Note. Being a contractor was a risky business at this time in history but no more so then to day. The contracts were any where from six months to five years. Many men had to ask for a advancement on their contracts to get started, but the government wasn’t just giving money away the contractor had to put up some kind of collateral. This was usually their land, home or business or all he owned. If the contractor couldn’t met the dead line or couldn’t full fill his contract his property would be taken and sold to pay off the advancement.

In 1830, John S. Stiles had a contract for navy bread for the years of 1830-31, but had sustained some losses and had a claim in Congress.

Note. This claim is way to long to put down here but if you would like a copy let me know and I will send you a copy.

In 1831, there was a petition in Congress by John Watson, who stated in December of 1812, he went to New York for the purpose of contracting with the government agents for the building of a vessel-of-war. There he found Oliver H. Perry and Doctor John Bullas were the Navy agents. After the contract was signed a cutter schooner to be pierced for sixteen guns was built. Then in December 1813 the ship cleared from the port of Middletown for New York, she went down river 8 miles of it’s mouth, and there waited for it to be safe to proceed to New York, as it was winter. Then on April 7, 1814, the British blockade under the Commodore Hardy, came up the river and captured the schooner, but while in attempting to carry her out to sea she ran a ground and was set a fire and abandoned. The fire was put out but it was found it would cost as much to refit her as it had to build her, she was a loss. John Watson stated he had filled the contract and was asking to pay on the contract. However the government said they had looked over thousands of contracts and papers but his was not found and were sorry but the contract would not be paid.

Note. There are to many contract in the following to put in all the information, but if you would like more information just ask and I will send you a copy.

In 1864, Fowler & Co., contracted for stores at Camp Douglas.

1863, contracts between the Confederate State, and Alexander Collie & Co., of London and Crenshaw & Co., of Charleston S. C.? for prison stores.

1863, Confederate State, Mr. George W. Thatcher, is now in Europe carrying out his contract of getting supplies.

1861, Captain Haskell, aide-de-camp, was a contractor for mules. He desired Captain Turnley to receive his animals-good, bad, and indifferent, as Captain Turnley said. This he would not do, and stated his prices for different classes-wheel, lead, &c. Besides, he had more mules than he could possibly send to the army. Notwithstanding all this, he received an order to inspect and receive Mr. Haskell's mules as rapidly as possible.

1864, Confederate State, John Surface contractor was arrested and returned to his regiment by order of General Buckner after his discharge from the military service of the Confederate States on writs of habeas corpus by Judge Fulton, of the Virginia bench, and which are the subject of your letter of the 17th of November, 1863, had been brought to the attention of the Department in the latter part of August by Honorable Waller R. Staples, had been investigated

In 1862, a contract was given to Gregg & West to erect buildings on Johnson’s Island.

In 1862, King & Kennedy contracted for supplies.

On the 25th September 1861, bids opened at Saint Louis, for furnishing grain and hay. Mr. Baird or Baird & Palmer of Saint Louis, got the contract, Baird got 33 cents for grain and $19 per ton for hay.

In 1865, contract for McDonald & Co., who could furnish corn at $7 and beef at 6 cents, or 3, gross. He was allowed to take a temporary supply. He sends agents all through the Cherokee country buying at $2 and $2. 50. If a man had 100 bushels they buy it all and issue half of it to him, and give one of his neighbors an order for fifty of it to go and get it. It is paid for in McDonald's and McKEE's checks, thirty days after date; 9,000 bushels were thus bought. Sometimes when there was no corn they give checks for the corn and checks for what they pretend to buy.

On October 11, 1861, Casper D. Shubarth, was given a contract for 20,000 to 50,000 Springfield muskets.

On October 11, 1861, the Providence Tool Co. was given a contract for 50,000 more muskets.

TREMONT HOUSE, Chicago, May 15, 1862.
Colonel J. A. MULLIGAN:
My contract to supply the troops, prisoners, at Camp Douglas with rations will expire on the 1st of July next. The price being very low (only 10 85/100 cents), Captain Chirstopher when it was made in March last offered to make the contract for the entire time that troops and prisoners should remain in camp, but the fear of loss prevented me from accepting the offer, so it was made to end on the 1st of July as above stated. There are on the market here now large quantities of cured meats, such as bacon, &c., which make up eight-tenths of the meat ration of the prisoners, and it can be bought at a low price, about the same as the past three months. If I knew now that I should have the contract after July I should at once purchase a quantity of such meats as would be wanted, and by so doing could afford to carry the contract along at the same price, which would be carrying out the original idea of Captain Chirstopher. Parties having such meats will either sell them or pack them away for the summer within the next month, and when packed the opportunity to purchase will have passed except at a higher rate, and parties assuming the contract on the 1st of July, it being the heat of summer, will hardly dare to take the contract at the present low rate.

Army & Navy Contractors 1794-1817 P. 1.

In my work as a Surname researcher I look for names every where, but there is one subject matter I have not touched on before its the Military Contractor. Oh they were easy enough to find"," but to find any information on a individual was almost impossible. I thought if I just put down a name"," and what the contract was for"," that it would be dry and uninteresting. However"," with my work at Roots Web., over the years I have seen people asking about Military Contractors. They had stories of a family member that had a contract with the military and wanted to know if there was a way to find out, so I thought it was time to see if I could give them some kind of help. [Those same people knew of a "contract," and the contractor being a family member it was apparent to me they wanted additional information, so with that in mind I set out to see if I could provide some assistance.]

The information will be name, date, and some of material supplied. Space being limited will not allow me to list the hundreds of items involved in every situation, but will provide as much as possible. “I think you all will be interested as well as I, on how much a pair of socks cost, or what the price of a gun was going for.” These names will be listed by year, as you go from year to year you may see the same name more the once"," but keep in mind they may not be supplying the same items. The military contractor supplied services from the care of the sick to a pair socks.

Note. The information on these two pages comes from Naval affairs Vol. I-III, and Military affairs Vol. I-VII, theses records are housed at the Library of Congress. Also from the official records of the Civil War, Who’s records are housed at Ohio State University.

They Took The Oath Of Allegiance.

This page is of those who took the oath of allegiance they were soldiers and civilian, they were young and old men and women and children. They were prisoners of war or civilian that were arrested for one reason or another. A lot of people think that after they took the oath they were aloud to go home or where ever they liked that was far the truth, however some were aloud to go home. After they took the oath they were on parole and were not all that free to do as they liked. Some were ordered to a family home and not aloud to leave, or not to leave the county others were ordered to stay within the State they were paroled in and others were aloud to go to any State so long that it was a northern State. The Confederates also had a oath of allegiance I have not seen a full wording of it, but in my research I found it was about the same as the Unions with the same rules.

As a surname researcher it is my job to give you as many names as I can, to help you find that lost family member, even though he or she may not be lost you would like to know more about him or her. Some times I have a lot of information on a name and other times very little but I always try to give some kind of information. Most of the names I put on this web site have more information then I give here but as I have little space I can’t give all the information I have on each name. I always give my E. Mail on most of my posts, so I’m easy to find. If you have any questions on this page or any other page or would just like to ask a question just write me I will be happy to hear from you all.

Note. The information on this page comes from the official records of the Civil War, which are housed at Ohio State University.

If you would like to leave a comment or ask for help you may at the following. dsegelquist1@cox.net

Oath of Allegiance.

I________ name, do solemnly swear ( or affirm as the case may be ) that I will support and defend the Constitution and government of the United States against all enemies whether domestic of foreign; that I will bear true and faithful allegiance to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State, convention, legislature, or order or organization, secret or otherwise, to the contrary not withstanding; that I do this with a full determination, pledge, and purpose, without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever, and especially that I have not by word or deed or in any manner whatever given countenance, aid, comfort or encouragement to the present rebellion or to those who have been or are now engaged in the conspiracy against the government of the United States so help me god._______________ sign.

Note. The above oath is what Congress put in a Bill in 1862., the oath below was given in St. Louis Missouri in 1861.

Oath of allegiance to the United States Government:

I solemnly swear that I will bear true allegiance to the United States and support and sustain the Constitution and laws thereof; that I will maintain the national sovereignty paramount to that of all State, county or confederate powers; that I will discourage, discountenance and forever oppose secession, rebellion and disintegration of the Federal Union; that I disclaim and denounce all faith and fellow-ship with the so-called Confederate armies and pledge my honor, my property and my life to the sacred performance of this my solemn oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States of America.

Note. This is what General S. R, Curtis had to say about the oath.

SAINT LOUIS, December 11, 1861.
General S. R. CURTIS.
DEAR SIR: As an honest man I would seriously object to taking this oath because that every man that takes it can't avoid perjury for he can't support the Government and uphold and sustain the Constitution at the same time.
It does appear to me an unsophisticated individual that our rulers are crazy, and you among the rest if this oath is prescribed by you. You all seem to overlook several facts that are patent to all the world. First of them though not least is that there no longer exists any union of all the States and that there is really less Union feeling in the hearts of the Northern people than in the Southern people. The next and still more prominent fact is that it is impossible to perpetuate or create a union by force. Union don't mean war and war don't mean union. The more war the less union. But why reason with crazy men?

Note. This oath was ordered to be give at Fort Monroe, Va., November 12, 1863, as we can see there were many oaths.

I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, whether domestic of foreign; that I hereby pledge my allegiance, faith, and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State Convention or State Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding; that I will at all times yield a hearty and willing obedience to the said Constitution and Government, and will not, directly or indirectly, do any act in hostility to the same, either by taking up arms against them, or aiding, abetting, or countenancing those in arms against them; that without permission from the lawful authority, I will have no communication, direct or indirect, with the States in insurrection against the United States, or either of them, or with any person or persons within said insurrectionary States, and that I will in all things deport myself as a good and loyal citizen of the United States. This I do in good faith, with full determination, pledge, and purpose to keep this my sworn obligation, and without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever.

Charles Clay. -Aged sixty-three. Born in Virginia; has lived in Raleigh County twelve years. Says he is a secessionist and on the Southern side. Has two sons in Floyd's brigade, in Captains Pate's or Adams' companies. Has done all in his power for the families of volunteers in the Southern army. Does not know of rwhat he is arrested. Says he went to hunt up some cattle and hogs driven by the wife of a volunteer into the mountains when the Northern troops went to Raleigh Court-House. Did not expect them to return so soon, but they met him in the road on his return home, took him prisoner, and compelled him to show them where they could cross the creek, and then discharged him. Says he never had anything to do with the Northern army or with the Union man, except in this instance. Says he has slept out in the mountains at night to avoid them. I examined Colonel Coleman, the member of the legislature of Virginia from Fayette [and] Raleigh, and Mr. McDonald, the member from Wyoming, and they neither knew enough of this man to say whether he was worthy of credit. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.

Greenville Clay. -Son of Charles Clay; does not know for what he was arrested. Never had any connection with the Northern army or the Union men. Once met a a squad of Yankees on the road. They asked him the condition of the bridges and passed. He had nothing to do with the Northern army or the Union men. Has two brothers in the Southern army, one in Captain Adams', the other in Captain Pate's company, Floyd's brigade. In the spring put in a crop in partnership with one of his brothers. It was afterwards agreed one of them should volunteer. His brother being unmarried, volunteered in Captain Pate's company. Has aided the families of the Southern volunteers by cutting their grain in harvest, and by other labor. I have examined Colonel Coleman and Mr. McDonald. They can throw no light on this case. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
