Mary Jean, There is a Bernard Brown, disch. Nove 18, 1862. Is he a Brown of yours? Laura Reynolds Tyler [email protected]

Re Rev. Burleigh: I (Norman) seem to recall, as a child, my parents speaking of a Reverend Burleigh (Methodist) in the Thompson / Starrucca / Ararat area, and it is possible he may even have married them (1945). A relative perhaps? Re Civil War Monument: We are curious how it was decided in 1878 which names would appear on the Civil War Memorial, or is this listing just of those who died? Peter Dickey (d. 1835), who served in the Revolution, had two sons in War of 1812, and nine of his grandsons were in the Rebellion. We've thus far been able to document three -- Nelson (probably out of Clifford) in Co. F 3rd PA Reg. H. Art., William O. Doyle (probably Ararat) in Co. E, 177th PA V.I., and Theodore Doyle, PA Art. Peter is honored on a plaque at the courthouse, but what about these guys? (We're not whining, just curious!) N & E Dickey

I have a list of the men that served in the 4th PA Reserves Company H. They were mustered into service June 20, 1861 and mustered out June 24, 1864. In some of the cases it tells when they died or where. For example my gr-gr-grandfather Joseph L. Reynolds mustered out April 1863 or John W. Truesdale, tr. to 54th P.V. wd. July 18, 1864, at Snicker's Gap Va.; leg amputated; vet. This information came from the Centennial History of Susquehanna County, PA by Rhamanthus M. Stocker, 1887. Chapter XVIII deals with Susquehanna County in the War of the Rebellion, which was written and compiled by Capt. H.F. Beardsley. My brother requested a surname search on the surname "Reynolds", and this was one of a numberr of things copied from the collection of the Susquehanna County Historical Society for us. Laura (Reynolds) Tyler P.S. Mary Jean, thanks for all the wonderful help you have given this site, and to me in respect to our Reynolds/Wilmarth connection.

Chas. W.

At 12:15 PM 8/4/99 -0400, you wrote: > > There is a stone for Orin in Lenox, Susquehanna Co., Pa > > Tower Cemetery > (also known as West Lenox) Mary Jean, Thanks for the information. If it's ok with you, I'll list the information on my web page. I'll have to check, but I think I remember some information about Orin Tiffany in the 187th regimental history. When I get to PA next time, I'll have to get over there and take a photo of the tombstone. Sadly, I suspect that Orin Tiffany probably had the same fate as one of my uncles in Company G (Cornelius Frey). If one were killed outright on the battlefield, he was usually buried where he fell. If one were lucky enough to survive long enough to be carried to the rear before he expired, he was buried at City Point. Some even survived long enough to be taken to other hospitals (One cousin died a month later in Washington of wounds suffered that day; he is buried in Arlington). In 1866, they formed the U.S. Burial Corps, and combed a 50 square-mile area around Petersburg. The soldiers that had been buried where they fell were exhumed and re-interred at the newly-built Poplar Grove Cemetery southwest of Petersburg. Unfortunately, by that time, it was very difficult to identify the dead, which is why so many of them are "unknown" at Poplar Grove. I strongly suspect that Orin Tiffany is among those. As far as I know, the only identification that they carried was a note containing their names, pinned to their coats. With all the shot, cannister and musketry flying, it is doubtful that a piece of paper would have survived, let alone being buried for 2 years. I think one of the saddest facts (in addition to the fact that they were killed in the first place), is that so many men are "lost". Maybe we'll find a way to identify them in the future. It's fortunate that some of these men have the monument, and Orin has a tombstone, in order to be remembered. Heaven knows that what these men did, and what happened to them is worth remembering. Thanks, again. Tom Walters NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field Cleveland, OH

Several years ago I hired the Susquehanna Historical Society to trace the Filans In Susquehanna County. One of the items in their findings was that a Michael Filan came to Susquehanna County from Longford County, Ireland with four sons named Edward, John, William and Joseph. If anyone is willing I would appreciate some help regarding this item. Where was his point of entry and when did he come to Susquehanna County. Don Filan - North Carolina

Tom, I appreciated what you wrote about the soldiers who were buried where they fell. Charles W. Snyder of Lenox, Co. D, 50th PA Vol. was killed at the Battle of Wilderness at Spotsylvania, VA and is buried on the battlefield. His brother, Sylvester, with the same company died 4 days later of wounds received in that battle and is buried in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. They are both recognized on the Montrose Monument. We all need to do what we can to see that the memory of all the Civil War dead is upheld for future generations. Diana Snyder Luellen, Elmira, NY

Russel Phillips, Chauncy Price, David Price, Orville Ransom, Sylvester Snyder, Chas. W. snyder, Addison Stevens, Asa Thomas, Henry Tupper, Orin Tiffany, John Travis, Orance P. Whitney, Henry S. Whitting Researching: Brown, Tewksbury, Wilmarth, Tiffany, Tingley, Squires, Sterling all from Susquehanna Co., Pa. Mary Jean, I noted that there are a number of familiar names in your list. Two names that immediately jumped out were James Travis, and Orin Tiffany. I also note that you are researching the TIFFANY surname. I presume that Orin Tiffany is Orin C. Tiffany, who served in Company G, 187th PVI. James Travis, I believe, served in Company A, 187th PVI. Orin C. Tiffany (along with a number of my ancestors) was killed at Petersburg, Va on June 18, 1864, in an assault against Rive's Salient. The assault amounted to what was roughly the equivalent of Pickett's charge. The 187th was a part of Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's "Keystone Brigade", which comprised 6 Pennsylvania Regiments (Fifth Corps, First Division, First Brigade). Colonel Chamberlain was severely wounded in that assault, and was promoted to Brigadir General in the field by General Grant (on the expectation that Chamberlain would not survive - however, he did!). I maintain a web page (Bip.concept.se/user/187pvi) which contains information about the 187th. I have visited a number of national cemeteries (Arlington, Alexandria, City Point, and Poplar Grove), photographed the tombstones of the 187th soldiers, and posted them to the web page. There are a number of them, however, that I have not been able to find; Orin C. Tiffany is one of them. Do you know about Orin Tiffany?, and do you know if he might be buried in the Susquehanna County area? Likely, as not, he may have been buried where he fell, in Petersburg, but I thought I'd inquire anyway. According to the message following yours, the restoration of the monument is underway. Is there anything that we need to do to assure its completion. Thanks for all the wonderful things that you do. As do many others, I deeply appreciate it. Regards, Tom Walters

Lee, I assume they will accept contributions as well. Is there any published list of the names on the monument? Jim Conboy

I have just been informed the Monument presented to Monument Square in Montrose is getting in pretty sad shape. For all of those who have civil war soldiers listed on the monument, Please send a letter to the County Commissioner asking him to please see about repairing it. We need monuments not only because it is our heritage, but to show our descendants people were recognized for serving their country. This is the address, please flood their office so they will take the starting steps towards preservation. Thankyou, Mary Jean Williams Chairman: Lee Smith R.

I am also researching the Shelp line. Do you have church records for the marriage of Nancy Shelp to Charles Roberts? I think they would have married between 1845-1855. I think her father was a Nathaniel Shelp born in 1793. According to census records both shelps where bornin New York. I did not see a Charlotte Shelp living with Nathaniel Shelp, Christian Shelp or Henry Shelp in the 1870 census. Their may be more Shelps in the census though. This is the information I have about the Shelps who came to Sussquehanna county. This is from Commemorative Biographical Record of Northeastern Pennsylvania under a listing from Christopher C. Shelp: Christopher C. Shelp is a worthy representative of one of the most honored and highly esteemed old families of Susquehanna county. Pn the paternal sid e hsis of German origin, his great-grandfather, Christian Shelp, being a native of Germany who on coming to America at an early day took up his residence in Montgomery county, N.Y. He had three sons: Henry, Frederick and Christinan. The last named was gradnfather of our subject. He was born in Montgomery county, N.Y., and came to Susquehanna, PA in 1812 locating upon the farm where he now resides... He died in June 1825, aged sixty-five years, and his wife, who bore the maiden name of Jane Freeman, died February, 1841 aged 80 years, both being laid to rest in Fairhill cemetary. Their children were as follows: John married Abby WAlbridge;Nathaniel married Margaret Pettinggale; Christian was the father of our subject; Henry married Betsy Main; Stephen died unmarried; Elizabeth married Charles Davis; Sally married Proctor Risely; Jane married Andrew V. STout; Nancy married Henry Walbridge; and Catherine married Ezekiel Maine. All are now deceased. That is only part of the listing. A lot of the Shelp family moved to Susuqhanna county. My ancestor is Nathaniel Shelp. I know that Christian Shelp moved to Jessup township. I hope that helps you.

Would like to identify the father of Mary Halstead, b. Halstead, PA., who married Anthony E. Reynolds, b. 1822, son of Duty Reynolds, b. RI. Mary and Anthony were the parents of my grandfather, Melvin A. Reynolds, b. 1872 at Halstead, PA. My grandfather's obit said that both of his grandfathers were Baptist ministers. I can't find documentation of Duty being a minister. I know there were several ministers named Halstead but don't know which might have been Mary's father. Any news would be appreciated.
