    1. [VAAMHERS-L] Biographical Sketches of a few Amherst men
    2. J.B.
    3. In the Amherst museum, I found a little booklet with some short biographical sketches of Amherst men, who apparently served in the Civil War. Most of the men were still living and the latest dates mentioned are 1880's/90's. The men's birthdates, parents, information on wives and children are included. I copied the following ones; if anyone is interested in any name I can type out the information and send it to the list. There were more- I can look for a surname next time I go if someone wishes. The men I have copies for: Robert M. BETHEL (married Izetta TURNER) Robert Meriwether BROWN, Jr (no wife listed) James William BURCH (married 1. Bettie A. TOMLIN then 2. Rhoda BURCH) Captain Abraham F. BURKS (got most of it- the end was on another page I didn't copy) (married Charity J. TOLER CAMDEN) Joseph F. CUNNINGHAM (married Laura E. RUCKER) Marshall R. CUNNINGHAM (married Sarah E. MILLNER) George H. DAMERON (married Mary E. MAGANN) J. Dudley DAVIS (married U. Virginia PERROW) Robert W. DAWSON (married Ida G. RAINE) Sidney M. DAWSON (married Narcissia HUDSON) Patrick Henry DRUMMOND (only got part of it- rest on another page I didn't copy) (married 1. Eliza BROCKMAN 2. Fannie E. KNIGHT) Benjamin R. WILLMER (already sent to list) (married Bettie T. TUCKER) Bradford T. WILLMER (already sent to list) (married 1. Dorothy NORTH 2. Eliza C. BROCKMAN) Alexander F. WILLS, M.D. (married Anna Virginia NORVALL) If any of these sketches can help someone, let me know! Janet
