The James Samuel which you list is a young nephew of the one which I am looking for... My James Samuel was the brother of Abraham who married Mary Coates...Abraham was killed-in-action and is buried in Sharon Cemetery in Jones County. Mary remarried a Holyfield. Following a family story, two brothers went to War...only one returned...This would fit Abraham and James Samuel, however their oldest brother Zachariah also went to War but was deemed too old and sent back as a home guard...(He was born in 1814). Zachariah's son Jessie was a member of the 7th MS Infantry at Vicksburg, captured and paroled at least twice...was making his way to his Unit in FL when the War ended. >From: Don Ott <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [CIVIL-WAR] J.S.

While researching at State Archives in Charleston, WV, I learned that Broadfoot Publishing has the 100 volume set of Supplement to the Army Official Records available. According to the Broadfoot website this set contains: "The greatest contribution to Civil War history since the OFFICIAL RECORDS." All the information left out of the original Official Records: reports "not located," not sent in by the Confederates, not sent in by the Union, correspondence, itineraries of the units, records of events. Arranged like the Official Records __ chronologically with entries by subject, etc. What Does the Supplement Contain? . * SOLDIERS: Names & Information __Twice as many names as does the original Official Records * PLACES: Names & Information __ Thousands of creeks, crossroads, ferries, fords, mills, etc. * RECORDS OF EVENTS & ITINERARIES: 299 reels of transcribed microfilm * OFFICIAL REPORTS: All the official reports, Union and Confederate, left out of the original publication * THE INDEX: 5 Vols. Over 1,000,000 entries! Every Name, Battle, Event, geographical location, etc. The Price - $5500. Too big a price for a researcher in West Virginia. Our State Archives doesn't have it either. Does anyone know who might have this set? West Virginia University, LIbrary of Virginia, Allen Co Public Library at Ft. Wayne, who????????????????? The index is 5 volumes and is over $500 by itself. And, is there anyone out there with access to it who could do some lookups for me? I think some of my answers to questions that I cannot resolve any other way might be there. Joy
