The United State Dragoon Regiment 1781-1874 P. 1

My goal at this web site is to give you as many names, as I can so you may be able to fine your ancestor. The next four pages are of the Dragoon Regiments. Although there will be hundreds of names there will be very little information on then, that’s not to say there is none I just had no room for it. If you see a name and would like to see if there is more information on it, just let me know I will be happy to look. As there will be so many names you may want to do a name search, in this way you won’t have to look over all the names. Although by doing this you will miss out on some very interesting information on this Regiment you never know about. This information will cover the years of 1781 through 1874. If you have any questions you can reach me at the following: dsegelquist1@cox.net

Important Note. I was not able to keep a Time line, it will jump around as I find the information.

Note. This information comes from the many Departments of The Library of Congress.

February 28, 1781, Part of a letter from Artemas Ward to an unknown.

Sir I sincerely congratulate you on the following agreeable & very Interesting intelligence from the Southward by express this day arrived from Major General Green viz on the 1 7th of January last Brigadier General Morgan with a detachment from the army gained a complete victory over Liut. Colo Talton at a place called the Cowpens in South Carolina. The action lasted 80 minutes. Our loss was not more than 12 killed & 60 wounded. The Enemy lost 10 Commission officers & upwards of 100 Rank & file killed, 200 wounded, 29 Commission officers and above 500 Privates made Prisoners, two pieces of Artillery, two Standards, 800 Musquets, one traveling forge, 36 Baggage Wagons, 70 negroes & upwards of 100 dragoon horses, with all the musical Instruments belonging to the corps. The Enemy consisted of upwards of a thousand chosen British Troops, Morgan of 800, 530 of which were Militia. They pursued the Enemy upwards of twenty miles. This Genl. Morgan was a Captain at Roxbury in 1775. Sincerely wish this may prove a prelude to future success in the South, as the Bennington victory did to the North in 1777.

October 27, 1778, The sum of five hundred dollars be allowed to the field officers, captains, subalterns, chaplain and surgeon of the light dragoons respectively, in the service of these United States, to compensate the extraordinary expense of his horse and equipment, beyond that of officers of the like rank in the infantry; provided always, that any officer receiving such sum shall be liable to refund the same if he leaves the service during the present war. It was also noted, "Resolved, That upon the reduction of any corps of light Dragoons, which has performed actual service in the field each officer and each dragoon shall retain his horse, saddle and bridle as his own property."

The Methodist Episcopal Church of the Territory of Florida, praying that a lot of land belonging to the United States, lying in the city of St. Augustine, called the old dragoon barracks, may be granted to them, for the purpose of erecting a church thereon.

On December 28, 1832, there was a report on converting the Corps of mounted rangers into a regiment of dragoons, upon an examination of the organization of the present battalion of mounted rangers it does appear to the committee to be very defective. The companies are too large for men serving on horseback, and differ too materially from the organization of the other troops composing the army, there being in each company of rangers one hundred and ten men, exclusive of officers, which, when drawn into line, will make a very considerable front, nearly equal to that of a squadron of cavalry. There is but one field officer (and he a major, unprovided. with any staff) to command 660 men, while in a regiment of infantry, where the duties cannot be so arduous, and the regiment composed only of 514 men, it has been deemed necessary to provide three field officers and an adjutant and certain non-commissioned staff, with a due proportion of music, none of which are provided for the rangers. He Regular dragoons, it is believed, are fully competent to discharge all the duties that can be required of mounted rangers. In celerity of movement they will, of course, be equal, and as it is the duty of dragoons to serve on horse or foot, they may be trained to the use of the rifle and sword as occasion may require.

2 authorized to appoint, for the infantry and cavalry so to be engaged, the proper
3 commissioned officers, who shall not exceed in number and rank the proportions

L. B. NORTHROP.
June 19, 1846.

First Lieutenant Northrop, of the First Dragoons, who stands first on the list of first lieutenants in his regiment, left his company October 6, 1839, in consequence of a severe wound occasioned by the accidental discharge of his pistol while on detached service in the Cherokee country, and has not since performed military duty, except from October 7, 1842, to March, 1843, when he acted as an assistant commissary in the Subsistence Department. December 6, 1843, he addressed a letter to the Adjutant-General, expressing his unwillingness to remain a burden on the service, and, under a nice sense of professional honor, stated that it was his intention to pursue another profession. For this purpose, he asked for three years to qualify himself for the medical profession, at the termination of which, if not then able to resume his military duties, he said he would leave the Army. His request was acceded to, and Lieut. Northrop is now absent and cannot perform the duties of a lieutenant, as will be seen from his last report to the Adjutant-General, dated Charleston. S. C., April 1, 1846, to wit:

"I hereby certify that I am unfit to perform my regimental duty ill consequence of the crippled condition of my right knee in which the ball is still lodged; impairing its usefulness and keeping it irritable and unfit for motion (either quick or continued). The tissues around the joint are thickened, the circulation is affected and by motion or a pendant position the limb soon becomes turgid and heavy, with a variable degree of pain.
(Signed)"L. B. NORTHROP,
"1st. Lt. 1st. Reg't, U. S. D."

Jayhawk Hotel & Theater

I remember the first day I walked into the Jayhawk Hotel, looking for a job little did I know I would change it’s history. I remember looking at the newspaper that morning looking for a job then I saw a add that said the hotel need help, well I took a fast look and headed for town. After entering the hotel I didn’t know what to do, being a young man of ( 19 ) I know little of the real world even though I had three other jobs before this. Well I went up this desk and stood and waited, before long a big Africa American in a dark blue uniform came up and asked what I wanted, and I told him I was looking for a “Bill Carpenter,” about a job well he said he never heard of him. Well I said there was and add in the paper for a job at the hotel and to ask for him. Well after a moment he said. “No it’s not Bill Carpenter, it’s the Bell Captain and that’s me.” Boy did my face ever get red, well he said he didn’t have time right then as he was to busy as the Legislatures were comeing in, a lot of the State Legislatures stayed at the hotel when they were in session.

I don’t believe he really wanted to talk to me, but I sat and waited and waited then after three hours he saw I was still there and said. “Any one that’s willing to wait that long to see about job and not knowing that he will get it, Well you got it.” I found out a few days later why it was so hard to get the job. The hotel open in 1927, and in all that time there has never been a “ White” bellman, I was the first. Now I could go and tell all kinds of story’s about the hotel like the time I stepped all over Governor Dockings feet, be cause he was too full of drink to get out of the way. Then there was all those cheese and pineapple party’s I sat up for Senator Bob Dole, before he became a Senator, and yes it was “ Dole pineapple.”

Like I said, I could go on and on, but this about the Jayhawk Theater as well. There were two ways to enter the theater, you could go in on the 7th., street side on the north side of the building or the one on Jackson street on the west side of the building, both had marquees. The ticket both on Jackson was outside the one on 7th., street was inside, as you entered you would pass four swinging doors, that lead to the hotel lobby, then you would come to the main ticket booth. After buying your ticket you would go up a flight of stairs down a hall way turn right and you were there. If you entered on the Jackson side you would walk a long hall way and as you did you would pass the show windows of the Crosby store, you could even enter the store from the hall, so you didn’t have walk all the way around. After passing the windows you had a flight stairs then a short walk to the Theater.

When I started working at the hotel ( 1966 ) I would go in at the 7th., street door the old marquee still hung over the door, although it had changed over the years. The sign now read Jayhawk Hotel, but there still were signs of the old theater still there, above the marquee the was a seven story sing that read in big letters Jayhawk that at the bottom of the in small letters it said theatre. When I worked the night shift ( 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. ) and it was slow I would go out into the hall way and go into the show for a while then run back hoping I wasn’t missed.

I worked at the hotel for 10 years, after I left I took a job across the street at Wolfe’s Camera shop, but then that’s another story. One day about 1982, one of the boss said they were going to take down the old historic sign down and we could watch if we liked. The company that was taking down the sign was the champe or champman demolition co.

The head man himself was doing the cutting of the sign braces, he stood on a platform held in the air by a crane eight story’s high. All the workmen and us were all laughing at him to be careful, when all of a sudden the sign give away, there had been to much pigeon droppings in the sign. It was a good thing they had a cable around it, they were all upset because they were trying to save the sign as it was a important historical part of Topeka’s history, but now that would be impossible?, the following pictures tells the story.

Note. For those of you who would like to know more about the old theater can go to this site it’s full historical information old pictures and more: http://www.jayhawktheatre.com/history.html to get into the pictures go all the way to the bottom of the page.

Lone Star Lake--Lawrence Kansas.

There is a lake called Lone Star, it’s about six miles south of Lawrence, Kansas in Douglas county, it covers 195 acres. My wife and my first child would go there for the day to swim and fish and some times a week end of camping. The lake was a favorite gathering place for the college kids from Lawrence University. I don’t know when it was built but by mother and father would go there in the 1940’s. There was a swimming beach on the south side of the lake at the east end as you came into the lake on the dam side. The beach had a floating dock so you could walk farther out into the lake, I always stayed within the rope off area “No I can’t swim.” and after what I found out later I won’t have gone in, in the first place.

One day in the 1980’s we were sitting around home in Topeka, and heard they were going to empty the lake as the dam needed to be repaired. Well it took a couple months before we get there, when we came upon the dam what a sad site it was. The lake was empty and the bed was all dried up, and the bottom had big cracks from the mud drying up. Well we got out too look around then I noticed something at the bottom of the lake, it looked like a bridge but I thought what was a bridge be doing in the bottom of the lake. Well come to find out when they built the lake the had been a road the crossed a small creek, they decided to leave it. Many of the Kansas lakes and reservoirs still have bridges in them.

But this bridge is different in that it’s made of logs and is well over a hundred years old, you could even could see were the old road was. When we were at the bottom I looked around and I couldn’t believe how deep we were, it was at lest 80 to 90 feet to the top bank. The lake is full again? And I believe the bridge is still there. No one will ever see the bridge, but I had my camera that day and took some pictures and well share them with you now.

Note. If you have any history about the lake, I would like to know about it, you can write to me at the following: dsegelquist1@cox.net

Echo Cliff Park--Dover Kansas

Although this site is about surnames it’s also about history, so I’m going to talk a little about a place I found about 50, years ago it’s called Echo Cliff Park, it’s located about two miles south west of Dover Kansas. Now Dover is a little historic town about 14, miles south west of Topeka, Kansas on K4, highway or you can take 57th., street both will meet in the center of Dover. I could talk about the historic Sage Inn and other places of Dover but you can find all about them by doing a web search, this is about Echo Cliff Park.


The best time to visit the park is in the mid fall at the time the leaves are changing their colors, but any time is a good time to visit the park. There is no camping at this park as it closes at 10 p. m., but you could try fishing in the Mission creek which runs through it the best time for fishing is after a hard rain when the water is running unless you like crawdads. But the park is not about camping or fishing but about being with ones family to have a picnic and enjoy the fresh air. When my friends or family would go there we would have the park all to are self’s, but that may have changed, as the Dover community has been working on the park as you will see when do a web search. The park is well kept up and the grass is always kept cut.



The park is small, as Mission Creek in circle it, but none the lest if you like peace and quiet and the beauty of nature, then this park is the place to come. After leaving the park you may want to visit the old Osage school house No. 8 or No. 9, that stands in a field south of the park go left and over the bridge after leaving the park it’ a few miles after crossing the Shawnee and Osage county line, but take note it’s been over 30, years the last time I saw it, so it may not still be standing.


I hope the following pictures will inspire you to come and visit this little park.

The Easter Family's of Burlingame Kansas

My families home was on a farm south-east of Scranton, Kansas, they were farmers and coal miners, they owned their own mine, it was called the Segelquist Brothers Coal Co. As a young man we would visit the farm a lot as my father like to hunt and fish on the farm. Now about a quarter of a mile west of the farm sat a old farm house on top of a hill, that we would go and hunt at, as a boy I didn’t think to much about the house other then it was neat and falling apart. As the years past the old house sat on the hill reminding us of the days of the past.

When I became older (18 ?) I became interested in photography and would always take my camera with me, I was always taking pictures of the old house. One time my dad and I were at the house and in back there was another building something like a smoke house, although my dad said that the family had lived in it, while the big house was being built. Well I went in side and found a lot of old Newspapers from the 1870 and 1880’s, I still have some. I thought they were neat and that was about it, till I got interested in Genealogy. The house was always known as the Easter place, and the papers had a tag with the name of Easter on it, so I started looking in to the name and this is what I found.

Note. The pictures were taken over the years, the B. & W. picture was taken some time in the late 1970 or early 1980’s this would be the last time the house would be seen as it was taken down some time in the 1980’s my aunts house now stands in it place.

New- January 23, 2010.

Mr. F. M. Elliott, of South Carolina give this new info on his Grate-Grate Grandfather.

My great- great Grandfather John Francis Abraham Elliott was a Methodist Preacher in the Darlington District of South Carolina. He entered the war with 2 of his sons. One son, Thomas Wayne Elliott was killed in the battle of Atlanta. I may have a date of birth and date of death but that’s about all we have on him. We always assumed that he was shot in battle. This is interesting to learn of his possible hanging. His father Captain J. F. A. Elliott also died during the war from illness on Morris Island SC. I have a good amount of info on him but the info on Thomas was he had been short.

Error--I apologize for the confusion. Thomas wasn't actually Killed in action, he married and moved west after the civil war. His brother Dargan Pinkney Elliott was the one that was killed in the battle of Atlanta.
