Hello: I would appreciate any information anyone could provide on how I could access the Civil War records of my 2nd great-grandfather and his brother. Both were born in Christian County, KY. HENRY CLAIBORNE WEST b. 154 May 1835; md. Mildred Loving; d.29 Apr 1925 at the Mason's Home in Shelbyville, KY. Was living in MO at the time of the War and may have served on the Union side as a volunteer from IL. However he returned home to KY to marry in Bowling Green, KY on 3 Fen 1863 so his military service may not have been honorably completed. His brother, JOHN THOMAS WEST b.1 Feb 1838; md. Virginia "Jennie" Weathers 9 Oct 1866 in Elkton, Todd County, KY; d. 2 Jul 1919 in Bowling Green, Warren County, KY. Since he was imprisoned by the Union Forces in Camp Douglas near Chicago. IL, I believe he served in the Confederate Army. Any information or clues as to how I can obtain information about these men would be appreciated. Kindest regards, Judy Hughes [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 4:00 AM Subject: KYWBTSVETS-D Digest V05 #10
