The Blacksmith, The Working Man.

When I hear the word Blacksmith, the picture that comes to my mind was the blacksmith we always seen on TV, or in the movies. But this is far from the truth, oh, there were Blacksmiths like we all seen in the movies, but there were other jobs that called for the blacksmith, such as the Iron factories, Ship building and Railroading, these all called for a blacksmith and there were other jobs that called for a blacksmith as well. Iron and fire is what the blacksmith worked with, it was a hard and dirty job for little pay most of the time. The job of the blacksmith could be dangerous as he worked with fire, his shop could burn down or the factory could blow up, and especially in the time of war.

This page will have two parts the first part is the blacksmith in the time of war.
The second part will be the Blacksmiths of the United States. This part will be a list of blacksmiths, but there will be no information on these names.

I know some will say why would I look at a bunch of names? Will this part is for those of you who had ancestors that were blacksmiths. Although you all may want to look over this list you may find out one of your ancestor was a blacksmith and never know it. Not only will this list give you a name but a year and a towns name. One list covers a town in Connecticut, it’s time line is from 1828-1875, these lists could be helpful to you, for you will have his name town State and a time line. You never know you may find out about a ancestor who was at a place you never know about, and give you a new place to look for more information on that ancestor.


Civil War.

Note. The monthly pay of the enlisted men of the Army of the Confederate States shall be as follows: Blacksmiths, $13, per month.

Vermilionsville, December 16, 1863.

Romulus McBride, a citizen of this village. I believe he is a blacksmith. This man never has belonged to the Confederate Army. He was conscripted but discharged for disability. His wife is distressed to a degree that she has become an invalid. I hope you will, if possible, have this man released.

S. Gosnell. - Says he was born in Maryland. Is a blacksmith. Came to Virginia twelve years ago. Worked in Petersburg and Richmond. For five years past has carried on his business in Fairfax County near Accotink. Was arrested by a party of [the] South Carolina Legion. Says he is true to the South, rather agianst secession, but goes with Virginia. Has had no communication with the enemy. Willing to take the oath of allegiance. Has lost the sight of one eye. Mr. Clemens testifies Gosnell worked in Richmond five or six years ago. Was a good, quiet man of good behavoir, but not a good workman. Has seen him work in Baltimore. He is proved by J. Weller to be a Baltimorean, but has been absent from that place ten or twelve years. No charge.

Note. Many prisoners were put to work as Blacksmiths, such as those at Camp Douglas ILL., where they had 20, prisoners working as Blacksmiths at 10 cents a day.

Prison at Salisbury, N. C.

At the military prison at Salisbury, N. C., it is stated that the Yankee deserters (who work cheerfully) and the convicts are a large number of skillful mechanics, blacksmiths, gunsmiths, carpenters, shoemakers, joiners, harness makers, and tailors. Under a good system, with a supply of tools and materials (which are wanting), the establishment could be made not only self-sustaining, but of considerable value to the Government. I recommend that a quartermaster be assigned to the prison and charged with the procurement of these things. At present the workshops are of little use.

Note. It was hard to get and keep Blacksmiths, both Army’s were always asking the Quarter-masters Department for Blacksmith.

FLAG-OFFICER'S OFFICE, DOCK YARD,
Gosport, Va., October 26, 1861.
Major-General HUGER, Commanding Forces, Norfolk.

SIR: I herewith send you the names of some of the men desiring to leave this place for the North, and who have been employed in this yard since April 21, 1861, with rates of pay, &c., and respectfully recommend that they be prohibited from leaving by the next flag of truce: William Coleman, blacksmith, $2. 50.

Armstead Magaha. - Born in Loundoun County, Va. Lives a mile and a half from Lovettsville, between that and the river. Says he carries on a blacksmith shop at Berlin, in Maryland. Has done so for five years. Rents the shop from year to year. His lease expired last Christmas. Before the bridge was burned at Berlin he crossed every day. Says after the bridge was burned he boarded in Berlin and crossed frequently until the enemy's pickets were placed on the river. Says since the 1st of July he never crossed until the night he was taken. Says he got a skiff and evaded pickets. Afterward he said on the night he was taken was permitted by the captain in command of the pickets to cross in company with Rouse, Smith and Slater. They got a skiff and crossed. They promised the captain to return that night. Says they had nothing to do with the gondola boat. Were going to their skiff when arrested. Says he had bout $2,000 due him for work on the Maryland side of the river and his object in remaining there was to secure it. I submit the report of General Hill and the affidavits of S. Price and S. Crumbaker. I recommend this man to be held as a prisoner.

Number 4. Reports of Major General John. G. Parke, u. S. Army, commanding NINTH Army Corps. HEADQUARTERS NINTH ARMY CORPS, July 15, 1863

GENERAL: A man has just come into our lines from the rear, named A. Leroy Carter, representing himself to be of the THIRD Iowa Infantry, and Just escaped from Jackson Cavalry. This man states that he has been a prisoner since January 4, and detained because he was caught plundering. He has since been kept under guard, and attached to the blacksmith of farrier's department for Jackson's DIVISION. He says his regiment is in Lauman's DIVISION, and recognized some of his old friends prisoners in Jackson's DIVISIONS of cavalry left Jackson last night, crossed the river, went up the opposite bank about 14 miles, and recrossed on a trestle-bridge about 4 miles above Grant's Ferry. During their halt he escaped and rode into our lines. He says Jackson is headed this way, and the idea among the men was that he would attack our rear., so that they could make a sortie simultaneously on our front. Certainly a bold scheme. I have had one or two reports from the front this morning that the enemy's force was increasing. Would it not be well to let Bussey and the brigade hunt this party up?

Richmond National Cemetery
DRANDOF, Alb't BLACKSMITH OCT. 10, 1863, CO. A. 4th, N. Y. CAV. 3A 351.

From the Richmond Whig, 4/28/1863, p. 2, c. 1.


DEATH OF GILBERT HUNT. – Gilbert Hunt, an aged negro, who for a period of more than a half a century pursued the calling of a blacksmith, in this city, died on Sunday last in the 88th year of his age. At the burning of the Penitentiary, when Gilbert was a young man, he was instrumental in saving the lives of a number of prisoners. He also acted a part at the burning of the Richmond Theatre, on the memorable night of December 26th, 1811, which further attested to his intrepidity and philanthropy. The author of “Richmond in By Gone Days” gives a full account of the services rendered by him during the progress of that dreadful calamity. – He states that Dr. J. D. McCaw, who was in the Theatre, when the fire occurred, lowered down from one of the windows of the burning building, some ten or twelve ladies, who were dropped one after another into Gilbert’s brawny arms, and conveyed by others to a place of safety.
The funeral of deceased took place yesterday afternoon, from the “African Church,” and was attended by a very large number of the colored population.

From the Richmond Enquirer, 5/15/1861, p. 1, c. 3.

Destructive Fire.

A fire broke out yesterday in the large Wholesale Grocery and Commission House of Bridgford & Company, corner of 20th and Cary streets, which resulted in the speedy destruction of that building, and also the adjoining Wholesale Grocery and Ship Chandlery establishment of James H. Beegleston.

Mr. E. Bossieux’s stable and blacksmith shop adjoining Mr. Beegleston’s warehouse, was also destroyed, by the walls of the warehouse falling in upon, crushing it down and setting fire to the ruins. Mr. Bossieux loses one or two thousand dollars by the destruction of his property.


R. L. Saunders

From the Richmond Whig, 3/28/1864, p. 1, c. 2

ROBBING A GRAVE YARD. - The Assistant Keeper of the Hollywood Cemetery, yesterday morning, about 12 o’clock, detected a man named R. L. Saunders in the act of breaking off and stealing the locks from the enclosures in the cemetery. He had broken off and pocketed eight locks, mostly brass, when discovered, and was in the act of wrenching off another. He was operating with a long screw driver. When arrested, he said he was getting the brass to make cannon. - Saunders is a well but not favorably known blacksmith, who for many years had a shop on 2d street, between Clay and Leigh streets. He has been once tried for stealing and once for forgery, and in the latter case escaped conviction by adroitly slipping the forged paper into his mouth and swallowing it whilst his trial was going on. It was, no doubt, his intention to fix those locks and sell them. He is believed to have been engaged in stealing locks from the cemetery for some time past, as great numbers have been missed from the different enclosures.

From the Richmond Whig, 3/29/1864, p. 1, c. 2.

THE CEMETERY THIEF. - R. L. SAUNDERS, the blacksmith mentioned yesterday as having been arrested in the act of stealing locks from the vaults and enclosures in Hollywood Cemetery on Sunday morning, was brought before the Mayor yesterday, but the principal witness neglecting to appear, Saunders was committed to jail for future examination.
