Barb, Thank you ever so much, I really appreciate this information. This clears up several mistakes and misunderstandings others have had. Someone thought Bailey Carter died in Oct 3, 1803. But I have found him on the tax records until early 1811. So this helps tremendously. Thanks, Kathy Wells. At 04:35 PM 07/16/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Does anyone have access to the "Franklin Co, Va.

Rose: Thank you for your reply to my "Peters Family in the Civil War" posting. I hope you are doing well. I'll will preface my response in the manner that you ended yours. I mean no disrespect. Let me try & explain my feelings on the conflict I chose to call the War Between the States. (Thank you Pat Wood!) I did not or do not call it The War of Northern Aggression. That's a term I heard about 2 years ago from a cousin who is also a Franklin County researcher. I chose to include the "War of Northern Aggression" moniker because the relatives I mentioned in the posting fought on the side of the Confederate States of America. I am sure they saw the war that way. I do not have a degree in American History. But I believe that this war was fought over the rights of States vs. the rights of the Federal Government. It was a case of the Southern States not liking "Big Brother" telling them what they could & could not do. Some have said that the war was fought over slavery. I don't know if I agree with that take. If that was the case, then why did President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, that became law on January 1, 1863, only free slaves living in states that had seceded while leaving slavery untouched in the Union loyal border states. And why did Lincoln wait until 1863 almost two full years after the first battle of the war, Fort Sumter, to do this. I also understand why this war is called the "Civil War." Civil in this situation means "of or occurring within the state" as in civil disobedience. I also understand that this disobedience had to be put down, could not be tolerated by the federal government. Another definition of civil is "not rude; marked by satisfactory (or especially minimal) adherence to social usages & sufficient but not noteworthy consideration for others." The Geneva Conventions of 1906 & 1949 tried to give war a set of rules & make those playing it adhere to certain principles while displaying "sufficient, but not necessarily noteworthy, consideration for others." Granted, many regimes such as Germany, Japan & Viet Nam did not adhere to the principles of the Geneva Conventions during WW2 & the Viet Nam War. But the Geneva Conventions was an attempt, be it naive, to make war a little more civil. In your E-mail you state that no war is civil & that they are all antisocial & violent. Point taken. General William Tecumseh Sherman may have said it best when he said that "War is hell!" The point I was trying to make was any war that pits brother against brother, father against son & friend against friend is warfare at its worst. I pray that our sons & daughters never have to face such a conflict. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

So long as it is viewed in it historical context fine. Political correctness should never be used. /s/ Jim Spencer -----Original Message----- From: Rose Johns [mailto:torosebud@earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 10:13 AM To: VAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VAFRANKL] The Uncivil War....

The father, Jordan N. Peters, had fought in the War of 1812. So it was only natural that the men of his family would answer the call & fight for their cause. Son William Peters served in the 57th VA Infantry. According to the Virginia Regimental Series, "Peters, William: enlisted 21 July 1861 at Pigg River in Company C. AWOL 20 October 1861 to December 1861: present through June 1863. Killed In Action at Gettysburg ... " >From a Franklin News Post article dated July 1999 under the headline of "Confederate Marker Dedicated," comes the following: "Ferrum -- A Confederate Memorial Marker for Civil War soldier William Peters was dedicated recently at Peters' final resting place. More than 200 people attended the ceremony. The gravesite is in Daniel Cemetery at 3599 Turner's Creek Road in Ferrum. Peters, who held the rank of private, served in Company C, 57th Regiment, Virginia's Infantry in the Confederate States of America military. The 57th was part of Armistead's Brigade, Pickett's Division & Longstreet's Corps ... Peters enlisted in the CSA July 21, 1861 at Pigg River in Franklin County at the age of 27. Records show Peters was at home when his son, William Wise Peters, was born August 15, 1861. The soldier returned to service and was present for duty until his death at the Battle of Gettysburg. Peters was wounded in "Pickett's Charge" on Cemetery Ridge on July 3, 1863. He died the next day from his wounds ..." The pension application of his widow, Rachel Peters, said he was shot "through the head." Son Zachariah Peters also served. He explained in his military pension records: "Zachariah Peters, of Long Branch, Franklin County, VA ... in the service of the Confederate States, as a member of Company G, 21st Regiment (Peters), Jones Brigade, on or about the 11th day of December 1863, I was wounded near Morristown in Tennessee, a skirmish fight ..." Muster roll records tell us that Zachariah Peters was a private in the 21st Virginia Cavalry, Capt. A. O. Dobyns' Company, Peters' Regiment, that he enlisted on 22 August 1863 at Floyd County Court House & that he was absent with leave from January 1 to October 31, 1864. The reason for his absence is given as, "At home on wounded furlough, right leg amputated." Sanford P. Gadd was the son-in-law of Jordan N. Peters. Sanford served with his brother, Andrew P. Gadd, a 2nd Lt. in Co. F, 151st VA Militia. Sanford died at the Battle of New Market, VA on 15 May 1864. The following has been written about the Gadd brothers: "Andrew P. Gadd ... always referred to New Market with pathos in his voice. He related how he and his brother Sanford, on the night before the battle, were discussing the beauty of the country and the spring time, and were wondering if the wives had planted their corn, and how they were getting along. Then Sanford said, 'Andrew, I have a premonition that one of us will be killed tomorrow and I don't know which one. But this is our last night together. One of us will go tomorrow.' And when the battle was over, it was Sanford that had made the supreme sacrifice." Sanford & Andrew had a sister named Harriet Elizabeth Gadd. Harriet married Robert Johnson. Robert Johnson, a soldier for the CSA, was also KIA. I'm sure that many of you have similar stories re: this war that pitted brother against brother, father against son & friend against friend. The generation of my gg grandfather, Jonathan Peters, paid dearly for their participation in the Civil War. Some still call it the "War of Northern Aggression." I won't go that far. But I also have trouble using its traditional title. For this war was anything but civil. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

I believe the Question was how many Wray families were in Franklin County? That I cannot be sure of, but I am a descendent of Moses Wray and I do have a lot of info on that family. If Michael wants to let me know if that is the line he is interested in and the specific individuals in the family I may have some info for him. Carrie Bias Hoffert hoffert@mindspring.com
