Thanks, yes, I have seen that. Is there anyway to find out info about the military prison in Columbus, Ohio? ~Jean :-)

Hi! Where would I find info on my gg grandfather's twin brother--he served in the IL 13th Cav, Co. K. His name is George M. Kirk and he was sentenced to 6 months confinement in a military prison in Columbus, Ohio for a missing colts navy revolver. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~Jean :-)

M Gerdes, I'm redirecting your message to the mail list. You inadvertently sent it to the subscribe/unsubscribe address. Messages to the list should be directed to: IL-CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Subscription messages should be sent to: IL-CIVIL-WAR-L-request@ rootsweb.com All the best, Celia Looking for info on a Benjamin F. Carlton from Madison Co., IL recruited in 1863 in Alton, IL to 10th Cav Company C to Company F and last transferred to the 10th Reorg Cav Company M about July 1864 that might lead me info about if he or his family ever rec'd any pension or to where he might have been buried. Thank You M Gerdes

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your spirit. How do you like the site?: <A HREF="http://thehistorycalendar.com">TheHistoryCalendar.com</A> Does it work the way you'd like it to? Meanwhile, I think you and I have communicated about the 78th before! I've certainly read Phipps', Riley's and Coulter's name. A guy named Terry has been working for a while on a 78th reg. history, which I'd by in a heartbeat; I've walked the Mule Shoe are to Thomas's right at Chmauga a couple times, imagining what my gg gramps and his bro Thomas Gott, also of the 78th, were thinking. Let's keep in touch! Clay Feeter, Publisher <A HREF="http://thehistorycalendar.securedata.net/">TheHistoryCalendar.com dev. site</A> Grand "Opening" Sept. 5th, 2001 "History's Happening! Get Some."

Good luck with your project. I have three relatives in the 78th. John Riley, Joseph Phipps, and David Coulter joined Co K of the 78 from Keene. Phipps was a brother-in-law of Riley, being married to his sister, Rebecca Jane. The 78th, along with the 113th, 121st and 98th Ohio reiments made up Colonel Mithcell's Brigade. It along with Whitaker's Brigade allowed the Union army to retreat safely in September of 1863 at the battle of Chickamauga. That's where their general Thomas earned his name, "The Rock of Chickamauga". To make a long story short, Phipps was killed, Riley lost a leg, and Coulter survived the war to return to Adams County and marry the widow Phipps. They later moved to Missouri where Coulter became the guardian of his new wife's son by Joseph Phipps. He and Rebecca Jane had their own children and lived to a ripe old age.

Just found this database and don't know anything about it, but thought I'd share it with the list. Rhonda Illinois Civil War Veteran Database If you have an ancestor from Illinois who fought in the U.S. Civil War, you will be overjoyed to explore the Illinois Civil War Veterans database at the link below this tip. This database is comprised of the first eight volumes of the nine volume publication, "Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois." (The ninth volume lists veterans of Black Hawk, Mexican, and Spanish-American Wars.) This publication dates from 1900-1901 and contains information on about 250,000 veterans, organized into 175 regiments. You can search the veteran's database by name, unit, company, or place of residence. Results are presented including each of these fields. The history is a 536-page downloadable document provided in Adobe Acrobat .pdf file format, organized with an excellent table of contents allowing you to quickly locate, read, and print your ancestor's regimental history. Instructions for requesting documentation about a veteran from the Illinois State Archives is also included. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/datcivil.html

Thanks, Alice, for your reply to my query on Civil War musicians and the 34th Indiana Infantry. I'm still in the process of checking them out. Also, appreciated your interesting note about a female who served in the 34th. Thanks again.

Hi all! This web site was announced in another digest list that I receive. Thought I'd pass it on this to list. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/index.html Teresa http://www.geocities.com/tjbd

Craig Did you ever check to see if he collected a pension or applied for one, a spouse could have also applied for it. Good Luck Warren

I have the Civil War Pension file for John M. WILLIAMS, private, Co. G, Illinois 29th. This is, alas, not my John M. WILLIAMS. They lived in Gallatin and Hardin County, IL. (My John M. WILLIAMS was married to Maria) widow: Louisa children: Willaim D. Mary F. Jacob Marino Elizabeth Rachel Zachariah John A. Anyone interested in a copy of this file? Kathryne

Hello List, does anyone have any information on Isaac Patch, Jeremiah Patch, Comfort Morgan who all joined the war during the same time? Isaac Patch's father was also Isaac Patch who was in the War of 1812. Does anyone have any info on he and his wife Eleanor Harrington, he was born in MA and she was born in NY. Thanks for any response. BJ Chadwick

Hi Craig, I had nothing better to do tonight, so I did a little looking around for you. Civil War Pension Index Anderson A. Aler State Filed: Colorado Comments: Jennie A. Sta??y, Gdn.

List: I have been trying to find out what happened to my GG Uncle Pvt Anderson Aler, 107Th Ill Inf, Co F. Many veterans went to the "winds" after the war as "home" no longer offered them anything. I believe that is what happened to Anderson. The record shows that they mustered out at Salisbury, NC on June 21,1865. On June 23 they left for Camp Butler, Ill and arrived July 2, 1865 and received final payment and discharge. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might go to find out where he might have gone? He seems to have disappeared. Thanks Craig Ayler Aurora, CO Craig.Ayler@worldnet.att.net

Hi: This is unusual but, does anyone have any information on or the eulogy used on the burial of Union Soldiers during the war? Craig Ayler Aurora, CO Craig.Ayler@worldnet.att.net

Thanks, I am actually looking for a South Carolina reg.t.

Hi! This has nothing to do with the civil war, but where are some good places to go to find out about a relative who served in the war of 1812? Thanks for your help. ~Jean :-)

If you're looking for an Illinois soldier, there is a database just like the civil war database.
