Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/WV/Jackson/1889 Surname: ------------------------- With your great interest in the 13th W.Va. Infantry, you may be interested in membership in either the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War or Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. Both of these groups were formed in the 1880's and are Congressionally chartered. Membership is open to anyone with either direct ancestry to a Union veteran or with a blood-related uncle who served the Union. One camp of Sons of Union Veterans is currently formed in Buckhannon and another is forming in Spencer now. A group of the Ladies of the G.A.R. is also forming in Spencer now. I can e-mail you more information and also send applications for membership. Keith D. Ashley 34465 Crew Road Pomeroy, OH 45769-9715
