Hellow all, I'm a new member to this group and enjoyed reading the postings thus far. I'm very interested in irish history and customs of the 19th century, mainly because I've traced my mother's family to the late 1800's. The surnames include Boyle, Bannon, Denning, Jackson, and White. The area where they come from is Cootehill, Co. Cavan, so I am interested in this area the most. I also do civil war reenacting and I portray an irish emmigrant soldier of the 19th century - so more knowledge of Ireland of that time helps here as well. Besides Sheridan and O'Rorke, does any one know of any soldiers - private, officers, union or confederate, who came from Co. Cavan and its vicinity in Ireland? I appretiate any help on this.

Came in from work tonight & my wife did a wonderful thing. She taped an episode of the Nova science series, on channel 9 (PBS) for me. It was titled "Lincoln's Secret Weapon" A report about the Monitor & the Navy raising the screw section of the craft. Check your local listings on the PBS station in your area & try to catch this, it was worth watching. Mine usually shows the episode a few times throughout the week at different time frames.

Second Installment: Thomas Byrne to John Carland To the list: I am conducting a major research project on Irish commissioned officers in the United States Army. I have been gathering information for this project for several years and have been very successful in gathering documents (like pension files and ACP files) that reveal the military lives of these officers. My focus is on commissioned officers that served between 1865 and 1898. There were just over 200 Irish officers in this group and almost all were veterans of the Civil War. I am anxious to collect additional information of a cultural or biographical nature to balance my manuscript and hope that some of you might share data beneficial to this project. For the next two weeks I will post the names of these officers along with their birthplace (town or county) in Ireland, if I know it, along with some data that regards their service in the U.S. Army. I thank everyone in advance for their patience while I solicit this information and hope that these messages will not burden or otherwise abuse the purpose of this list.

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. My sources are the following....... There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of some 13000 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. .I also wish to thank the patience of those regular subscribers for my frequent postings. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask. Please see my website which is dedicated to those who passed through the gates of Andersonville Kevin Please visit my homepage at http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html

Hello All: I just came across this in the premier issue of The Genealogy Newsletter: Canadians in the American Civil War Page http://members.tripod.com/PvtChurch/index.html I haven't checked it out yet, but have read that there were approximately 50,000 Canadian Irish who volunteered for the US Civil War. Regards - Carol Markillie California

I posed this question to them last night: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Why not put a searchable database of the names of enlisted personel. Illinois has this & it is extremely helpful. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ They sent this reply: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Your suggestion has been forwarded to the web design team for consideration. Ann Quinn Vance Reference Services - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Who knows, they just might do it. This would be extremely useful.

----- Original Message ----- From: Gwen R Wright <WRIGHTX2@prodigy.net> To: <CIVIL-WAR-IRISH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 25, 2000 9:18 PM Subject: [CIVIL-WAR-IRISH] McGuire Confederate info > I am searching for information on James Monroe McGuire. He served in Paulding County,GA in Freeman Infantry,Company C, 22nd Regiment for the entire war. I have been to the archives in Atlanta and found his service records, but I found nothing that gives any personal information. Does anyone know where I might look to find out if he was asked to supply "next-of-kin"?? His wife died before him, and there is no evidence of a pension being applied for.

I am searching for information on James Monroe McGuire. He served in Paulding County,GA in Freeman Infantry,Company C, 22nd Regiment for the entire war. I have been to the archives in Atlanta and found his service records, but I found nothing that gives any personal information. Does anyone know where I might look to find out if he was asked to supply "next-of-kin"?? His wife died before him, and there is no evidence of a pension being applied for. Thanks.........Gwen

One note on the records at NARA. If he served in two different units, NARA would have two different service records which would need to be ordered separately. They did not start compiling service records for officers in the regular army until 1863. If he or a survivor applied for a pension, there should be a single pension file at NARA. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis J.

Ida Here is the HDS data on your man. Note how the name is spelled if you send to the NARA for his records: Bartholomew Scanlon Residence not listed; Enlisted on 4/22/1861 as a Sergeant. On 4/22/1861 he mustered into "F" Co. PA 7th Infantry He was Mustered Out on 7/29/1861 at Harrisburg, PA Sources: History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-1865 I have searched the information I have on the Seveth PA and do not find his name. Perhaps sending for his records to the NARA will give the reason for his muster out so close after mustering in. He may have been transferred to a Regular Army assignment. On the other hand you may want to check this Confederate soldier out although it is highly unlikely they are the same because in 1860 there was a Bartholomew Scanlon living in Virginia and it is doubtful it is the same one: Bartholomew Scanlon Enlist Date Enlist Place Enlist Rank Enlist Age 22 June 1861 Priv Served Virginia Enlisted I Co. 33rd Inf Reg. VA Deserted on 01 November 1862 Source: The Virginia Regimental Histories Series Abbreviation: VA Roster C

My grandfathers name from PA and went to Nashville was Bartholomew Scanlan. He was a Capt Co M 7th Penn Calvary. Ida McDevitt

I have a great Grandfather that was a soldier in the Regular Army in Pittsburgh, PA. After 5 years in PA he was transferred to Nashville, TN to fight for the North. Where to you think I would use to get information on him. Ida Duggan McDevitt

First you're going to need to find out what regiment he served with. Once you do that, you'll then be ready to get his service record & perhaps a pension record, and start tracking his footsteps. In addition to what Joe sent: Resources at the Family History Library: http://www1.familysearch.org/sg/Tenness.html If you scroll down to Military Records and then Civil War, you'll see what resources are at the Family History Library. You can rent microfilm and microfiche through your local (hopefully) Family History Center (these are located at some LDS (Mormon) churches).
