(Source: Hinke and Weiser, Sources & Documents of the Penna.. Germans: Vol. 5, p. 37 and p. 48) Peter Schmidt/Smith later joined the Ephrata Cloisters in Lancaster County and was baptized there in 1748. Peter Smith remained what they called a "Householder", meaning that he remained married and lived outside of the Ephrata community on his own land. When Peter Smith moved to Rowan County, North Carolina he was an Elder of the Church of the Brethren or Dunkard faith. So far as I know, Peter Smith was the only member of his family who was baptized at Ephrata. Peter was baptized at Ephrata on 9 April 1748, and his son John was baptized at Muddy Creek Lutheran Church, East Cocalico Township on 19 June 1748. Some descendants of the Stephan Braun/Brown family are buried at the Union Lutheran Cemetery in Rowan County, leaving one to believe that the Braun family continued in their Lutheran faith after moving to North Carolina..

Peter Schmidt headed the Smith family and Stephen Braun headed the Brown family.

Betty, it has been a while since I studied this, but the 73rd Regiment NC Troops (4th Regiment Reserves) were "Senior Reserves" and not "Home Guard." Home Guards and Reserves are two different things. It is possible, particularly in that late stage of the war, that someone who was a "Home Guard" could have been mustered into a Reserve Regiment.

I have heard that there was a plan for a final/last volume of Clarke's NC Regiments research. I am interested in the Salisbury Home Guard, the 73rd Regiment (also known as the 4th Regiment).

I imagine as long as he had not commited any crimes, they would about have had to. You are talking about 30 years after the war. So the southerners had started to regain control of their governments. Look at all the southern cities (including Salisbury) that put up monuments to their Confederate dead about that time period also. Maybe I will check www.genealogybank.com and see if there are any biographical articles that were published about him at the time of his elections. But it would not shock me to find out that everyone knew of his families history in the Civil War. Now if she really was a conspirator in the Lincoln assassination, that may not have gone over well, because Lincoln would not have "punished" the south the way his sucessors did. Had Lincoln lived the south would have recovered much quicker than it did. Sorry, these people were not in my lines, but I just found the subject matter interesting.

Records show that Slater enlisted in Co. A 20th NC Infantry on July 23, 1864 in Salisbury. There are also documents that indicate Sarah was with him in Salisbury. He was sent to Virginia where he was captured April 6, 1865 which two days earlier Sarah had been sent on a mission by the Confederacy Secretary of War to go to Montreal to remove a cetain amount of gold from there and take to England. Sarah spoke fluent french as both her parents were from France and her father had been a french teacher. It mus have bee about this time ths Sarah became involved in spy business. Sarah was used as a courier back and forth to Washington, New York and Montreal. She was often seem in the home of Mary Surratt and was seen travelling in the company of John Surratt and John Wilks Booh. At the time of Lincoln's assassination Sarah and John Suratt were in New York and both! went to Canada. It is known that Surratt went from there to England. The war ended. John Surratt's mother was hung as being a part of the assassination plot. Both John and Sarah were wanted for questioning. Sarah disappeared and could never be found. PS the gold she went after also was gone. The authrorities believed she was the connection to the Confederate government being a part of the conspiricy. She could never be found to testify. The Pinkerton detectives search could not fine her. She was known to them as Mrs. Slater or sometimes refered to as the French Woman or the lady in the veil. She has been considered by some historians as the most mysterious, elusive and sucessful of the female Civil War spies. As for her husband I do not know what happend to him or if he ever saw or heard from his wife again. I do not know where he is buried Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
