Author: Jimf4242 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.united-20-states.civwar.uscwoh.civilwar/689.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Gustav A. Wintzer enlisted in the 37th Ohio Volunteer Infantry on August 22, 1862 at age 23. The 37th OVI was a three year regiment which entered into federal service in October 1862 at Camp Dennison, Ohio and mustered out in August 1865 at Little Rock, Arkansas. He was the First Sargent of Company C and then promoted to second lieutenant of Company K in February 1862 and first lieutenant in December 1862. He was killed in action May 9, 1863 at Walnut Hill Mississippi while 37th was approaching Vicksburg. The Civil War draft wasn't instituted until 1863 and required the registration of all men between 20 and 45. So Gustav didn't enlisted as a draft substitute. However, a Charles Wintzer, age 21 (this may be an error since Gustave's brother would have been about 30 in 1863), is listed in the draft registration records for Auglaize County dated June, 1863. A Charles Wintzer of Wapakaneto, Ohio is listed in the 1890 Veterans Census as having served in the 189th Ohio Volunteer Infantry as a private, enlisting February 6, 1865 and discharged September 28, 1865 at Nashville. The 189th OVI was a one-year enlistment and served in the Huntsville Alabama area, mostly on guard duty. So it appears that his brother was subject to the draft and did serve in the war but probably as a volunteer, not a drafted soldier. Probably the best explanation of why Gustav enlisted is that he was single and a younger brother of Charles who was married and had children at the beginning of the war. At that point, regiments were seeking unmarried men and Gustav probably enlisted as a grand adventure and for the pay. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

What might have happened is that Gustav's August 1861 enlistment was for only a short period of time. (Remember, the war was supposed to be done by Christmas... ) Look at his service record to see if he re-enlisted as soon as his first enlistment was up; many men did not. He might have served as a substitute later for his brother and re-enlisted at that time. Or the family story could be a bit confused on the facts :-) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: Badge3323 Surnames: Miller Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.united-20-states.civwar.uscwoh.civilwar/687.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: If these two soldiers were killed in battle at Fort Wagner, the probability is high that their bodies are buried at Beaufort National Cemetery under markers that read "unknown," if they rest anywhere. After the battle, Confederate and Union forces agreed to a brief truce so that the deceased bodies littering the no-man's-land on the beach in front of the fort could be buried. The bodies promptly went into shallow beach graves not far from where they'd fallen, and naturally the sand was wet and airy ... far more so than the clay or loam soils into which most Civil War bodies were buried. As a result, the bodies on Morris Island decomposed very, very quickly. Due to the scheduled ending of the truce and the continued fighting that was likely to occur along the beach, to say nothing of a shortage of suitable wood, the Union soldiers who died in front of (or inside) Battery Wagner did not have wooden markers bearing their names placed at their graves (the most common way of marking a grave during the Civil War, if it was marked at all). And given the rapid decomposition at this particular site, names written or stitched into uniform waistbands and shirt collars by the soldiers before their deaths were also lost, as the biologically contaminated clothing decomposed almost as quickly as the bodies. Therefore, when Federal re-burial trams recovered the Union bodies after Charleston's fall, few (if any) identifications could be made. All of the bodies recovered from the sand at Battery Wagner were eventually moved to the Beaufort (SC) National Cemetery. It's also worth noting that during August 1863 Union forces dug zig-zag trenches from their lines toward the fort, in an effort to eventually cross the open sand area without having to run a gauntlet of Rebel artillery and small arms fire. Their intention was to proceed through the trenches under cover to an area just a few yards form the fort's walls, and then to spring from the trenches and storm the fort. During this digging project, some of the Union bodies from the mid-July battles were inadvertently unearthed by Union diggers and were found to be in a horrendous condition, despite having been dead only a matter of weeks. Skeletons had come apart and many of the bones had been scattered, if not by the surf and by scavenging seabirds, then by the Union army's digging program. As a result, the disturbed bodies never made it to Beaufort intact, and some probably never made it even in pieces. The trench digging, by the way, had its desired effect. When the trench was complete, the Confederates recognized that another Union attack was imminent and that this time, they would lose. So, during the night of September 6-7, the Rebels abandoned the fort. The Union attack scheduled for the next morning wasn't necessary, as the fort was empty. I checked the casualty lists included in the book "Battery Wagner" by Timothy Bradshaw, Jr., and they list Stephen Miller and a soldier named John J. Miller among the dead in Company C, 67th Ohio. However, the name of Tobias Miller does not appear. This doesn't mean Tobias didn't die in the July 18 attack on Battery Wagner, as additions to some of the lists in Mr. Bradshaw's book were made at later dates. So, it's likely those lists weren't fully accurate or complete, but you still might want to double-check your source about the date/details of Tobias' death. Finally, I also checked the US National Cemetery System's nationwide online database, and as expected, there were no soldiers named Stephen Miller, S Miller, Tobias Miler, or T Miller listed among Beaufort's burials.

I have attached a zoomed in copy of his name and the names of some of the surrounding people in this Census record. Honestly - I can go either way with this - George H. or George W. I have studied it, and noticed that the next family down is headed by a William Hunter - the enumerator's "W" and "H" look very similar - and, his "H" tends to have three large loops. The letter in between "George" and "Lenox" has but one small loop. The simple answer though is for me to search for more evidence on George Lenox. Thanks again for your response Lois!

Lenox, the son of John Lenox, of Auglaize, Ohio as another possibility for the George W. Lenox who was a musician in the 2nd Ohio Heavy Artillery - Company G. The George W. Lenox of Auglaize is a good match in terms of his name and middle initial and his birth date of 1847, which we see consistently in the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 Census records. The challenge though is that every record shows this George H. Lenox living in Auglaize, Ohio. Auglaize, Ohio is located near the border of Ohio and Indiana - which is 245 miles from Trumbull, Ohio. I originally found the reference to George W. Lenox and John W. Lenox in an 1882 book, "History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties" - which listed George W. Lenox and John W. Lenox of Company G of the 2nd Regiment, Ohio Heavy Artillery in the list of "volunteers from Trumbull and Mahoning Counties" As such, given George W. Lenox's consistent residence in Auglaize, Ohio (including the 1860 Census), it is highly unlikely that he would have moved 245 miles away to Trumbull County in 1863 (at the age of 16) and then joined the 2nd Ohio as a musician. And - the George and John Lenox of Trumbull in the 1850 and 1860 Census match up very well with the ages of the soldiers listed in the roster of Company G (George W. Lenox was 16 when he mustered in October of 1863, John W. Lenox was 18 when he mustered in July of 1863). In the 1850 Census, George Lenox of Trumbull was born in 1848 - in the 1860 Census, George was born in 1849. In the 1850 Census, John Lenox of Trumbull was born in 1845 (the same in the 1860 Census). But - given that the 1882 book was written a long time ago, I am going to search for multiple sources. I am following up to get more information on George W. Lenox and John W. Lenox (I ordered their compiled service records, and the Family History Library has a microfilm with a roster on the 2nd Regiment, Ohio Heavy Artillery - Company G).

Thanks for the response. Have you studied the family of Jacob Lenox? I will address the H. vs. W. in the 1850 Census question in another reply. I have checked before on the George H. Lenox who served in the 55th O.V.I. (Company C), as I also wondered if George H. of the 55th could have been the son of Jacob Lenox. George H. mustered in to the 55th as a substitute in 1864, at the age of 27. Thus, he was born in the late-1830s. George, the son of Jacob Lenox, was born in the late-1840s (Jacob Lenox married Jane Clark in Weathersfield, Trumbull, Ohio in 1845). Here is the entry for George H. Lenox in a 1904 book on the 55th Ohio called "Trials and Triumphs" by Hartwell Osbourne: Lenox, George. Age 27. E. S. 15 Oct. '64. 1 year; Private Co. C; substitute; captured 19 Nov. '64 near Madison, Ga.; died 29 Jan. ;65, in Rebel prison. Here is the entry for George H. Lenox in the Sons of Union Veterans gravesite database: "Substitute. Age at enlistment: 27. Captured 11/19/1864, near Madison, GA. Died of chronic diarrhea 1/29/1865 at Salisbury Prison, NC. Buried as unknown in Salisbury National Cemetery in NC." Based on this, I ruled out George, the son of Jacob Lenox in the 1850 and 1860 Census, as a possibility for this particular George H. Lenox. George, the son of Jacob, would have barely been 17 years old in October of 1864. George H. Lenox was married with a child when he mustered in to the 55th(to Mary Peasley, who filed a widows pension application in 1866, and his son, George H. Lenox, would later file a pension claim as the minor child of George H. Lenox in 1884). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
