I am looking for information on the family of John TAYLOR and Margaret MITCHELL. He died between the 1870-1880 census and she died about 1893. I believe she may have been related to the Shadrach MITCHELL in the census records. John and Margaret (MITCHELL)TAYLOR lived many years in Washington Twp and she was in Franklin Twp in 1880 living with her daughter who was listed as her sister. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

May 28, 2007 Rows of New Markers, and Untold Sacrifice by Civil War Soldiers By GLENN COLLINS Conrad Joachim, a German immigrant, marched off to war from his home on Greenwich Street in Manhattan on May 13, 1862, enlisting as an assistant surgeon in the 15th New York Heavy Artillery. Charles Joachim, whom historians believe to be his son, had already joined the same unit. Four months later, Conrad was dead; and in another year, so was Charles, at about the age of 20. They were buried in the same grave at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, beneath a marble headstone that is an exquisitely carved open book inscribed with both their names. But the stone slowly sank into the earth as the centuries turned twice, and the cemetery and the city were completed around them. The Joachim family’s sacrifice may have been forever lost to history if not for a formidable labor of detective work involving hundreds of volunteers and lasting longer than the Civil War itself. Now the Joachims are among more than 1,200 Civil War soldiers with new gravestones at Green-Wood. And today, for the first time, the cemetery is honoring the full known complement of veterans of the country’s deadliest war. Dozens of veterans’ descendants, some from as far away as Spain, will be joined at 9 a.m. by volunteers and Civil War re-enactors for a public ceremony. There will be a parade, a color guard, a fife and drum corps, crashing salutes from an artillery battery and speeches of welcome and remembrance. Then, descendants and history lovers will read the names of the veterans. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/28/nyregion/28civil.html --------------------------------- You snooze, you lose.
