I would like to than everyone who responded with great information about soldiers from Union County and Elizabeth who fought in the civil war. I am on vacation in florida and unfortunately I read my mail on my brother's computer who lives here and all of the great emails that I received were lost. I thought that they would automatically be saved in my email file just as if I were using my own computer. I would greatly appreciate it if those that sent me information could please resend the email to me so that I can save it. Thanks so much for the great response. Below is the original email message sent to the list. Thanks again, Rich My great-grandfather William McSweeney came from County Cork, Ireland to fight in the civil war. He and several other Irish men were paid to fight for the north. He stayed her for a year and then returned to Ireland. I am told that a picture of his company with him in it hung in the county courthouse in Elizabeth. Does anyone know of a civil war company from Union County. I would appreciate any information.
