You guys are very welcome. I aimed to include as many surnames of our list members as came to mind. Yes, Judi, I was remembering your GILLESPIEs, too! [There are tons of them in Orange County NY.] There were pages of Murphys, Kennedys and of course, Smiths, that missed my boat. A WORD TO THE WISE: If you want to cut and paste names from CW regimental rosters, you must proofread what you paste. The OCR lens changed Va. for Virginia into Ya, and also changed some numbers. I proofed every line...time for some other proof! CIVIL WAR ROSTERS of ALL REGIMENTS http://dmna.ny.gov/historic/reghist/civil/rosters/rostersinfantry.htm BTW at the tail end of doing this, I think I found the brother of my Dan from Kildare [arrived NYC age 12], dying at Andersonville. Some of our poor Irish were tormented in their own country, they came here to engage in battle and die, just 15 yrs later. They had guts!
