My focus is on Oliver and Emma's eldest son, ABRAM FLETCHER who died at Gettysburg, PA on July 3, 1863 from wounds. He was a member of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry, Co. K, a regiment of the Iron Brigade. We have several Civil War letters from Abram's brothers Charles and Oliver to their younger sister, Emma, (my husband's gg-grandmother) in which Abram is mentioned. It seems as though Abram was the only married brother and that is why Emma didn't have letters from him as it was noted in one letter from Charles (his brother) that Abram wrote to his wife Sarah (Cary) Fletcher. Here's my dilemma. Oliver and Emma's family is mentioned in the 1860 Lemonweir census except for Abram, who was off and married by that time. I am trying to figure out where Abram lived with his wife Sara. ALso... Abram had two children with Sarah, a boy, Ira and a girl Eliza. After Abram was killed in the war (as all three brothers died in the war unfortunately) Sarah remarried a DAVID RIVERS in 1866 and eventually moved to MN, where she died on Nov 24, 1909 in Maywood twp, Benton Co, MN. Abram and Sarah's son:. Ira4 Fletcher, b. Aug 08, 1858; d. Mankato, Blue Earth Co, MN. their daughter:. Eliza A Fletcher, b. Dec 13, 1861, WI; d. Mankato, Blue Earth Co, MN I would like to know if anyone can lead me to Abram's descendants for several reasons..... I would like to find out if there are letters that were saved by Sarah and handed down to her children, grandchildren, and I would like to know if anyone in that family is aware of their Civil War history. I have a picture of Abram's grave marker in the National Cemetery at Gettysburg where my family vacationed just a few weeks ago. I would like to share this with any Fletcher family member who may be interested. I also have scanned our Civil War letters from Charles and Oliver (Abram's brothers) to their sister Emma if anyone would like me to email these to them I'd be happy to. Thanks, Joyce
