War is for fighting in what one believes is right, like honor and country , you know the things that stories are written about. But there were men that used the war as a cover for their criminal activities. When one goes looking for ones ancestors he or she may run into a surprises or two, but when one looks into their family past one should not be surprises to find a black sheep now and then. But no matter how one feels about finding these things out it’s part of ones family’s past and should not be left out of it’s history, for by doing so ones family’s history would be incomplete.
Note. The following information will not be in any kind of order I put it down as I found it you may want to do a name search, you may also note this information comes from the official recorders of the Union and Confederate Armies which is housed at the State University of Ohio.

Statement of Jesse W. Moon, .
I curfewed that on this 7th day of December, 1863, personally appeared before me, Frederick J. Fay, a notary public in and for said country and State, Jesse W. Moon, who, being by me duly sworn, deposes and says that he is a sergeant of Company F of the Eighty-eighth Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry; that about the 3rd or 4th day of November last past, as near as this deponent can remember, he was sent by the order of General Mason, through Major Skiles, to the Ohio penitentiary to act as steward to the rebel prisoners confined therein. Deponent had a note from General Mason to Nathaniel Merion, the warden of said penitentiary, informing said warden who he was and directing said warden to admit him. This note contained no orders or instructions as to the duty of this deponent. Deponent's instructions were received verbally from General Mason. They were as follows: That this deponent was to lock up said rebel prisoners in their cells at night and unlock said cells in the morning, to take said prisoners to their meals, and to purchase such things for them as were allowed, tobacco or stationery (for anything else an order form the surgeon, Doctor Bailey, was necessary), to see to the rations of said prisoners, and see that they drew them regularly every ten days. General Mason also directed deponent to have on eye to the guard on the outside wall of said penitentiary, that they performed their duty faithfully, although there was another sergeant of that guard, and this despondent's principal duty was the charge of the guards inside of the said penitentiary. Deponent was not instructed to sweep the cells occupied by said prisoners or to have them sweep. Said warden gave this deponent instructions when he first went to said penitentiary how to lock and unlock the cells, what articles said prisoners were allowed, and so forth. Said warden afterward form time to time cautioned this deponent to be careful. When said prisoners wanted anything not allowed by the orders, for instance, whey they wanted their clothes or boots mended, deponent was in the habit of applying to said Merion, the warden as aforesaid, for his permission. Some times said warden would give his permission, and at other times refuse it.

Statement of John A. Gonce.
I certify that on this 7th day of December, 1863, personally appeared before me, Frederick J. Fay, a notary public in and for said county and State, John A. Gonce, who, being by me duly sworn, deposes and says that the is a sergeant of Company C of the Ninth Regiment of Michigan Volunteer Infantry; that about the 1st of October last this deponent was sent by the verbal order of Major Skiles to take charge of the outside guard at the Ohio penitentiary, said other order being given to this deponent through Sergeant Horne. Deponent never received any instructions in writing. Sergeant Lewis, who preceded this deponent, gave deponent the orders verbally, which were in force, and related to the positing of the guard. Deponent had at that time nothing to do with the inside of said penitentiary. About the 1st of November last deponent was placed in charge of the whole guard of said penitentiary, and has been acting in that capacity since that time, and posted the guard inside of said penitentiary. Deponent had nothing to do with sweeping, cleaning, or inspecting the cells of the rebel prisoners in said penitentiary, or guarding the prisoners to and from their meals. Deponent considered the said rebel prisoners under the charge of the said Nathaniel Merion, the warden of said penitentiary, and that this deponent was as much under the orders of said Merion, warden as aforesaid, in regard to all control or guarding of said rebel prisoners, as he was under the orders of Major Skiles, if not more.

Goss, and Nathaniel Merion, the warden of said penitentiary, at which time a conversation was had as to the escape of General John Morgan, in which conversation the said Merion, warden as aforesaid, stated that it would never have occurred if the cells had been swept out daily. Lieutenant Goss inquired, "Why the sweeping dispensed with?" Said warden replied, "One of the directors said let the God-named rebels clean their own cells; "and that thereupon Mr. Heavy, the prison guard who had charge of that duty, was notified to stop it, and the prisoners were told they must sweep for themselves. Deponent further says that he was present at the examination of Sergeant Moon by Colonel Wallace, and said Moon's answers were, in effect, that he was sent to the penitentiary to act as steward to the rebel prisoners confined therein; that he, Moon, had received no orders to clean, sweep, or inspect the cells occupied by said rebel prisoners from General Mason or any of this staff; that he, Moon, had no authority or control over said prisoners, except as ordered by the warden of said penitentiary, and that the guard placed at the said penitentiary were entirely subject to said warden's orders.

This deponent asked the question of said warden if the could not lessen the guard on the outer wall, that we were had pressed for duty men. Merion replied that if he was to be held responsible for the safety of the rebel officers he could not spare any men. General Mason at once agree that none of the men should be relieved. Deponent further says that all details of guards for said prison were ordered by me, verbally, to report to said Marion for instructions.

Note. There was some confession by the military command as rather it was legal or not to send a military prisoner to a U. S. Penitentiary or not. It was stated by the Supreme Court that it was legal for the President to do so if the sentence was for life or death. It was also found out later that it was legal to send any military man to a U. S. Penitentiary for lesser crimes.

Extract from a letter from Lieutenant L. D. Holloway, prisoner of war confined in the Ohio penitentiary, to his mother.
OHIO PENITENTIARY, CELL Numbers 27,
Columbus, October 22, 1863.
DEAR MOTHER: * * * Your letter finds me in good health. I have a good appetite and have never been sick a moment since I have been here and trust in God that my good health may continue. I am becoming quite fond of my cell, and in fact, this finding of being a prisoner is not half as bad as you might imagine. Here I can write home and receive letters from you all, which I could not do if I was not a prisoner. I can eat as much as I want and no limit to sleeping. Can keep warm, dry, and clean, read my Bible, sing in a whisper and pray for myself, my family, friends, and enemies, and all these things should make one who was been exposed to cold and rain, and often hungry and worn out for sleep, with other cares and duties crowding on him, quite pleasant for a time. * * *

Extract from a letter from G. M. Coleman, a prisoner of war confined in the Ohio penitentiary, to his brother.
OHIO PENITENTIARY, Columbus, Ohio, October 22, 1863.
DEAR BROTHER: * * * You hopes that we were kindly treated. I don't think we have any just cause of complaint. Our confinement is strong and close; otherwise we are treated as well as prisoners generally are. We are fed plentifully on army rations or its equivalent and are allowed to purchase good warm citizens' clothes. Our quarters are kept clean and nice. Our means of exercise are rather limited, but notwithstanding that we are in the enjoyment of robust health. There are seventy officers, including General Morgan, confine in this institution. We have been here eighty-odd days and no death occurred amongst us, not but two cases of serious illness. Those two recovered some time since. * * *

Brigadier General JOHN E. MULFORD, Assistant Agent of Exchange:
SIR: Some time ago you released and delivered under our agreement three inmates from the Albany penitentiary. I understand there is another Confederate soldier in said penitentiary who stood in precisely the same situation as the three you have delivered. His name is Hammond Claude, a private in Company C, First Maryland Cavalry. He was tried as a spy and acquitted, but was sent to the Albany penitentiary. Such was the case of the tree parties (Embert, Lyon, and Hearn) whom you have delivered. Why is a distinction made between them and Claude? Will you not deliver him in compliance with our agreement?
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
RO. OULD,
Agent of Exchange.

STATE OF OHIO, Franklin County.
Milo H. Scott, of the city of Columbus, Franklin County, State of Ohio, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows: I am one of the guards employed within the Ohio penitentiary by Nathaniel Merion, the warden thereof, and for a time previous to the 4th of November, 1863, my special duty was the care and control, under the directions of said warden of the rebel General John H. Morgan and other rebel officers therein confined. I unlocked their cells in the morning, conducted them to their meals, overlooked the sweeping and cleaning of said cells by the party of State convicts employed for that purpose, remained with said prisoners during the day, locked them in their cells at night, and reported their number and condition at the guard-room of said penitentiary every night. On the morning of said 4th of November, 1863, I went to the office of said penitentiary, saw the warden, Merion, who told me that the military authorities at Columbus had taken the charge of said rebel prisoners, and that he, the warden, was no longer to manage or guard them, and gave me to understand that I should not be needed longer, as the military were that day to send one or two sergeants who were to attend to them and discharge generally the duty I had therefore engaged in. Said warden, however, further told me that he thought the sergeants appointed to take charge of said prisoners would not understand precisely the mode of management and care necessary to be taken with said prisoners in uncloaking them for their cells, and locking them up; and said that I had better go with them and keep them for a while, until they learned said duties and the usual mode of discharging them. Soon afterward one of the sergeants (Moon by name) came to that part of the prison where said prisoners were confined, stated he was to take charge of them, and I then gave him all the instructions I could as to the general care and control of said prisoners, locking and unlocking their cells, conducting them to their meals, and gave up charge of said prisoners to him. The next morning, I think it was, another sergeant came (Gonce by name, I think) and assisted said Moon in the care of the prisoners. I continued with them a few days, until I thought they were sufficiently acquainted with their duties, when I was employed by said warden in other places. I had, however, the duty assigned me of overseeing the convicts detailed to take down and cleanse the night buckets and bring in coal for fires, and was thus obliged often to pass into the hall where said prisoners were in the daytime, but had no authority or control over them, nor said had my guard of said prison. Frequently one of said sergeant (Gonce) would come lat in the morning or be entirely absent, and then sometimes I aided said Moon in locking and unlocking said cells.
Affiant further says that previous to his being assigned to the charge of said prisoners he served as night watch in said penitentiary. The duty of said night watch is once in two during the night to pass around the range of cells noiselessly, wearing only their slippers, and with a lamp in the hand, held close to the granting of the cells door, to see if the prisoners is within and quiet. Everything about said halls and cells is kept very quiet and still, and the least jar or noise is most distinct, and affiant believes that it would be impossible for any prisoners or convict in any of said cells to saw, dig, pound, scrape, or attempt anything of the sort in the nighttime without being immediately heard and disproved by said night watch and night guard. And further this affiant saith not.
MILO H. SCOTT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATE OF OHIO, County of Franklin.
Jess E. Waston, of the city of Columbus, Franklin Country, State of Ohio, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows: I am one of the guards of the Ohio penitentiary, situate at Columbus, and since about the 1st of October, 1863, have been assigned to duty as night watch. The duty of said night watch is as follows: He goes in about 5 o'clock p. m. after the prisoners are all locked in their cells, and passing around with a light inspects each cell through the grated door, seeing the occupant is within, and, counting the number, reports the same at the guard-room of the penitentiary. Shortly after 6 o'clock p. m. he passes round again and directs the filling of the water buckets of the prisoners through the bars of the cell door. At 9 o'clock he again passes round to direct that the prisoners' light in cells all to be extinguished. At 11 o'clock p. m., 2 o'clock a. m., and 4 o'clock a. m. he again passes round quietly with a light in his hand, which he holds close to the cell door, to see if the convict is within and quiet, and counting the number thus seen each time. The rest of the time during the night, until the hour of 6 o'clock a. m., is spent in the halls about the blocks of the cells, walking about and watching generally, the guard or watch being in said halls constantly. On the night of November 27, 1863, I went on duty as usual at 5 o'clock p. m. My place has been, since acting as night watch, the most easterly bock of cells, in the south side of which the rebel General John H. Morgan and the other rebel officers were confined. On the night aforesaid I discharged the usual routine of duties as above described. I counted the said rebel prisoners at the first round, reported the number, found it correct, gave them their water at the usual time, ordered lights out, seeing them each one in his cell at the time, made by usual round with the lamp at 11 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and 4 o'clock, found everything as usual in cell, counted, as I supposed, a man in each of said rebel cells, heard no noise or disturbance of any sort soever, and it was not until the day guards came in the morning of November 28 that I even imagined that the said rebel prisoners were not safety in their cells. I afterward saw in their beds, in said cells, stuffed images which had been placed therein to deceive me and which, in my rounds, I had mistaken for the men themselves wrapped up in their bedclothes. Everything was very quiet all the night of said November 27. Entire stillness almost prevails about said cells and halls during the night, and the least noise or jar is instinctly heard anywhere in the hall, and it would be impossible, I think, for any prisoners to cut, saw, dig, pound, scrape, or attempt anything of that kind without being immediately heard and discovered by the night watch, and that it was perfectly impossible for said rebel prisoners to have excavated the holes in their cells floors which they did dig, in any of them during the night season, when I was on duty as aforesaid, without being heard and discovered by me. And I further declare that, during all the time I so watched them at night, as aforesaid, I never heard any noise of such digging or discovered anything about them or their behavior in their cells at night to create suspicion or even to arouse extra attention. And further this affiant saith not.
JESSE E. WATSON.

Note. It was my wish to put a lot more information here but as you can see some of these reports can be very long, more then I got space for so I have put together a list of penitentiaries with the name that can be found within them.
Each man named here will have a report on him, and some can be many pages long. If you see a ancestor here and would like his information, you can get it by just asking. You can find my address in my profile. The names here are not just Military but civilians as well.
Important note. When asking for a name please give Name, Penitentiary and page number, as the search, does not call the name up all the time and I will need a place to start from.

Policeman Of The United Staters & More.
When I was going through some city directories to make up a page on Blacksmiths, I noticed a lot of these cities had a lot of policemen and other law officers. So I decided to make up a page of names of these officers, as I know there are a lot of you out there looking for a ancestor who was a law officer. This page is not just about policeman, but Marshals, Sheriffs and the men and women that worked within the police department.
Note. All these law officers will be from the 1800's.
Important Note. I find I will not have a enough room for all the Law Office I would like put here, so at the end of the State of Massachusetts I will give a list of all the cities that I can look up your ancestor in who may have been in some kind of law enforcement. If you see a state and city that you would like me to look up, you can find my address in my profile.
Note. The information given here is name, date, city and state the rest of the research is up to you, but keep in mind I will answer any questions you may have.

The Many Names Of Blew.
A couple days ago I did a page on the Surname of Blue, and found there were many spellings of the name of (Blue). Then the day after Thanksgiving, I was going through my site and found a post I hadn’t noticed before. It was from a gentleman by the name of Bill (?), who told me about the different spellings, although I already knew, he asked if I would do one on the ( Blew’s. ) I told him it might be a couple weeks before I could get to it, but I find I could start sooner then I thought.
Although Blew is another way of spelling Blue, it will be a lot harder to look up information on, as most of my index’s are sound index’s, and when I put Blew in you get things like, “He blew the Whistle.” or “It blew up.” Will you get the idea. But none the less there will be a lot of good information on this page. I hope Bill and the other Blew hunters will enjoy the information and it, well help you in your hunt for that ancestor.
Note. This information comes from the many departments of the Library of Congress.

Statement of Peter J. Flynn, private, Company A, Third U. S. Volunteers.
I, Peter J. Flynn, private, Company A, Third U. S. Volunteers, having been duly sworn, do state that on the 18th day of May, 1865, while en route from Fort Leavenworth, Kans., to Fort Kearny, Nebr. Ter., that I being one among a party of soldiers who were attacked by a body of Indians about two miles east of Elm Creek Station, Nebr. Ter., I was wounded in the face and back; also 2 of our men were cruelly murdered and 6 (including myself) wounded. Among the wounded was one John W. Twyman, COMPANY H, Third U. S. Volunteers, who was scalped. The Indians captured me and the chief, or one in charge, seemed very friendly toward me, and said that he was a Cheyenne chief. My opinion is they are Pawnees for this reason, when he released me and told me to go, and gave me an arrow, four crackers, and a canteen, and seemed very anxious to impress upon my mind that he was a Cheyenne chief. I think there was about twenty-five or thirty of the Indians. I could not say how they were dressed, except the chief, who was dressed in black velvet pants, with two rows of brass buttons down the outer seams. He also wore fancy beadwork moccasins and fancy beadwork cap, with a light-colored blanket thrown carelessly over him. His hair was cut short, so much so that I could not tell its color.

Sworn and subscribed to at Fort Kearny, Nebr. Ter., before me this 5th day of June, 1865.

GETTYSBURG, PA., July 4, 1863.
LIEUTENANT: I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by the Twenty-eighth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers in the action of July 2 and 3, near Gettysburg, Pa.: Agreeably to orders received from brigade headquarters, on the morning of the 2d, the regiment was thrown to the front along the stream near the right of the line of battle, and remained in that position during the day, supporting the line of skirmishers of General Greene`s brigade. Some skirmishing with the enemy, in which 3 men were lost to the command. Retired at dark with the brigade, and formed line about 1 mile in the rear. Remained in that position until 12. 30 a. m. July 3, when the regiment moved forward to retake the position left the morning before. Took position in the breastworks, relieving the Twenty-ninth Ohio Volunteers. Were under heavy fire while there, and lost during the engagement 3 killed and 22 wounded and missing. Were relieved, and rested in rear of the brigade until nearly 4 p. m., when we were again ordered into the breastworks, and remained there until 10 p. m. Again relieved, and again ordered at 2 a. m. to relieve the Sixtieth and Seventy-eighth New York Volunteers, still remaining there. I take pleasure in stating that officers and men, without exceptions, exhibited the greatest coolness and bravery, and I would consider it injustice to the command did I attempt to single out individual cases of bravery, as all performed well their part.

Captain ADRIAN TERRY,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit, for the information of the major-general commanding the department, the following facts, which I obtained from William Flynn, a citizen of Charleston, and one of a party of 8 picked up last night by one of the naval boats in the outer harbor. He is a carpenter by trade, and for some length of time has been working in the Engineer Department of the rebel Army. He has never been in their military service. He states that there are two regiments on Sullivan's Island, one of which is commended by Colonel Keitt, but does not know the name of the commander of the other. Colonel Alfred Rhett commands the artillery on Sulluvan's Island, James Island, &c. General Ripley is in command at Mount Pleasant. There are three brigades on James Islandm, viz, Hagood's, Wise's, and Colquitt's. Walker is in command at Pocatoligo, with not a very heavy force. An attack is expected at Savannah, whither General Beauregard and staff have gone to look after matters. He says if our guns be rained on the steeple of the church on Citadel Green, or a little to the right of it, from Morris Island, our shells will be likely to make Beauregard's quarters a very uncomfortable dwelling-place. I have caused them to be pointed in hat direction. Our shells are now thrown too far toward Ashley River and many of the fall in the burnt district. The church spire alluded to is the tallest one toward the east and is painted brown. Few people have been killed, but mny houses ruined. The other day a shell burt on the deck of their new ram, without doing her damage. Last Sunday night a shell went through the roof of a house, struck a chair at the foot of a bed in which a man and his wife were sleeping, and passed into the cellar without injuring either of them. Another shell struck a house in Calhoun street, went through the bed between a negro and his wife, and thence passed into the cellar, leaving both uninjured.

Statement of Peter J. Flynn, private, Company A, Third U. S. Volunteers.
I, Peter J. Flynn, private, Company A, Third U. S. Volunteers, having been duly sworn, do state that on the 18th day of May, 1865, while en route from Fort Leavenworth, Kans., to Fort Kearny, Nebr. Ter., that I being one among a party of soldiers who were attacked by a body of Indians about two miles east of Elm Creek Station, Nebr. Ter., I was wounded in the face and back; also 2 of our men were cruelly murdered and 6 (including myself) wounded. Among the wounded was one John W. Twyman, COMPANY H, Third U. S. Volunteers, who was scalped. The Indians captured me and the chief, or one in charge, seemed very friendly toward me, and said that he was a Cheyenne chief. My opinion is they are Pawnees for this reason, when he released me and told me to go, and gave me an arrow, four crackers, and a canteen, and seemed very anxious to impress upon my mind that he was a Cheyenne chief. I think there was about twenty-five or thirty of the Indians. I could not say how they were dressed, except the chief, who was dressed in black velvet pants, with two rows of brass buttons down the outer seams. He also wore fancy beadwork moccasins and fancy beadwork cap, with a light-colored blanket thrown carelessly over him. His hair was cut short, so much so that I could not tell its color.

Some skirmishing with the enemy, in which 3 men were lost to the command. Retired at dark with the brigade, and formed line about 1 mile in the rear. Remained in that position until 12. 30 a. m. July 3, when the regiment moved forward to retake the position left the morning before. Took position in the breastworks, relieving the Twenty-ninth Ohio Volunteers. Were under heavy fire while there, and lost during the engagement 3 killed and 22 wounded and missing. Were relieved, and rested in rear of the brigade until nearly 4 p. m., when we were again ordered into the breastworks, and remained there until 10 p. m. Again relieved, and again ordered at 2 a. m. to relieve the Sixtieth and Seventy-eighth New York Volunteers, still remaining there. I take pleasure in stating that officers and men, without exceptions, exhibited the greatest coolness and bravery, and I would consider it injustice to the command did I attempt to single out individual cases of bravery, as all performed well their part.
I remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN FLYNN,
Captain, Comdg. Twenty-eighth Regiment Pennsylvania Vols.

HEADQUARTERS U. S. FORCES,
Morris Island, S. C., February 4, 1864.
Captain ADRIAN TERRY,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit, for the information of the major-general commanding the department, the following facts, which I obtained from William Flynn, a citizen of Charleston, and one of a party of 8 picked up last night by one of the naval boats in the outer harbor. He is a carpenter by trade, and for some length of time has been working in the Engineer Department of the rebel Army. He has never been in their military service. He states that there are two regiments on Sullivan's Island, one of which is commended by Colonel Keitt, but does not know the name of the commander of the other. Colonel Alfred Rhett commands the artillery on Sulluvan's Island, James Island, &c. General Ripley is in command at Mount Pleasant. There are three brigades on James Islandm, viz, Hagood's, Wise's, and Colquitt's. Walker is in command at Pocatoligo, with not a very heavy force. An attack is expected at Savannah, whither General Beauregard and staff have gone to look after matters. He says if our guns be rained on the steeple of the church on Citadel Green, or a little to the right of it, from Morris Island, our shells will be likely to make Beauregard's quarters a very uncomfortable dwelling-place. I have caused them to be pointed in hat direction. Our shells are now thrown too far toward Ashley River and many of the fall in the burnt district. The church spire alluded to is the tallest one toward the east and is painted brown. Few people have been killed, but mny houses ruined. The other day a shell burt on the deck of their new ram, without doing her damage. Last Sunday night a shell went through the roof of a house, struck a chair at the foot of a bed in which a man and his wife were sleeping, and passed into the cellar without injuring either of them. Another shell struck a house in Calhoun street, went through the bed between a negro and his wife, and thence passed into the cellar, leaving both uninjured.
