Russell is proving quite elusive. Several of the Backs are buried in my ancestor's family plot in Braintree, but they just seem to disappear after that. I will be going to Braintree next month and will make a note to look up their deaths. Thanks for responding. I haven't found them on any Civil War lists either. -----Original Message----- From: Cheri Vanden Berg [mailto:lauervan@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 9:31 PM To: VTORANGE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VTORA] Russell Back, d. 4/25/1864 Anyone can check for an ancestor that may have served in the Civil War here: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I didn't find a Russell Back. I'm not sure if this is 100% complete. Have you checked to see if the deaths were registered in Braintree? They may have the cause of death. They did have my ancestors cause of death written down in Newbury, VT in 1865. ----- Original Message ----- From: Deidre Dagner To: VTORANGE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 8:10 PM Subject: RE: [VTORA] Russell Back, d. 4/25/1864 I know, Jan. Thanks for checking on it. I was just hoping perhaps some Civil War buff or VT history expert might be lurking. I don't know for sure if they served in the Civil War. -----Original Message----- From: Jan J.

If I knew their regiment number, I would be able to lookup their military engagements. Sorry, Jan <<Russell Back Sr. & Jr. both died on 4/25/1864, know of a Civil War battle or any kind of disaster that happened near Braintree, VT? d.dagner@adelphia.net (Deidre Dagner)>> ==== VTORANGE Mailing List ==== Is it true there are more cows than people in Vermont? -- Yup. -- How'd that come about? -- We prefer 'em.
