I can do you one that good or better. I am a Taylor, but it was my mothers father, my grandfather that fought in the Civil War, 1st Ky Cavalery. He was b. 1842 in Germany and came to this country in 1852 fought in the Civil War and died ik 1918 Pat

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.
