Hello,   Just wanted to mention that my husband  and I visited the Acton Library last week and were able to walk around the very impressive  "Civil War Exhibit" they have.      The ancestor that I am most aware of who was a Civil War soldier was Joseph KIDDER of Calais, Maine.     His unit was sent to Florida to fight,  and they fought at Fort Fernandina.    "Joe" was seriously wounded while there, but survived to return to northern Maine.     It was said that he was shot through the shoulder, and the hole was large  enough to run a scarf through.      While at the Acton Library last week,  I was able to see an example of the "bullet" which went through my  great-great-grandfather's shoulder.      http://www.civilwar.org/150th-anniversary/     Betty                  (near Lowell, MA)     P.S.     I haven't mentioned my KIDDER line in a while:      James, John, Thomas, Joseph, Calvin,  Joseph "Calvin,"  Joseph,  George "Sanford,"  Clarissa.   The line went from Cambridge and Billerica, MA, to Chelmsford and Westford, MA,  up to New Ipswich and Temple, NH,  and up to  New Brunswick in 1784, and over to Calais, ME, in 1830,   then "Sanford" came down to Winchester, MA, .. and I ended up in Billerica in the 1960's -  never known that my KIDDER ancestor arrived in the town in 1650's and was one of the first settlers.   (Calvin KIDDER (1765-1799)  was not a Loyalist or Sympathizer.    Some have suggested he followed a girlfriend when her family was migrating to Canada.     They were part of the set of families from New Boston, NH.    He was 18 or 19 when he left NH.      His 2 brothers had fought in the American Revolution.    The older brother, Wilder, was a "famous and animated Fifer" in the War.    He lived a long life but no one knows where he died.       I'm finding out the younger brother, Joseph, Jr., probably was killed as a young teen while in Saratoga, NY.)
