Reckon this HILDEBRAND is related to Daisy?

Jesse Hildebrand Deb, One of my ancesters, Lt. Col. Isaac B, Kinkead served under him at Shiloh and was his adjutant at Alton Prison. There were some very 'strange goings on at Alton that I have never gotten to the bottom of. I'd love to have whatever you have. Here is what I have: Col. Jesse Hildebrand, who, as commander the 77th Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the Battle of Shiloh and later Commanding Officer at Alton Military Prison, played an important role in the lives of the Kinkeads. His influence was the strongest with Isaac B. Kinkead. He was born 2 May 1800 on the Cornplanter Indian Reservation where his father, George, was the saw mill operator for Chief Cornplanter.[1] He was the 13th child of George and Mary Elizabeth (Kneisley) Hildebrand. After a brief sojourn in the Pittsburgh area the family moved to Fearing Township in Washington County about 1820. Jesse Hildebrand operated Stage Coaches from 1835 to 1860. One of the routes was between Marietta and Zanesville. He kept a journal of his employees, family, friends, etc., during that time. A Xerox copy of the journal is on file at the Washington County Historical Society.[2] Col. Jesse Hildebrand died while in command of the Federal Prison at Alton, Illinois, 18 April 1863. His body was brought back to Marietta for a hero's burial in Mound Cemetery. A monument was erected there. This was a tall monument with the insignia, a broken sword, left in full relief. The inscription is upon its spiral shaft reads: : "In honor of Col. Jesse Hildebrand, of the 77th Rgt. O. V. I. Born at Cold Springs, Indian Reservation, on the Allegheny river, May 29, 1800. Died in the service at Alton, Ill., April 18, 1863. A kind Husband and father, a patriot and soldier. His life was given that our nation might live. 'Lord thy will be done', his dying words." [1] CORNPLANTER (c.1736-1836) was a great war captain of the Seneca nation, a member of the Iroquois Confederacy. The American Revolution split this Confederacy, destroying its New York bulwark against the whites. Most of the Iroquois, including Cornplanter's tribe, sided with the British against the Americans. To eliminate any threat from the Senecas, the most powerful member of the Iroquois Confederacy, in 1779 General George Washington dispatched General John Sullivan, along with four thousand men, to lay waste and devastate the Iroquois homeland. During this invasion of Seneca territory, the only full-scale military engagement between the Senecas and U S. soldiers to take place in Yates County occurred at Kashong Creek. The devastation inflicted upon the Senecas, in terms of lives and property lost, was immense. Over forty villages were wiped out, and more than one-hundred and fifty thousand bushels of corn were destroyed, resulting in starvation for the survivors. Defeated, Cornplanter signed a treaty with the government ceding land to the United States. This disgraced him in the eyes of his people, but made him a favorite of whites, including Thomas Jefferson, with whom Cornplanter became friendly. Cornplanter was reputed to be about a hundred years old at the time of his death. - http://www.campcornplanter<http://www.campcornplanter/> com/chief.html [2] http://www.scioto.org/Washington/catalogs/catalog.html<http://www.scioto.org/Washington/catalogs/catalog.html> -------Original Message------- From: OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 01/25/04 13:46:38 To: OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [OHWASH] Col.
