Am looking for death info for John and Fanny Gorman. I know John was alive till 1820 in Botetourt County Virgina and Fany was still alive in 1830 in Adams County Ohio (Franklin Township). I believe John and Fanny moved to Adams county. Would like to know if there is a listing for them in the cemetery records. Any help would be greatly appreciated. George

Hi everyone, I have updated my website, "The Driver Family Historical Society". Updates include 2 pages of photo's of the Ailshire's of Adams County, including pic's of Ailshire relitives I'm still trying to identify. I have also added more information to the Ailshire/Aleshire pages. If you have any Ailshires or Polly's or Blythe's or Boone's from Adams County in your lines, would love to hear from you. Thanks, Pauli Driver Smith http://tdcweb.com/tdfhs

Hello, I'm just starting to look for information on the BARNES family. Would anyone have information on a William BARNES? He married Cora Chamblin who was born Sept. 11, 1887 and died Jan. 16, 1964. I do not have dates on William or have his parents names. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Janet

The following came from Civil War Archives maintained by Chris Volker cvolker@primenet.com (Chris Volker) Thank you Chris for sharing this THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1926. WITH THE 60TH OHIO AROUND PETERSBURG In the Campaign of 1864-65, Under Grant, From the Wilderness To the Fall of Lee Scenes and Incidents Around Petersburg - The Terrible Fighting and Attack on Fort Stedman. First to Enter Petersburg and Place Flag on Courthouse. The Surrender. By HEZEKIAH BRADDS, Co. C, 60th Ohio, Morrisville, Mo. I was born in Rockbridge County, Va., in 1847; was reared in Green County, Ohio, until February, 1864. I volunteered in Co. C., 60th Ohio, Ninth Corps, First Division, Second Brigade. I reckon I was a decent boy. I never was arrested or paid a fine in my life. I was reared in a nice Quaker neighborhood, and it is that same Holy Spirit that guides and cares for me today. My life has not been without its struggles, especially during my service in the Civil War. Today I carry two sacred medals for my services in that great conflict. Very few know about the great forts, breastworks, pits, and ditches that were made around Petersburg and Richmond. Only those that were there know very much about these great works and about the struggles and trials. Most of my service was around Petersburg, and I am one of those who helped to place our colors on the Courthouse in Petersburg April 2, 1865. I went into camp at Washington City and drilled there until May, 1864. We then began a forced march to the Battle of the Wilderness, 40 miles or more away. Many of our strong men fell by the roadside during this march. I was just a boy and trotted along. There were battles in that country, known as the Wilderness, the 6th and 7th of May, 1864 - many, many battles. I will drop these battles, for their desperateness can never be told. Most of my service was around Petersburg, where there was much hard work for us to do. A Hard March There we made videt pits, dug ditches, and made bombproofs. One time we marched to Blackwater, N. C., to relieve the Fifth Corps. This march was almost as bad as a battle. It was a dark, fierce night. It was raining, freezing, and snowing. We were all cold thru and thru. In fact, we had waited all day in the cold, expecting to charge their works. Instead we had to make this march. We marched in the rain and mud. The rain turned to snow and many of our boys had their feet frozen. However, we arrived safe back to our works, near the Appomattox River, to await results. We did "relieve" a Virginia regiment. They were continually firing. I called to them to know why they were wasting so much good ammunition. Then I told them that the 60th Ohio had moved in. They then said they would not shoot if we would not. A glad cry went up along the lines, and there was peace and quiet for some time after that. We exchanged coffee with them for some tobacco and papers. Our boys met theirs halfway between the lines. But this, of course, was an "unofficial" truce, and when the old cannon began to roar we all thought best to hunt our holes. The old "Goose Neck", (that was the name we had given to an old cannon) stood in a fort across the river. It shot both shell and canister. I was the boy that caused peace at times. The second time, our boys were swimming with theirs. Some of their boys swam across the river and never went back. These boys had to keep their heads down for safety. At Pegram's Farm. Another time we marched to battle south of Petersburg to the Weldon Railroad. Such desperateness as this battle was never seen. How quick a forest can be slashed in battle, and for a battle! Another time, near Poplar Grove Church, near Pegram's Farm quite an incident happened to me. Our regiment marched over Pegram's Farm. We swung into line. The balls were flying fast. The right of our line was on higher ground than the other part. Orders came: "Every fellow down, right of line!". When they could see they raised up, fired and ran. Our Captain yelled, "Every fellow for himself!" Must be hellish good marksmen or kill our own men, we were so mixed up. Captain Eddie and I didn't know what had taken place. I rolled over in a ditch and stayed there until a heavy line of cavalry drew near me. I was thinking of Andersonville Prison. They had taken our skirmish line. I arose and made a run for it, and I outran them. I got into the timber after jumping two fences, getting three bullet holes in my clothes. I also had my cap tilted to one side by a ball, and the third time it was shot off for good. My canteen was cut off and the point of my bayonet scabbard was hit by bullets. They came fast. Night was coming on. It rained all night and next day. We built breastworks and I was put on picket duty that night. Oh, how dead for sleep I was! The next morning, with half a cup of coffee, I was put on skirmish line and advanced over the same ground to were our skirmish line had been taken two days before, and there halted behind a tree. I remained there that day, and a great fort was built that day on Pegram's Farm, on a good site. I had been without a bite to eat for four days and nights - our rations from City Point had not arrived in time. So the forced march did not come for this occasion until arriving back to the old stand, Appomattox River, in the works in front of Petersburg to await results of next move. I want to mention here that three of us boys were in a tent on top of the earthworks - Phillip Smith, Wilson, Penewate, and myself. Penewate could not see after night to do much good, so I often did his duty for him. We got back to camp with only the loss of Phillip Smith's right forefinger tip. That was done at Fort Stedman, Gen. Lee's last attempt to break our lines, and which he did for a time. Now, most of our tents stood a little north of Fort Stedman, on a higher ground than the fort. There were many blazing shells bursting over us. I counted 11 shells going thru the air at once. I could see the sputtering fuses. That was March 25, 1865. Early that morning I was the first to give alarm, "Johnnies in our works!" They (the Johnnies) had taken about all of the 14th N. Y. regiment and had gotten all there were in the videt pits. They had also entered Fort Stedman. I had chosen a place between two flankers. I ran to place and Sergt. Bulin furnished me with cartridges- -tossed them at my feet. Not a Johnnie got north of Fort Stedman. Five hundred of their bravest men were picked to take Romer's Battery, nearly a mile away on a hill, but they failed, for a Pennsylvanian regiment moved into the fort, and when their force came they were badly worsted and retreated. Lee's reinforcement did not arrive in time and the retreating force was passing back, getting over our works. Their reinforcements arrived and the situation looked desperate to me. A General on a gray horse got over their works and came in full tilt, waving sword to stop the fleeing force. At pull of trigger and crack of gun he fell. He always bore on my mind. That pull of trigger and crack of gun saved many lives - maybe 10,000. Their reinforcements hadn't arrived in time. I was in plain sight of all reinforcements and of the fleeing rebels. There were many carried off the field, and my last shot was necessary there. I then went down into Fort Stedman and found two Johnnies there badly wounded and inquiring what we were going to do with them. I consoled them the best I could. Our colors and our flag were still waving over the fort. I said, "Don't you like our colors better than your own?" They said, "we are not talking now." Soon others began to arrive. Dead and wounded were carried off the field. Did I or many others that arrived home safe ever think of being killed while in the Army? I say, how often accidents happened in those days. Once I was standing on top of our works behind some sandbags watching for a charge of the enemy, when a shell dropped under me, making the dirt fly. I lunged forward. The shell did not burst, or this would never have been written. Wish I could forget many, many dread sights that I saw around Petersburg. Even while on dress parade having our guns inspected, looking down we could see legs and arms sticking out of the ground, where they were buried in shallow graves. What Gen. Sherman said about war is true; it is "hell!". Now I begin to close my incidents of use of gun. Early in the morning of the night of April 1, 1865, I was detailed on picket duty in a videt pit, one I was never in before. It was north of Fort Stedman and at the right of the railroad cut. There was no relief coming, so I was serving thribble time or more. Near day, hearing a racket down toward the Appomattox River, I left the pit and ran for our main lines. I didn't see a living soul there, so I started toward Fort Stedman. Our General, seeing me said, "Go back! Our boys are charging their works!" Running back, I had gotten about halfway to them when a canister roared - "koo-bum!" Jumping on our works, I was so close I fired. They got one more shot, but I got in three; then they rolled back. Joseph Wilson, an old schoolmate of mine, hung on the abatis riddled. One of our Sergeants had both legs and arms off. He was carried on a stretcher. After making three shots and turning around I saw his stretcher was set down. I noticed a ring on one of his fingers. He told the boys to take this ring and send it to his wife. This charge was to draw their fire so we could estimate their force from their right and our left, where our army was massed. There stood their main fort. Though we charged and charged again, their main fort stood. Their main fort was charged seven times. We finally took and held their main fort. There were two of these forts in front of Petersburg. One was called "Fort Damnation" by our boys. When the other fort was taken, guns and cannons were placed around "Fort Damnation," which was believed to be tunneled. The Johnnies would not believe that Lee had gone; but he had left Petersburg. With two others I carried our colors and placed them on the Courthouse in town April 2, 1865. There a Johnnie placed our colors, the second one, on the Courthouse, and I guarded his store until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. After that we marched after Lee down southeast of Petersburg, and got orders to keep an eye on about 500 officers until paroled. Then we made to march to City Point - but this was no forced march. Later we were convoyed to Washington City, and after the Grand Review there I did guard duty at the old Capitol Prison. I was on guard duty at the arsenal and fort where the Lincoln conspirators were hung. I was relieved of guard about five or ten minutes before they were hung. Why were we permitted to arrive home safe? I believe it was because of many faithful prayers at home. Both of my comrades are gone long ago. These are the engagements I was in 1864: Wilderness, May 6 and 7; Nye River, May 9 and 10; Spotsylvania, May 12; North Anna River, May 25; Bethesda Church, Va., June 1; Shady Grove Church, Va., June 1; Cold Harbor, June 3, 5, and 6; Gaines Mill, Va.,; before Petersburg, June 17 and 18; Weldon Railroad, Aug. 19; Yellow House, Va., Aug. 21; Poplar Grove Church, Sept. 30; Pegram Farm, Va., Sept. 30; Hatchers Run, Oct. 27; and at Fort Stedman, March 25, 1865. I don't think it is just or right to let any old soldier and family exist on $50 a month while our President and Congressmen draw such high salaries. Yet, if I were able, I would fight for the same cause again.

Hi All. I wonder if anyone knows anything about the Mail Order Brides. My grandmother was one. My grandfather answered her ad. He moved from PA, married her an lived the rest of his life in Ohio. Does anyone know where someone advertised in the late 1800's for a spouse in Ohio? Sharon

I am 75 years old this month. This means that I knew members of my Cook = family who were born in the 1860's and 1870's. These people, in turn, had= known or knew of Cooks who were born in the early 1800's and before. Man= y bits and pieces of information were carried down by these folk. Seldom = was it complete. I have canvassed other Cook cousins, some of them older = than I. When you have collected enough of these fragmental clues plus a k= nowledge of national and local histories some logical conclusions can be = reached. I hope that some Cook somewhere might find a clue in the followi= ng that will fit with a clue that they already possess. 1. The patriarch of my Cook family is Hans (Koch) Cook. He arrived at Phi= ladelphia on May 30, 1741 on the Francis and Ann. Listed with him is his = apparently oldest son, George Adam Koch. I'm sure that there were more ch= ildren but anyone less than 16 years of age or female was ignored. I beli= eve that they stayed in Philadelphia several years working as indentured = labor to pay for their ship passage. They were illiterate, signing with t= he mark of the cross. - Pennsylvania Archives and works by I. Daniel Rupp= and Ralph Beaver Strassburger, LL.D. 2. George Adam Cook (spelling of surname was changed very early) settled = in what is now Franklin County, PA. This is one of the counties important= to the Cooks. This branch became very large, very prosperous, many busin= esses including LUMBER, much property. - "History of Franklin County, PA"= , Warner, Beers & Co., 1887. Hans Cook is not mentioned. He and the rest = of his family had crossed the Maryland panhandle and moved on down into V= irginia Colony in the Shenandoe where there was a large group of other Ge= rmans, prospering. In his youthful days as a surveyor, George Washington = discovered these Germans. Some would probably follow him and later follow= General Braddock to the area that would become Pittsburgh, PA. These wer= e unsuccessful military efforts by the Virginians and the English crown. = The Indians armed by the French were much too effective. = 3. In the early 1760's,leaving some of his family in the Shenandoah Valle= y, Hans Cook (full name Johann Georg Koch) along with several other Virgi= nia white families made their own personal arrangements with the Indians = and settled in what is now Fayette County, PA. Quaker Pennsylvania threat= ened these Virginians with death without benefit of clergy. Hans Cook is = on the list. Virginia Colony had established three counties in what is no= w southwestern Pennsylvania - Nelson's "Historical Reference Book of Faye= tte County, PA". These whites were outnumbered by the Indians by about 1= 00 to 1 but lived with them successfuly. I don't really know what happene= d to Hans. 4. One of Han's sons, Jeremiah Cook, Sr., my 4th great grandfather, moved= up on Crooked Creek in Armstrong County, PA in 1769. - "Armstrong County= , PA, Her People, Past and Present" by J. H. Beers and Co. = One of Jeremiah's sons, George Cook, is my 3rd great grandfather. Having= grown up among the Shawnees, George knew them well and spoke their langu= age as well as his own German. George Cook became an Indian trader since = trading was the primary occupation in the area. There was no way to get f= arm produce to any market. = 5. George Cook's trading trips would repeatedly take him back the Braddoc= k Road toward Franklin County, PA, down the Great Buffalo Trail through t= he Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, through the Cumberland Gap, up the Warr= ior Trail across Kentucky which was still Virginia Colony at that time an= d then north, across the Ohio River where the Shawnees allowed no ordinar= y white man to survive. In 1773, George Cook acquired Olithi, a Shawnee g= irl who became my 3rd great grandmother. She came from a Maukajay summer = camp on Lower Twin Creek, in what is now Adams County, Ohio. On September= 17, 1774, Conrad Cook, my great-great grandfather was born in the Fort P= itt area (Pittsburgh, PA). George Cook and Olithi would have been a conne= cting influence for the scattered Cooks. Family tradition says that Georg= e traveled among the Indians, anywhere he wanted, any time he wanted. He = was trusted. He had a Shawnee family. 6. During the Revolutionary War, George Cook served as a scout and soldie= r. The Americans feared the Indians who had twice delivered great defeats= on Virginia troops and the military of the English crown. George underst= ood the Indians well. - Armstrong County, PA, Her People, Past and Presen= t" page 132. There are several George Cooks in the war records. I have ne= ver been able to identify my George Cook. = 7. I believe that there were Cooks from Franklin County, PA who went up t= o Armstrong County, PA. It is likely that these would include the LUMBER = business descendants of George Adam Cook. I know that one of George Adam= Cook's daughters, Anna Maria Margaret Cook George died in Armstrong Cou= nty in 1842. 8. The Cooks are of German origin. Do not be fooled by the English spelli= ng of the name. George Cook finished out his days in Adams County, Ohio. = There were Cooks from Armstrong County, PA and Shenandoah County, Virgini= a, who followed George to Adams County, Ohio. At the time of the first ce= nsus in 1790, I believe that George and Olithi were living in Franklin Co= unty, PA. 9. I only recently heard of Cook Forest. My George Cook was apparently go= ne before this became a big thing. However, I believe that it is likely t= hat the Cooks of Cook Forest might well be found to have come from the Fr= anklin County, PA branch of the family. = Jesse W.
