The database provides name, rank, unit, and residence at enlistment. You can request them to send photocopies of the record, which provides much more information. http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/datcivil.html At least you'll have a list of possibles to work with. Some other sites that might be helpful: The Illinois Civil War Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/ Illinois in the Civil War http://www.illinoiscivilwar.org/ Dennis

I have a family story handed down to me that referrs to a relative of Hugh Curran of Chicago. Hugh was born about 1851. The story goes that his father/brother/uncle was a Civil War vet and that this vet had a statue of himself in uniform in a Chicago Cemetery. If anyone has info on a Civil War vet with the surname Curran, please let me know. Cordially, Dan Hogan

Good Afternoon, I was told that Ancestry.com has pension images available that you can get a copy of the actual file card with veteran information on it. The Civil War veteran I am searching for is JOHN J. DOOLAN. I was told that 2959 is the image number. He filed in New York. He was from Brooklyn or Manhattan, NY. If no one from this list can get information from the image number, could some one please tell me how I go about getting this information from off-line sources? Is there a NY State Archive office, or possibly NARA, that I can write to to get the Civil War file card with the information on it (Image No.2959). What would that address be and what would the fee be for that information? Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Doug Dooling

The first remains of a crewmember from the H. L. Hunley have been discovered. Archaeologists found what appear to be three ribs from the right side of a body in the sediment. The Hunley http://www.hunley.org/html/main_nav.htm Desoto Joe/The Record Man

I posted the list of US Catholic chaplains from this magazine last night. This particular issue was devoted to Irish during the ACW. Of course it's long out of print, but if you can somehow find a copy I think you'll enjoy it. The articles are: "Blue Gray and Green: The Fighting Irish" by Jack McCormack. Focus on Irish at Gettysburg. "Patrick Ronayne Cleburne: Southern Soldier-Citizen" by B. Franklin Cooling. A bio on General Cleburne. "The Irish Brigade Greets St. Patty's Day". Sidebar with sketches of what looks like the 1863 celebration. "The Ideal of a Soldier and a Gentleman" by Brian Bennett. A bio on Colonel Patrick Henry O'Rorke. "Their Faith Brings Them" by Ben Maryniak. Irish Catholics and their chaplains in the Federal Army. "It was Open, Defiant Rebellion" by Leo Ward. Irish miners in the Pennsylvania coal fields and the story of the Molly Maguires. "Virginia's Fighting Irish" by Kevin C. Ruffner. Story of the 1st Virginia Infantry Battalion. The regular column "I was There" is a letter from James McKay Rorty of Donegal to his father, dated 15 Nov 1861, explaining his motivation in becoming a lieutenant in the 14th New York Independent Battery. Dennis

I will look up civil war information in my library books for anyone who is interested. The list of books in my library are located at http://www.appalachian-genealogy.com/library_books.htm. Just email me and include the name, place etc.. and the time period. Sheila Hincy (Fluharty) Appalachian Heritage

Carolyn If he was born in 1859 he would have been 13 at the outbreak of the war. Not impossible he joined but, without further information to confirm, improbable. All I found were two Roughans who served Wisconsin a Charles from Grand Rapids and a William from Liberty. Mike

Does anyone know of a Joseph Roughan who served in the Civil War? I do not know where he enlisted, all I know is that he is buried in Davenport IA and his obit stated he was in the Civil War. He was born in Ireland in 1849. He worked in the Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island IL just across the river from Davenport. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Connie Robinson florene@lisco

Cassidy" wrote: > > Does anyone have information about the Civil War service of Luke > Cassidy, Irish born, settled in Adams, Berkshire County, MA in 1858? ------------------ Was unable to find him, even at http://www.massachusettscivilwar.com/default.asp Might be he joined the Regular Army. If so, I don't think you're going to find him anywhere on-line - not yet, anyway; eventually, the CW Soldiers and Sailors System will include these soldiers. What you can do is research the Register of Enlistments in the US Army. This is on microfilm, and is sorted by first letter of the surname and month/year of enlistment. Almost as much fun to go through as an unindexed census film. Anyway, the film numbers (NARA) you'd want are: M233-27 (covers 1859-1863, A-K) M233-29 (covers 1864-1865, A-K) I don't know if the FHL has these. I know you can rent them either through Heritage Quest or the NARA rental program, and maybe there's a library in your area that can get them. Dennis

What is that? ----------------- Bill, He was hoping to draw a pension (a monthly payment from the Government) based on service-connected disability. Once he was listed on the roll, he'd be able to collect the money. Dennis

My gg-grandfather who was wounded, discharged, and then reinlisted, after the Civil War applied for listing on the "invalid pension roll." What is that? He apparently withdrew his application and returned to Ireland. Thanks in advance. Cousin Bill

I thought that some list members might be interested in this biography of Col. Patrick Henry O'Rorke. He was one of the first Irishmen to attend West Point and graduated at the top of his class in 1861. He was killed while leading his troops on Little Round Top at Gettysburg. http://www.ororkebridge.com/Bio.htm A bridge under construction over the Genesee River in Rochester NY has been named for him.

Power who was in Company D, 95th PA Infantry - here he's carried as William A. POWERS - and enlisted 17 Sep 1861, mustered out 28 Sep 1864; he was later in Company F, 7th US Veteran Volunteer Infantry. He applied for an invalid pension in 1879. Wife Margaret applied for a widow's pension in 1919. The 95th was organized in Philadelphia and became part of the VI Corps, Army of the Potomac. The 7th was organized at Camp Stoneman at Washington from 25 Jan to 14 Apr 1865. As far as I know, the 16th NY Cavalry was the only military unit at JWB's capture, and I couldn't find a William Power listed. The kernel of truth might be he was present at the incarceration/trial/execution of the conspirators. Dennis

I am trying to locate Timothy Patrick Dacey who may have enlisted in Chicago..he was married to Ann Ryan and their daughter Alice Lavinia Dacey (who married Brant Thayer) was my g-grandmother. We are unable to find any information on Timothy Patrick Dacey but do know that he enlisted during the Civil War and believe it was in Chicago. His daughter Alice lived in an orphanage and at age 16 went to work for a family. She never spoke of her life in the orphanage except to tell my mother how hungry they were. Can anyone help in locating him? Would anyone know anything about the orphanages at that time perhaps in the Chicago area? It was thought that he might have worked on the canal.
