hardin County TN. I suspect that he died during the Civil War. Would anyone know if Samuel had a military record? Thanks, David

I found on the 1860 census - Thomas Wm Sinnex w/wife Ann Maria in Rock Island County IL. I found Thomas W. Senex on the IL CW database @ http://www.ilsos.gov/genealogy/<http://www.ilsos.gov/genealogy/> and Thomas W. Senix on Ancestry CW database (along with other spellings). I think these are all the same individual.

Version 9.4 of the U.S. Civil War Units File (March 23, 2008) is now available. 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! If you have a listing in the file, please make sure it's still there, and send me an update if needed.

Mike, Thanks for the response. First I will start with two of John E. Sullivan's sons. Then maybe you will understand why I am asking about this one John E. Thomas Robert Sullivan, my ggf, and his brother, Jefferson L. Sullivan were both in the 7th Tenessee Infantry, Co. F. They were both discharged at the same time. John E. was also in the same Infantry, although Co. I. On the records I received from the Nat'l Archives it says very little as evidently he died shortly after joining. It has no information hardly at all, just that he died in the Battle of Mechanicsville in 1861. The records I have on Thomas and Jefferson have where they signed up, where they served at different places, etc. I also have the pension applications of both of them. However, the archives only sent me a couple of pay stubs and nothing else except a brief note on one that he died. He started out a private but ended up a sergeant, whether before or after his death, I have no idea. If he is my John! , he wo uld have been about 55 years of age, but I don't think there was an age restriction for the war, except for those too young. His wife at the time, his second wife, was Mary Martin Sullivan. He and his family are listed in the 1860 Rutherford Co., TN census and only his family is listed in the 1870 census including his wife, Mary. The John that died in the war was a Confederate as were his sons, if he is the right John E. The sons signed up in Nashville, TN and I was wondering if there might be more thorough records in TN that the archives do not have? Any help you can furnish would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am searching for more information, maybe some actual details, on John E. Sullivan who died in the Battle of Mechanicsville. I am trying to find out if this John E. is my gggf. I got his records from the Nat'l Archives and would like to know if there are other places that may have information on him in more detail. Would Tennessee have a more detailed place for information, like where he enlisted, etc.? Thank you. unicorn4176@comcast.net

Unicorn We may be able to help if we know a bit more about John E Sullivan. There were at least 900 John Sullivan's who fought in the North and 182 who fought for the South. Since you mention Tennessee and that you have his records and if he fought for TN there were 3 North and 25 South John Sullivan's. So the question is Union or Confederate, age, birth state, survived the war, pension applied for, which TN regiment? etc. The more we know the better a chance to help.

Bill Not sure of what Stryker" is but here is some information on the gentleman. He was appointed by governor as a Brigadier General from New Jersey but apparently never served and he does not appear in the HDS general's listings nor on the Soldiers and Sailors System. Here is a quote which states same: (http://lists9.rootsweb.com/mailman/admindb/civil-war) During the Civil War, New Jersey’s governor appointed Robeson a brigadier general, but Robeson saw no military action. He was named state attorney general in 1867; two years later, he became President Ulysses S. Grant’s secretary of the Navy, a post he held until the end of the Grant administration in 1877.
