Greetings. I am researching my ancestor, Daniel Nelson Freeman, who enlisted in F Co., of the Illinois 130th Volunteer Infantry soon after the outbreak of the Civil War. He was captured at the Battle of Sabine Cross Roads and served as a POW at Camp Ford in Tyler TX. Through the Illinois State Archives, I have found a copy of the original muster roll for his company plus I have his pension papers from the National Archives. I was wondering, though, if anyone was aware of published accounts of the 130th? Diaries, narratives, whatever? Thank you Jill

Jill, Are you aware of this site? http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/index.htm It has all the rosters, Adjutant Generals report and Dyers Regimental History. Just click on the regiment you want.

Warren, Yes, there were several enlistment requirements: Over 4 ft. 11 in.; under 6 ft. 6 in.; must have front teeth; must not be a drunkard; must have no venereal diseases. Front teeth requirement was so that man could bite open a black powder container for a rifle-musket. Tom Pearson

Warren; Yes, I do! My g g grandfather Frederick Becker of Geneseo, Henry, IL was turned down because he was too short......5'. He was a baker by trade, and thus was hired to bake the bread at the Confederate Prison on the Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, IL. Mikki Judge Family Historian - Preserving the past for the future.

Do you know if any one was turned down for service in the civil war for being to short. Warren

Regarding what prison, my guess would be that he was not taken to a prison but paroled and probably went or was sent, the first time, to Camp Chase, Ohio (Columbus) which, among other things, was a holding place for paroled Union soldiers. It is also possible that he would have been sent there the second time, also, but by then there were numerous small locations that were used in much the same manner. Sorry this probably does not help a lot.

I have a ROBERT B.FOGLE in the 45 IL US INF REC Co.C from Galena,JoDaviess Co.,IL served:12-28-1861~116-1862 He was taken prisoner after being in the battles of Ft.Donaldson and Pittsburgh Landing. Can anyone help/assist me in trying to locate the prison he was taken to? He is listed with the Civil War Veterans Schedual 1990 in Preston Co.,WV Portland District Microfilm Page 4 Sue Fogle/Sisk suesisk@yahoo.com

I am looking for any diaries or letters of men who served in either the 19th or 24th Volunteer Regiments. Mike Strelka (Brig-Gen J.B. Turchin) Arlington Heights, IL

Eva, I don't know anything about the monument, but the name on it has to be William C. Seidel. You should go to this site and enter the name "Seidel" http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/genealogy/civilwar.html You will find three Seidels.

Seidel is listed as above, enlisted Jun 18, 1864, Mustered out Oct 29, 1864 The One Hundred and Fortieth Infantry was organized at Camp Butler, June 18, 1864, and mustered into the United States Service on that date and on the same day left by rail for Cairo; thence by boat for Memphis. >From Memphis it marched to White River, a distance of thirty miles east, and was there formed into divisions and placed at different points along the line of the railroad between there and Holly Springs. It remained there about three months guarding the railroad, after which it moved to Memphis and did guard duty until ordered to Camp Fry, Chicago, for muster out, which occurred October 29, 1864. After having given up their arms they were solicited by Adjutant General Fuller to re-organize and march through Missouri in pursuit of General Price, which they did. This trip occupied about 6 weeks, when the Regiment returned to Camp Fry, and was finally dismissed after serving about 5 months.

If there really is a Civil War memorial stone there in the park, would some one please look for my g-grandfathers name, Andrew Jackson Jones. He mustered in from Sterling Illinois.

Researching: Sons of JOHN GOTTLIEB SEIDEL. I've been told by a third cousin that there is a Civil War Memorial in Central Park in Sterling, Illinois, that lists the names of local men who served in the Civil War. One of the sons of John Gottlieb Seidel is listed there. Does anyone live in Sterling near enough to Central Park where they could take a look and tell me which one it is? Or does someone have access to a list of names of men who served from Illinois? I find it interesting that he volunteered as the family story is that this family left Germany because of the military service required of the sons. The sons are : Gottlieb Ludwig Seidel Christoph Frederick Seidel Charles Gottlieb Seidel William Christian Seidel John Gottlieb Joshus Seidel Other sons that would probably have been too young: Christoph Caleb Seidel Gottlieb Mathew Seidel John George Seidel Thanks for your help.

Dan was born in 1831 in NJ and Joseph in 1838 in Hancock Co, Il. Joseph was killed in Wilmington, NC in March 1865.
