Macon is o.k. Believe me, Nancy, the computer is a little glitchy. The information that I need is the Civil War record for Macon, Georgia. Warren Anderson Mitchell, C.S.A., was serving, on duty, in the recruiting office, at Camp Watts (Camp of Instruction Number One), near Notasulga, Alabama, when he contracted pneumonia and died on November 20, 1862. This is according to the Confederate Widow's Pension Claim Number 3655, dated August 24, 1891, for Warren's widowed spouse, Mrs. Lucinda Christian Mitchell. I located the widow's pension claim at the Genealogy and Historical Room at the Washington Memorial Library in Macon. Warren Anderson Mitchell was a native of Jones County, Georgia. The widow's pension claim did not state any regimental history or company information. Furthermore, Clinton, Georgia, is where they lived during the Civil War. Lucinda Christian Mitchell survived the invasion of Clinton, Georgia, during General Sherman's March to the Sea. Clinton, Georgia, was an invasion wasn't it? What it means to me is that Warren Anderson Mitchell's records were either destroyed or buried. Buried records, for example, the Civil War records for Lucinda's brothers, of Jones County, were discovered in Macon, Georgia, in May of 1956, when a confederate monument was removed. Warren's records are very hard to find. I am looking at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in nearby Washington, D.C. There are about 2500 reels of CSA microfilm; I have looked through about a dozen. DUFFY RECORDS FOR JAMES AND CLINTON, GEORGIA Agnes Alberta Duffy McAuliffe was born near James, Georgia, in 1887 and died in Lanham-Seabrook, Maryland in 1975. She was my grandmother. She was the daughter of Thomas William Duffy and Ida Warren Mitchell Duffy (daughter and only child of Warren Anderson Mitchell and Lucinda Christian Mitchell). Thomas William Duffy is mentioned in the book "History of Jones County", he was also a State legislator in the early 1900s (two terms). The Mitchells are who they really are, and are descendents of Henry Mitchell, Revolutionary Soldier, of Surrey County, Virginia, and Jones County, Georgia. Following are the siblings of my grandmother, Agnes Alberta Duffy McAuliffe (all of whom were born near James). My mother, Margaret McAuliffe Hastings, was born in Macon, Georgia, 79 years ago, and currently lives in Lanham-Seabrook, Maryland. Aunt Rita Duffy Cain--married to Uncle Carl Cain. Believe me, Nancy, Uncle Carl was the sheriff of Macon, Georgia. Any politicians. Uncle Carl and Aunt Rita had five children. I have the names of four of the children: Carl Jr.; Betty (who was killed by a car accident); Paul; and Carol. Warren Duffy--died when a child. Margaret Duffy, also Maggie--died when a child. Thomas Duffy married Libby James, no children. Mary Ida (nickname, Ida May) Duffy Kingman married Robert Kingman of Macon, Georgia, and had two children, Thomas and Robert. Robert Kingman built a store and held licenses to the liquor industry in the State of Georgia. Robert Kingman is also mentioned in the "History of Jones County, as a state legislator (see Emmett Duffy). Emmett Duffy was a graduate of West Point and was serving in France during World War. He was injured in a German gas attack, by the gas itself, and also when his horse fell on him. For the rest of his life, Emmett had the use of one lung. Emmett Duffy is also mentioned in the "History of Jones County". After the death of Emmet's father, he went to live in Macon, Georgia, with the Kingmans. Sarah Duffy Jennings-married Frank Jennings and had four children. One child died at an early age. I have the names of two of the children: Mary Anne and Henry. Lois Duffy Stubbs--where are Warren's Civil War records? Lois married Abner Stubbs and had five children: Revel; Abner; Mary Ida, nickname Dolly; Celia; and Joseph. Do you see any Cain-Duffy relations in Macon, Georgia? Please say it to the Duffys. Rita Cain was very good to me. Thanking you sincerely, Terri Anne Hastings Average e-mail is o.k.: [email protected]
