Fellow listers: I was just sent a report about my great-uncle, Simeon Dugger, who died of his wounds in the Civil War. It is a medical report of Simeon's gunshot wound of the shoulder and is quite explicit. I am wondering if there is someone who is collecting this type of information about Macoupin Co. Civil War soldiers? Uncle Simeon Dugger was from Scottville and was a new recruit in the 101st Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He was fighting in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, GA when he was wounded. We believe his brother (Elvis Dugger) and 2 other friends(George and James Anderton from Franklin, IL) deserted and took Simeon to Nashville to the military hospital there, then returned to duty with their unit-- although this is an assumption on our part. If anyone knows more details about this we would certainly love to know more. Simeon worked on the farm of Isaac Owens prior to his enlistment in the 101st. He is buried in Scottville West Cemetery next to his mother, Dilly King Pritchett Dugger, and his two brothers Isaac and Elvis. Sincerely, Carol Dugger Rio Vista CA

Sounds like a good web site addition to me. But I found Simeon in the 10th mustered in Morgan Co. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/r050/010-b-in.htm You mentioned the 101st?
