Her one-sentence obit indicated she had several small children. Two of them were raised by family, and I suspect I have a trail on another one who ended up with a nearby family. (my GGrandfather moved to the city without the kids) Would there have been any formal records of adoptions at that time? I am both looking to understand the social history of the time, as well as potentially being able to find records of the children if at all possible.

My Sam Davenport lived in Schuylkill county PA. B. 16 Nov 1829 to Gerret and Litty D. 16 Dec 1884 Married Polly Lindner in 1850 He was a Civil War soldier. Here is what I know about his service: Regimental History PENNSYLVANIA ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY-THIRD INFANTRY (Nine Months) One Hundred and Seventy-third Infantry. - Col., Daniel Nagle; Lieut.-Col., Zaccur P. Boyer; Maj., Grant Weidman. Five companies of the 173d came from Schuylkill county, three from Lebanon one from Perry and one from Dauphin. It was a militia regiment mustered into the U. S. service at Harrisburg, in Oct. and Nov., 1862 for nine months, and left Camp Curtin for Washington on Nov. 30. It was then ordered to Norfolk, assigned to duty at Camp Veile near the city, where the winter was spent, and in May the regiment was ordered to provost duty in the city of Norfolk. On July 9, 1863, it started to join the main force in pursuit of Lee's army after Gettysburg. At Frederick, Md., it reported to Gen. Meade and was attached to the 1st brigade, 2nd division, 11th corps. After wearisome marching it was posted on duty along the Orange & Alexandria railroad, until Aug. 13, when it was ordered to Harrisburg, where it was mus- tered out on the 18th. He was in Company A. Enlisted as a Private on 1 November 1862. Enlisted in Company A, 173rd Infantry Regiment Pennsylvania on 1 Nov 1862. Mustered Out Company A, 173rd Infantry Regiment Pennsylvania on 17 Aug 1863. Organized at Harrisburg October and November, 1862. Left State for Washington, D.C., November 30; thence moved to Suffolk and Norfolk, Va. Attached to District of Norfolk, Va., 7th Corps, Dept. of Virginia, to July, 1863. 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, 11th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, to August, 1863. Companies A, D, F, G, and H, of this regiment, were from the county of Schuylkill, B, C, and I from Lebanon, E from Perry, and K from Dauphin. It was organized at Camp Curtin, during the months of October and November, with the following field officers: Daniel Nagle, of Schuylkill county, Colonel; Zaccur P. Boyer, of Schuylkill county, Lieutenant Colonel; Grant Weidman, of Lebanon county, Major. On the 30th of November, it moved to Washington, whence it was ordered to Suffolk, Virginia, but before reaching Fortress Monroe, its destination was changed to Norfolk. Upon its arrival there, it reported to General Veile, and was assigned to duty in guarding the approaches to the tow! n at Camp Veile, three miles out. Here the regiment was thoroughly drilled. Subsequently, two companies were stationed at Fort Norfolk, one at Kempsville, twelve miles distant, one at the intrenched lines, an officer and twenty men at Sewell's Point, a non-commissioned officer and twenty-five men at Camp Henry Light House, two companies at the David's Mill Bridge, a non-commissioned officer and six men for guard to the mail boat Arrow, running through the Albemarle Canal to Roanoke, a guard at the Indian Pole Bridge, a guard at Great Bridge, a guard at the Princess Anne Road, and a guard along Farmers' Creek. These detachments were regularly relieved at intervals of a week. Early in May, 1863, the regiment was ordered to Norfolk, for provost duty, where it remained until the 9th of July. It was then sent with the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania, to Washington, and thence to Frederick, Maryland, reporting to General Meade, who was moving in pursuit of the rebel ! army in its retreat from Gettysburg. It was immediately ordered to rep ort to General Howard, in command of the Eleventh Corps, and was assigned to the First Brigade of the Second Division, in which it was associated with the Twenty-seventh and Seventy-third Pennsylvania, One Hundred Thirty-fourth and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth New York regiments. It was now subjected to long and tedious marches, to which it was little accustomed, and was finally settled in duty to guard the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. On the 13th of August, its term of service having expired, it was ordered to Harrisburg, where, on the 18th, it was mustered out. SERVICE.--Guard, outpost and provost duty at Norfolk, Va., until July, 1863. Ordered to Washington, D. C., July 9; thence moved to Frederick, Md. Pursuit of Lee July 12-24.
