I am so glad that I am not the only one. People do raise their eyebrows and question my sanity. This grandfather was b. 1842, came to America 1852, enlisted, fought, married in 1880 and my mother was the youngest child b. 1897 and I was born after she was in her 40's. So it is interesting how this stugg works. Pat

I would like to know where to find a Civil War roster to look for family members that might have fought in this war.

Anthony (b) 1841 (d) May 1862 They had on son William Anthony (b) 1862 2nd married Joseph K. Simmons (b) 1832 Marion County, Georgia (d) ? They had two children: Mattie Lula Simmons (b) Feb. 25,1864 Taylor County, Georgia (d) June 18, 1950 Crawford County, Georgia Mattie married Thomas Newton Kirksey and Lonnie Causby. John Asa Simmons (b) 1875 Taylor County, Georgia (d) Dec. 4, 1951 Crawford County, Georgia. Asa married a Bohler and Sophronia Jane Bloodworth.

Pat, When I read some rosters of Civil War soldiers, I was amazed at how many were immigrants. I wonder how many knew for sure what they were getting them selves in for. Don't forget that if it weren't for the help of the French Army and Navy, we might not have won our Rev. War. Also the 7th U S Cavalry that my ggrandfather belonged to had many foreign born soldiers. I am also amazed that anyone from Rhode Island went that far to fight indians. He was part indian himself and that puzzles me, but he may not have known that he was. He was the 2nd great grandson of an indian woman and an English American. In those days being part indian in New England was something to hide. He was in the Nez Perces, Cheyenne and Little Big Horn Campaigns.

This made me laugh! I am 58 years old and my Great Grandfather Walter O. Taylor was at the Battle of The Little Big Horn and survived. When I tell someone that, they think I have lost a generation or two. His son was Walter E. Taylor and his grandson was Walter O. Taylor (my dad). When you come from large families and you are the son of an older man who was also the son of an older man, it takes less generations to get beck as far as people might think.

Hello, I am new to the list. I am looking for the line of William Taylor, b. 1819 in Ga. He moved to Montgomery, Ala. He died in La. between 1860 and 1870. He was married to Rebecca Collins, born in either North or South Carolina abt. 1814. Their children were as follows; William, Marge, John, Elizabeth, Rachel, Melissa, Elias, and James. These names vary slightly in the census records. I suspect sometimes they used their middle names interchangeably with their first names. Thanks for any help you can give. Jane

One, two, three hundred years ago, I think one of the major occupations was that of Soldier. When you are poor and hungry; maybe being given a uniform, some food, a gun or sword, and being told to march here and there in a group, being lined up as in a game (football ?, soccer ?, anyone?) and told to march toward or against this other group (with different colored uniforms, a different banner (flag). Guns may be fired, swords may strike, men may die, or men may be wounded; but you did it as a group. Prehaps it wasn't so personal, or the rewards of sharing in the plunder (loot), maybe that made it all less horrible. [Have I seen too many old Hollowood (sp?) movies from the 1940's?] Wasn't it the British who were so puzzled by the fighting style we had learned from the Indians. Hide behind a bush and don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes. Now that was more personal. But you weren't just fighting for some King or Prince, you were fighting for yourselves. And you had plans and dreams for yourself! Now, the Civil War, that was sad, and that was bloody and that was personal to those already here. To the immigrants maybe it was more like the earlier times, they had no hopes in the old country, America was the land of opportunity and dreams. So, they came not just for war and the shedding of blood, but for something new, maybe an opportunity.
