The murder of a person in the old days was no more uncommon then it is to day. The reasons for these murders were no different then today, greed and hate, and the want to have someone else’s stuff. Now I am not romantizing murder but to report the information the way it was recorded into history. There are many family stories that tell that some of their family line was murdered by Indians or by one enemy or another ( Union or Confederate. ), This information is to help you know what happened to these men and women and some times children. Many of you may know of these stories and some will not and then there are those of you who never knew anything about a murder of one of their family line.
Native Americans.
I know there are two sides of a story, but this author feels he could not give your side the justice it deservers, yes many Native Americans murdered the White’s and the White’s murdered the Native Americans, but less us not forget that the Native Americans were murdering each other for the same reason the white’s were murdering each other. That being said I will add a storey or two so you will not feel left out of history again.

James Burges, and Indian trader who lived on the lower Creeks. Went to a John Kinnard house, who lived in the Hitcheta town in the lower Creeks as John Kinnard was accusing James Burges in the murder and robbery at Trader’s Hill, on the St. May’s river. James Burdes said, he know nothing of it, other then he knew there was some mischief to be done. Three Indians had came to his house and informed him they were direct from Pensacola, and were sent by the Governor, of that place and a Mr. Panton, Leslie & co. of Florida with directions from these men to ( take hair ) , as they tem scalping, from the Americans, living on the river St May’s. Their orders were not to return to their employers without committing murder on the Americans. James Burges said those three Indians were joined by a party of Indians from the town where he lived and went to St. May’s and killed Captain John Fleming and Daniel Moffit, and then went to Robert Seagrove store and robbed it. James Burges said, that he saw the three Indians before mentioned on their return from St. May’s and was headed towards Pensacola. They were loaded with goods, the plunder of Robert Seagrove’s store, and had with them the scalps of Captain Fleming and Mr. Moffit. Burges said, he firmly believed that the Governor of Pensacola, and Panton were the means of having them murdered, and robbed. James Burges acknowledged that his brother-in-law an Indian was one of the party at Trader’s Hill, but denied that his own son was there.

Murder of friendly Indians.
It is with the greatest regret that the painful task is left me to inform your Excellency of the most perfidious and wanton murder, committed on the 28th., ultimo, by some of the militia, of this state, on a hunting party of friendly Indians; Tuskatchee Mico, or the White-bird-tail king, with six warriors, arrived at this post yesterday, about noon, and informed me that, on the 28th., ultimo, as they were quietly encamped, some where on the little river, a party of about three white men came unarmed into their encampment, where they met with a friendly reception, and experienced acts of hospitality from the savages; such as eating with them, that they then went away; but soon after returned with arms, and fired on the helpless encampment, by which means two Indians were killed. The unfortunate fate of these two Indians is more peculiarly offensive, to the savages, as they were all of the Cussetah town.
Many of the chiefs of the Creeks and other nations give satisfaction to the white’s for any murders committed by that nation in the hope of keeping peace with their ( father ), the President.
Parts of litters of Benjamin Hawkins, Creek Agency, 1812.
A distinguished chief was sent yesterday to inform me, that they had put to death the leader of the banditti who murdered Lott. He fled to the white town of Aobohealth Le Mico, Great medal chief; sat down on his seat as a sanctuary; the learder of the armed party pursued and shot him on the seat, through the head and body.
Being on the road I have just time to inform you, That the Indian who killed Meredith, at Kittome was put to death on the 19th., making in all, five executed on demand for satisfaction.
The chiefs have had six murderers put to death, for their crimes on the post road and to the northwest, and seven cropped ( hair cut ) and whipped for thefts. One of those, Hillaubee Haujo, who was the leader of the banditti who committed the murders on Duck river, was, after, long search after him, decoyed to the old council house, at the hickory ground, put to death on the 21, and thrown into Coosa river.
Cherokee Nation, Major King & Daniel Carmichael’s report of June 12, 1793.
At the appearance of day light this morning, Captain John Beard, with his company of mounted infantry, to our great surprise made an attack on the Indians at the Hanging Maw’s. They have killed Scantee, Fool Charley, the Hanging Maw’s wife, Betty, the daughter of Kittakiska, and we believe eight or nine others, among them William Rosebury, a white man, the Hanging Maw shot through the arm, Betty, the daughter of Nancy Ward, wounded. The fire of this inhuman party seemed to be directed at the white
People who were there as much as at the Indians therefore, we made our escape through it as quick as possible, and cannot give a minute account of the whole of the damage. By hard pleading, we got them to spare the rest of the Hanging Maw’s family, and his house from being burnt.

At the appearance of day light on the 29th., instant, a numerous party of Indians made an attack on Henry’s station. Their real number cannot be known, and the opinions differ on that head from one hundred to three hundred. Lieutenant Tedford and another man had gone out to a cornfield when the firing commenced, at which they attempted to run to the station, but got among the Indians unexpectedly. The Lieutenant was took prisoner, carried about one hundred and fifty yards, and put to death, his body mangled in a most inhuman manor. The other man fortunately made his escape, and ran to a neighboring station from whence all the adjacent frontier was alarmed.

1863.
At Carrollton, Ark., about 65 miles east of Fayetteville, on the 9th instant, I saw a body of Federal cavalry, part of Totten's brigade, and I put this number at about 1,000. They have murdered every Southern man that could be found, old age and extreme youth sharing at their hands the same merciless fate. Old Samuel Cox and his son (fourteen years old), Saul Gatewood, Heal Parker, and Captain Duvall, of Missouri, were a part of those they murdered in Carroll.
On the border, both in Arkansas and Missouri, they are murdering every Southern man going north or coming south. West of Cassville, in Barry County, a first lieutenant (Robert H. Christian) of the Missouri militia committed one of the most diabolical, cold blooded murders that I heard of during my trip. Four old citizens of that county had gone to the brush, fearing that by remaining at home they would be murdered. Their names were Asa Chilcutt (who was recruiting for the C. S. Army), Elias Price, Thomas Dilworth, and Lee Chilcutt. Asa Chilcutt was taken very sick, and sent for Dr. Harris, a Southern man. The doctor came as requested, and, while there, this man Christian and 17 other militia came suddenly upon their camp. Lee Chilcutt made his escape. The others were captured, and disposed of as follows: Asa Chilcutt, the sick man, was shot to death while lying on his pallet unable to move. He was shot some six or seven times by this leading murderer, Christian. They marched the others 150 yards to a ridge, and not heeding their age or prayers for mercy, which were heard by the citizens living near by they shot and killed the doctor and the others, all of them being shot two or three times through the head and as many more times through the body. They (the Federals) then left them, and, passing a house near by, told the lady that they
"had killed four old bucks out there, and if they had any friends they had better bury them." This man Christian also tried to hire two ladies, with sugar, coffee, &c., to poison Southern men lying in the brush. Christian proposed furnishing the poison and also the subsistence, and would pay them well if they accepted his proposition. The names of the ladies are Rhoda Laton and Mrs. Simms, and every word of all the above can be proven in every particular. I have given you the above narrative of Christian's acts at the request of the public living in that section. They look to you as the avenger of their wrongs.
I have the honor to be, general, your most obedient servant,
JOSEPH G. PEEVY,
Captain Co. B, Hunter's Regiment.

Within the last two week and since I had a conversation with you a band of rebels, calling themselves Forrest's men, have arrested and carried form their homes four or our est, most peaceable, and quiet citizens, and brutally murdered them in cold blood without the slightest provocation--Mr. B. A. Crawford, age FIFTY years, and William Bowlin, age FIFTY-five years, of Weakley County, Tenn. ; John C. Huddleston, age FIFTY- two years, and William Hurst, age eighteen years, the latter of McNairy County, Tenn.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Eastport, February 1, 1865.
General J. B. HOOD, C. S. Army,
Commanding Confederate Forces:
GENERAL: On the evening of the 1st November, 1864, while the U. S. forces under the command of Major-General Howard, known as the Army and Department of the Tennessee, were near Powder Springs, Ga., three enlisted men belonging to that command were captured by a band of guerrillas commanded by a captain, and two of them brutally murdered in cold blood by those guerrillas, and the other one shot at twice and was wounded each time, but succeeded in making his escape, and has made sworn statements as to the manner of death of his comrades, with the additional statement that the rebel captain informed him that he would kill all Federal prisoners captured by his command.
The names of the men who were captured are as follows: Corpsl. Charles E. Ellis, Privates George Ford and Joseph Phillips. The corporal was killed instantly; the other two were taken ten miles in the country and then were shot at by a party of these guerrillas. At the first volley Private Ford was murdered, and while Phillips was wounded another volley was fired which again wounded Private Phillips, who then ran and jumped down a bank into a stream of water, where he concealed himself until the guerrillas left and then came into our lines. This statement is forwarded by Brigadier-General Woods, commanding a division in Major-General Howard's army, with the recommendation that Private Milton Dotson, of Ferguson's command (Perrins' regiment), be either shot or hung in retaliation for one of the murdered Union soldiers, which recommendation met the approval of Major-General Howard in these words:
Private Dotson has been sent as a prisoner of war to Chattanooga. i would respectfully recommend that he be shot in retaliation for the cold- blooded murder of Private George Ford, Company G, Sixth Iowa Cavalry, herein described, and that action be published so as to come to the notice of parties interested.
I have the honor to inform you that the prisoner Dotson is now under guard at Louisville, Ky. The papers in this case have been returned go General Howard with the information that the prisoner is held subject to his disposal, and will be sent to him on his application.
Terre Haute, June 18, 1863.

1862.
Andrew Allsman, was a man upward of sixty years of age, taken his family and murdered.
1863.
Shortly after having assumed command of this post I made it my duty to ascertain the number of Indians in this vicinity. Above the fort, on Trinity as far up as the South Fork, fourteen miles, there were about 75 fighting Indians and 150 squaws and children. Below the fort, on Trinity River, to the Kamath, eight miles, there are 155 fighting bucks and 350 squaws and children. Indians from this valley are joining small roving bands of Redwood and Mad River Indians. We have conclusive evidence that Madam Weaver and Merrick were murdered by Indians belonging to a ranch about seven miles above this post, at the mouth of Willow Creek, where it empties into the Trinity. Two of these Indians were captured, and, endeavoring to escape, were killed. One of them confessed before he died of being at Madam Weaver's murder.
HEADQUARTERS JACKSONPORT, ARK.,

Men & Women Of Age. Civil War.
The names of the men and women here are citizens and of the military and from many states Union and Confederate. This information here is to help you get through that brick wall we all run into from time to time and maybe lead you in other direction in your family research. Most of this information will come from the ( Official records of the Civil War) I will add more information from other sources when I can.
Note. Many of these men & women were either prisoners or war or were arrested. This page however is not about prisoners of war, or being arrested. These names are here because of all the good information they have to offer, like where they were born, age, family life and State, County and were they came from. But take note if they were arrested or taken prisoner as this too is important information as well.
Note. The information for this page comes from the official records of the Civil War who’s records are housed at the Ohio State University.

Arkansas.
1. I am informed in your military service as guides and spies two free negroes, James Hall and Jesse Turner. Their families were residing on the north side of White River and their houses, as I was officially informed a few days since by my scouts, were a rendezvous for your troops engaged in military operations in this direction. Necessity required that I should break up immediately this place of aid, comfort and information to your scouts. Consequently I ordered all the members of both families to be removed to the rear of my lines. Their names are as follows Rachel Turner, sister of James Hall, age 55, and her sons, Joel, age 14, and James, age 11; Cynthia Turner, wife of Jesse Turner, age 28, and her children, Love, age 6, Salina, age 4, and Sarah, age 2. I do not retain these people as prisoners of war. No guards are placed over them and they are supplied with subsistence from my commissary department. I am anxious that they should be transferred within your lines.
927. If minors present themselves they are to be treated with great candor. The names and residences of their parents, or guardians, if they have any, must be ascertained, and these will be informed of the minor's wish to enlist, that they may make their objections or give their consent.
929. Any free white male person above the age of eighteen and under thirty-five years a, being at least five feet three inches high, effective, able-bodied, sober, free from disease, of good character and habits, and with a competent knowledge of the English language, may be enlisted. This regulation, so far as respects the height and age of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians or to soldiers who may "re-enlist," or have served honestly and faithfully a previous enlistment in the Army.
931. No person under the age of eighteen years is to be enlisted or re-enlisted without the written consent of his parent, guardian, or master. Recruiting officers must be very particular in ascertaining the true age of the recruit.
933. If the recruit be a minor under eighteen b years of age, his parent, guardian, or master must sign a consent to his enlisting, which will be added to the preceding declaration, in the following form:
I, ---- ----, do certify that I am the (father, only surviving parent, legal master, or guardian, as the case may be) of ---- -- --; that the said ---- ---- is -- years of age; and I do hereby freely give my consent to his enlisting as a soldier in the Army of the United States for the period of five c years.
2. John S. Poulson, allowed in March, 1864. He was a son of a citizen of Accomaac County, resident within the lines of the enemy, represented at that time to be sixteen years of age, and satisfactorily shown by medical testimony to be a victim of epilepsy, of weak intellect and physical disability. It was sought to restore him to his father's care, and a passport was given him to pass by the boat bearing flag of truce.
3. Henry Grant, a youth of sixteen years of age, on the 24th of September, 1864, the son of a most estimable and loyal citizen in this city. He was stated to be backward in his studies and so diverted by the incidents and distractions of the times as to make his application almost hopeless. His uncle, formerly an officer of our Army, now residing in England in the prosecution of business important to the Department, had offered to receive him and see to his proper training and education. This passport was allowed December 6, 1864, on the understanding, however, that should the war continue he should be liable to recall on attaining military age. I am not positively informed whether his passport has been used, but presume it has been.
4. William Hurst. Twenty years of age; a native of Fairfax where his father resides. No proof of anything to justify his detention. I believe John Hurst was his father and mother was Elizabeth, brothers and sister were Andrew, John J., and J. E. Hurst.
5. Henry Kernoll-Sixty-nine years of age; native of New York; has resided twelve years in Fairfax County; owns 223 acres of land; has a pass from S. S. Tompkins, Army of the Potomac, which I in clouse. He says that Tompkins is one of our officers. If so, I think he ought to be discharged.
6. Dwight J. Partello. -Native of New Jersey; twenty years of age; was engaged selling newspapers from Richmond at Manassas when he was arrested. His father lives in Maryland, but is, he says, from New Orleans. He has two sisters married and residing in Richmond, one of whom was before me. No charge against him. He was at once time employed in the laboratory here, under-Smith, and honorably discharged. Took the oath of allegiance. I see no reason to detain him.
7. Simon Schermerhorn.-Native of New York; forty-five years of age; a cripple, for aught that appears before me his arrest and confinement were cruel. He was arrested near Yorktown by a guard and never examined. He has some children here and some in New York, and some property there. Prefers to remain in Virginia if he can do so without losing his property at the North.
8. Benjamin Kimball.-Fifty-five years of age; native of Maine; resident of New Market, Elizabeth City County; married and has four children. His wife was a widow with children, and one of her sons, a Virginian, in our army. Belvin married his daughter; an oysterman; took the oath of allegiance; no charge against him. I think he ought to be discharged.
9. Ludwig Hesse.-A German; forty-one years of age; came to America in 1849; naturalized citizen. Took the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States. Has been confined six weeks. A resident of Martinsburg, where he has property. I think he is a fair man, and was arrested in part because of a personal quarrel and in part because of the prejudice against foreigners. I think he should be discharged.

His father is a claim agent residing in Alexandria County, about four miles from Washington. He was on a visit to his father when the Federal picket retreated, and he was captured by our picket. I see no reason for detaining him.
17. George W. Mangold. - Born in Hardy County, Va.; is twenty-eight years of age. Says he is a secessionist and goes with Wirginia and the Confederate States. Says his brother Henry joined the home guard. Prisoner says he never did. He was urged by his father-in law and others to do so and to satisfy his father-in-law he went one day to the camp of the guard at Shell's. He found they were a rascally set, committing thefts and robberies on the citizens opposed to them, and intendent to support the Northern army. He made his escape. Says he is willing to take the oath of allegience to the Confederate States. Says he wishes to go into service in Harness' regiment. Wilthite says in his deposition; Mangold was with them eight or ten days, when he returned home dissatisfied with his captain for threatening to punish him for leaving without permission. I recommend this man be discharged on taking the oath of allegiance, and as he has expressed the wish to serve in Harness' regiment, now with General Jackson, near Winchester, I recommend he be sent there.
Note. George Washington Mangold, Married Caroline ( Sites ) Mangold, in 1850.

C., where they now reside; that his father is a clergy man in that place; that he (Smedes) as the age of sixteen went to Saint James College, near Hagerstown, Md., where, excepting vacations spent withi his parents, he remained four years; that he the for three years attended a theological seminary in the city of New York, on leaving which in June, 1860, he commenced to officiate with the Rev. Dr. Cleveland Coxe, an Episcopal clergyman at Baltimore, with whom he remained until December 13, 1861; that for some time he has been desirous of joining his parents in Raleigh, N. C., and had with this view made application to the honorable Secretary of State for a passport which he did not succeed in procuring; that he then determined to make the attempt without such passport and take his chances of eluding the blockading flotill and military authorities of the United States; that he accordingly proceeded through Maryland to the river Potomac, and with three other persons attempted to cross it in a boat from Cedar Point, when he, with two of those persons, was arrested by a boat's crew from the cutter Howell Cobb; at 12. 30 a. m. January 11 was taken to the cutter, searched by Captain Frank, transferred to the Island Belle, thence to Colonel Graham's headquarters at Indian Head, thence successively t othe Wyandank, Harriet Lane and Yankee, on board of which latter he was taken to the navy-yard, whence he was sent by Captain Dahlgren to this office.
STATE OF VIRGINIA, York County, 1861.
19. This day Ann Maria Hopkins, of said county, but late of Elizabeth City County, Va., personally appeared before me, B. F. Smith, a justice of the peace in and for said county, and made oath that in the latter part of May, 1861, and after the said county of Elizabeth City had been invade by the Federal troops, she was on Fox Hill, in said county of Elizabeth City, at the house of one William P. Phillips; that one Robert Wood, of said county, who married the daughter of said William P. Phillips, came to the said house from the residence of one John P. Topping on Fox Hill and stated that he had seen about 100 Yankees at saint Topping's; that he heard they were there and that he had gone on that day to see what they had to say; that he exhibited a pass which he said an officer of the Federal troops had given him to got where the pleased; that he had on that day promised to prepare for them (the Federal troops) a map or chart of the country in that neighborhood, and that on the same day he did prepare a map or chart of Fox Hill with all the roads and houses of prominent citizens marked on it; that he folded it up and put it in his pocket and said he intended to give it to the Federal troops.
20. Albert Fuller. -Native of Cabell County, Va. ; aged eighteen; an unruly boy. His farther and brothers Unionists. Albert Fuller was passing the house of Henry Shelton, a secessionist, armed with a musket and bayonet going in the direction of the federal forces at Barboursville in company with another youth. W. Ward is the other youth. W. Ward is the other youth. Shelton took the gun from him. Fuller went on to Barboursville, and a company of Ziegler's U. S. cavalry were sent to arrest Shelton. The boy who was with him went back to Fuller's farther. Fuller's father and brother came on to Shelton's and killed him before Ziegler's cavalry arrived. Fuller's brother went to Ziegler's camp and thence to Ohio. His father was killed by a son of Shelton. I think Fuller ought not to be discharged but from the imperfection of the testimony I cannot advise where he should be sent for trial. I think he was the cause of Shelton's death and ought in some way to be brought to justice either by the State or Confederate authorities; but the seat of justice of the Confederate States for this district (Charleston, Kanswha County) and the committing of the offense are both in the possession of the enemy. I would suggest the propriety of an act of the Legislature of Virginia authorizing the trail in some other county. Witnesses examined, Peters, Poteet, Beekman, Wilson.
Note. Many of these men & women were either prisoners or war or were arrested. This page however is not about prisoners of war, or being arrested.

Arkansas.
1. I am informed in your military service as guides and spies two free negroes, James Hall and Jesse Turner. Their families were residing on the north side of White River and their houses, as I was officially informed a few days since by my scouts, were a rendezvous for your troops engaged in military operations in this direction. Necessity required that I should break up immediately this place of aid, comfort and information to your scouts. Consequently I ordered all the members of both families to be removed to the rear of my lines. Their names are as follows Rachel Turner, sister of James Hall, age 55, and her sons, Joel, age 14, and James, age 11; Cynthia Turner, wife of Jesse Turner, age 28, and her children, Love, age 6, Salina, age 4, and Sarah, age 2. I do not retain these people as prisoners of war. No guards are placed over them and they are supplied with subsistence from my commissary department. I am anxious that they should be transferred within your lines.
927. If minors present themselves they are to be treated with great candor. The names and residences of their parents, or guardians, if they have any, must be ascertained, and these will be informed of the minor's wish to enlist, that they may make their objections or give their consent.
929. Any free white male person above the age of eighteen and under thirty-five years a, being at least five feet three inches high, effective, able-bodied, sober, free from disease, of good character and habits, and with a competent knowledge of the English language, may be enlisted. This regulation, so far as respects the height and age of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians or to soldiers who may "re-enlist," or have served honestly and faithfully a previous enlistment in the Army.
931. No person under the age of eighteen years is to be enlisted or re-enlisted without the written consent of his parent, guardian, or master. Recruiting officers must be very particular in ascertaining the true age of the recruit.
933. If the recruit be a minor under eighteen b years of age, his parent, guardian, or master must sign a consent to his enlisting, which will be added to the preceding declaration, in the following form:
I, ---- ----, do certify that I am the (father, only surviving parent, legal master, or guardian, as the case may be) of ---- -- --; that the said ---- ---- is -- years of age; and I do hereby freely give my consent to his enlisting as a soldier in the Army of the United States for the period of five c years.
2. John S. Poulson, allowed in March, 1864. He was a son of a citizen of Accomaac County, resident within the lines of the enemy, represented at that time to be sixteen years of age, and satisfactorily shown by medical testimony to be a victim of epilepsy, of weak intellect and physical disability. It was sought to restore him to his father's care, and a passport was given him to pass by the boat bearing flag of truce.
3. Henry Grant, a youth of sixteen years of age, on the 24th of September, 1864, the son of a most estimable and loyal citizen in this city. He was stated to be backward in his studies and so diverted by the incidents and distractions of the times as to make his application almost hopeless. His uncle, formerly an officer of our Army, now residing in England in the prosecution of business important to the Department, had offered to receive him and see to his proper training and education. This passport was allowed December 6, 1864, on the understanding, however, that should the war continue he should be liable to recall on attaining military age. I am not positively informed whether his passport has been used, but presume it has been.
4. William Hurst. Twenty years of age; a native of Fairfax where his father resides. No proof of anything to justify his detention. I believe John Hurst was his father and mother was Elizabeth, brothers and sister were Andrew, John J., and J. E. Hurst.
5. Henry Kernoll-Sixty-nine years of age; native of New York; has resided twelve years in Fairfax County; owns 223 acres of land; has a pass from S. S. Tompkins, Army of the Potomac, which I in clouse. He says that Tompkins is one of our officers. If so, I think he ought to be discharged.
6. Dwight J. Partello. -Native of New Jersey; twenty years of age; was engaged selling newspapers from Richmond at Manassas when he was arrested. His father lives in Maryland, but is, he says, from New Orleans. He has two sisters married and residing in Richmond, one of whom was before me. No charge against him. He was at once time employed in the laboratory here, under-Smith, and honorably discharged. Took the oath of allegiance. I see no reason to detain him.
7. Simon Schermerhorn.-Native of New York; forty-five years of age; a cripple, for aught that appears before me his arrest and confinement were cruel. He was arrested near Yorktown by a guard and never examined. He has some children here and some in New York, and some property there. Prefers to remain in Virginia if he can do so without losing his property at the North.
8. Benjamin Kimball.-Fifty-five years of age; native of Maine; resident of New Market, Elizabeth City County; married and has four children. His wife was a widow with children, and one of her sons, a Virginian, in our army. Belvin married his daughter; an oysterman; took the oath of allegiance; no charge against him. I think he ought to be discharged.
9. Ludwig Hesse.-A German; forty-one years of age; came to America in 1849; naturalized citizen. Took the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States. Has been confined six weeks. A resident of Martinsburg, where he has property. I think he is a fair man, and was arrested in part because of a personal quarrel and in part because of the prejudice against foreigners. I think he should be discharged.
Prison: Camp Douglas.

11. Harriet Redd, born in Wayne County, Miss. ; about twenty-four years of age; has lived the greater part of her life in Pike County, Ala. ; her parents live in Wayne County, Miss. ; two years and a half since she removed with her husband to Pike County, Ala., where she remained till her husband joined the Confederate Army, last January, and was taken prisoner with him at Island Numbers 10, while an invalid and has so continued and lives with her husband in this camp.

Uss Chesapeake Killed-Wounded & Halifax Prisoners
With the outbreak of the War of 1812, for which Chesapeake's encounter with HMS Leopard was one of a number of emotional preparations, Chesapeake was outfitted at Boston for a lengthy Atlantic cruise. Between 13 December 1812 and 9 April 1813, she ranged from the West Indies to Africa, taking as prizes five British merchantmen, and through skillful seamanship, evading the pursuit of a British 74.
At Boston, Captain James Lawrence took command of Chesapeake 20 May 1813, and on 1 June, put to sea to meet the waiting HMS Shannon (38), the crack frigate whose written challenge had just missed Chesapeake's sailing. During six minutes of firing, two full broadsides were fired. The Chesapeake was struck by 362 shots, while the Shannon was hit by 258. Chesapeake suffered early in the exchange of broadsides, having its wheel shot away so she lost maneuverability. Lawrence himself was mortally wounded and was carried below. The crew struggled to carry out their captain's last order, "Don't give up the ship!", but were overwhelmed. The battle lasted thirteen minutes, killing or wounding 252 men. Shannon's Captain Broke was severely injured in fighting on the forecastle. Chesapeake and her crew were taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia where the sailors were imprisoned; the ship was repaired and taken into service by the Royal Navy. She was sold at Portsmouth, England in 1820 and broken up. Surviving timbers were used to build the nearby Chesapeake Mill in Wickham and can be seen and visited to this day. Her mess kettle and an officer's chest may be seen at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The figurehead for Chesapeake was formerly located outside the main admin offices of Olau Line in the old Royal Naval Dockyard of Sheerness, but was damaged by the Medway Ports Authority during a move in 1991.
Over my years of researching I have not seen a full list of men from the Chesapeake in one place now there will be. I will have to say in all fairness to this list that there are no full list of the roster that I know of, this list well be of those that were killed, wounded or taken to Halifax prison, as far as this researcher knows there is no list of the men not either killed, wounded or taken prisoner.

Note. Although there is no proof that Joseph Judy, was killed on the Frigate Chesapeake, and is not on any list of those killed, wound or prisoner, its important to show as much of a full record as possible.
The age of Joseph Judy, at the time of his enlistment or death, is not certainly ascertained, he was not a minor, but over the age of twenty-one years. Joseph entered the Naval service at Boston as a carpenter’s mate, on board the frigate Chesapeak, in April of 1813, and was killed in the engagement between that vessel and the Shannon. His mother Elizabeth Whitehead alleges that she is old, poor and unable to take care of herself as a widow. She states that her son, had been sending part of his pay for her support, and is now asking for a pension. However there is no proof that her son left no widow, and she showing no proof of his supporting her, therefore her pension can not be granted at this time.

At Boston, Captain James Lawrence took command of Chesapeake 20 May 1813, and on 1 June, put to sea to meet the waiting HMS Shannon (38), the crack frigate whose written challenge had just missed Chesapeake's sailing. During six minutes of firing, two full broadsides were fired. The Chesapeake was struck by 362 shots, while the Shannon was hit by 258. Chesapeake suffered early in the exchange of broadsides, having its wheel shot away so she lost maneuverability. Lawrence himself was mortally wounded and was carried below. The crew struggled to carry out their captain's last order, "Don't give up the ship!", but were overwhelmed. The battle lasted thirteen minutes, killing or wounding 252 men. Shannon's Captain Broke was severely injured in fighting on the forecastle. Chesapeake and her crew were taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia where the sailors were imprisoned; the ship was repaired and taken into service by the Royal Navy. She was sold at Portsmouth, England in 1820 and broken up. Surviving timbers were used to build the nearby Chesapeake Mill in Wickham and can be seen and visited to this day. Her mess kettle and an officer's chest may be seen at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The figurehead for Chesapeake was formerly located outside the main admin offices of Olau Line in the old Royal Naval Dockyard of Sheerness, but was damaged by the Medway Ports Authority during a move in 1991.
Over my years of researching I have not seen a full list of men from the Chesapeake in one place now there will be. I will have to say in all fairness to this list that there are no full list of the roster that I know of, this list well be of those that were killed, wounded or taken to Halifax prison, as far as this researcher knows there is no list of the men not either killed, wounded or taken prisoner.

Note. Although there is no proof that Joseph Judy, was killed on the Frigate Chesapeake, and is not on any list of those killed, wound or prisoner, its important to show as much of a full record as possible.
The age of Joseph Judy, at the time of his enlistment or death, is not certainly ascertained, he was not a minor, but over the age of twenty-one years. Joseph entered the Naval service at Boston as a carpenter’s mate, on board the frigate Chesapeak, in April of 1813, and was killed in the engagement between that vessel and the Shannon. His mother Elizabeth Whitehead alleges that she is old, poor and unable to take care of herself as a widow. She states that her son, had been sending part of his pay for her support, and is now asking for a pension. However there is no proof that her son left no widow, and she showing no proof of his supporting her, therefore her pension can not be granted at this time.

The American Forts Of Old P. 3
When you read the first two pages you got a lot of insight on the construction and the repairing of these forts, we found there was not always a lot of money to keep the work going and when there was funds it was slow coming. The work would come to a stop, some times because of sickness and storms, but in the end, these hardy men got the job done. Page two left off in the year of 1836, page three will take up again in 1836,and will end in 1838, But this will not be the end, I will be adding links to some maps to a few forts these should be of real interest to those of you who are researching forts. I will also be adding a list of all the fort names I can find, this too should be of a real interest to you fort researchers.
Important Note. On opening any of these address you will find a enlarging box in the lower right hand corner of the page just move your arrow around the box will come up then just push on it.
Fort Adams, Narraganset Roads, Rhode Island.
In a report of 1837, it states, Most of the excavation and embankments, both rock and earth, and a grate portion of the masonry, have been completed, and progress has been made in flooring, partitioning, and plastering the casements along the face of the northeast bastion. There yet remain to be finished portions of the glacis and of the earthen parapets, a small part of the scarps of the north and the west fronts, the remainder of the parade wall, al the breast height-walls, part of the permanent wharf above the water, the interior of the quarters and store-rooms, the gun platforms, and a considerable portion of the redoubt.
Note. The meaning of:
Redoubt, A temporary fortification built to defend a position such as a hilltop.
Glacis, a slope in front of a fortification designed to make it easier to fire on attacking forces.
Parapets, a bank of earth, rubble, or sandbags piled up along the edge of a military trench for protection from enemy fire.
Scarp, a steep slope, for example, the inner wall of a ditch, in front of a fortification.
Fort Calhoun, Hampton Roads, Virginia.
In a report in 1837, it stated, In Accordance with previous instructions, the remainder of the stone was this year nearly removed from the foundation of the work, preparation to commencing the masonry. A board of engineers appointed in September to inspect it, recommended however, in the strongest terms, on account of the continued subsidence, the reloading of the foundations, accordingly, with the sanction of the proper department, instructions to the effect were immediately issued, and the reloading is now in progress.
Castle William, New York.
In a report of 1837, it states, The sea has lately made encroachments upon the base of Castle William, which should be protected at an early day by a substantial sea wall. The old sea wall around the Island requires repairing; five thousand dollars would put it in a state of tolerable security. Stone for traverse circles, and Iron plates for the same, are yet wanted; and two wharves on Buttermilk channel require repair.
Fort Caswell, Oak Island, North Carolina.
The report of 1837, states, Since September 30, last 1,360 cubic yards masonry have been constructed, and 13,038 cubic yards of earth removed; the sheet piling has been driven around the foundations of two colonizers, and a considerable portion of the lead-roofing has been laid. The masonry constructed comprises the greater part of the counter forts and relieving arches intended to strengthen the scarp walls, the breast-height walls of the covered way of the gorge, and of face No.4, and he permanent tide lock. The effect of a storm in August last has been such as to prove conclusively the necessity of protecting the site of this fort from the sea abrasion, which has been progressing for several years.
In a report of January 8, 1838, it states, The site of Fort Caswell, Oak Island, North Carolina, is now exposed to destruction from the storm-waves and tides that are abrading the beach. The effects of a late gale were so perceptible as to cause considerable apprehension, unless timely measures were taken for its preservation.
Fort Coffee Arkansas River.
This information is way to long to put here however these address will take you to the information there will be three maps that goes with the information. The information talks of the land and more, this information is two pages long.

Fort Delaware, Delaware River.
In a report of 1837, it was stated, No exertion were spared to hasten this work the past year, so far as could advantageously be done. It was continued till suspended by the ice in December. Little however, was accomplished in consequence of the late appropriations; of the unusually high price of labor and materials of all kinds.
Driving piles for foundations, in consequence of the nature of the soil, these piles are of the grate length forty-five feet. A grate improvement has this season been introduced in the method of driving them, by the substitution of steam power for that of horses; more then fifteen piles per day, on an average, are driven with one pile-engine, which, when worked drove only three per day; it is found too, that from the continuous tremulous motion imparted by the engine, the pile can drive, not only with grater rapidity, but to a grater depth, without injury. The number of piles driven during the season, up to September 30, is 5,353, the work of about five months, commencing with one engine and never working more then three. The grate importance of this change becomes evident when it is considered that at the commencement of the season there were twelve thousand piles to drive. There are now driven the foundations for two fronts and the others are rapidly progressing.
Fort on Foster’s Bank, Florida.
The report of 1837, states, It was to have been completed in the month of October. Its site is now considered secure from any inroads of the sea, having been exposed in August last to a very server gale, from which it sustained no injury. Several parts of the work, subject to the pressure of the arches, have been increased in their dimensions, and the terreplein covered with a terrace of masonry nine inches thick. Twelve rooms have been fitted up in the casemates for officers quarters, and six large ones for the soldiers.
Fort Independence, Boston Harbor, New York.
In a report of 1837, it states, About one hundred and thirty mechanics and laborers have been employed during the past season at this work; eight thousand one hundred and seventy-two cubic yards of masonry have been laid, comprising the foundation of the scarp walk along two whole fronts, and part of two others; the superstructure of the same in part completed along two fronts, and twenty of the piles of the casemates on the channel fronts nearly completed. The embrasures of on the channel fronts are finished.
Fort King, Florida.
In a report of 1836, it was said, A detachment of regulars and volunteers has just arrived at Fort King from Fort Brooke, and will remain till further orders. Brigadier General Clinch or the command officer will immediately hire or employ any suitable boats which are found at or near Payne’s landing, to be sent down with a sufficient detachment to receive at Picolata, or if met, from a steamer which will be dispatched to the mouth of the Ocklawaha, the subsistence which will be wanted at Fort King.
Fort Livingston, Grande Terre, Louisiana.
The report of 1837, states, Operations have been suspended at this work during the last year for want of an officer to superintend it. A keeper and one man are employed to take care of the public property and make sundry small improvements near the site of the work.
Fort McHenry, Baltimore harbor, Maryland.
In a report of 1837, states, The parapet of the fort has been strengthened by a brick revetment wall, the scarp wall has been thoroughly repaired, the quarters new floored, painted and roofed, an additional battery nearly completed, one thousand three hundred feet of the sea wall built, and fifteen acres of land purchased.
Note. Meaning of:
Parapet, A bank of earth, rubble, or sandbags piled up along the edge of a military trench for protection from enemy fire.
Fort Mifflin, Delaware River, Pennsylvania.
In a report of 1837, it was stated, The present year a gun-shed has been erected, the terreplein of the fort has been graduated and graveled, pavements have been made about the quarters, some necessary outbuildings erected, and all the wood work of the building painted; a mess-house and mess-room are now fitting up, and on their completion, the fort will be ready to receive a garrison
Note. Meaning of:
Terreplein, a raised embankment or platform behind a parapet where heavy guns are positioned.
Fortifications in Charleston harbor, Fort Moultrie.
In the report of 1837, it states, The department having no officer at its disposal for the superintendence of these works, they have been suspended, with the exception of the labor for the preservation of the site of Fort Moultrie.
Fort Pulaski, Cockspur Island Georgia.
The report of 1837, states, The Operation at this fort, after preparations were completed in October 1836, consisted principally in laying masonry of the rampart, embanking the parade, preservation of the Island on the north and northeast shore by a breakwater and catch-sand, and constructing the permanent dikes of the Island; The masonry have been laid in completing all the embrasures and piers, masonry have been laid in completing all the embrasures and piers north and northeast fronts; completion generally of piers and embrasures, walls &c., of the gorge, to the level of the bottom of casement floors, construction of the breakwater and permanent dikes.
Fort Schuyler, Throg’s Neck, East river, New York.
In a report of 1837, it states, By the purchase of a second steam boat and other auxiliaries, operation have been greatly facilitated at this work, and are now making very satisfactory progress. The sea wall has been finished, with the exception of a small part of the coping, the foundations of a considerable portion of the scarp and counter scarp walls and piles of casements laid, and the superstructure commenced. The grater part of the embankment of the glacis and part of the rampart of the cover face have been formed.
Fort Smith, Arkansas.
In a report of 1838, it was stated, Fort Smith is situated on the south side of the Arkansas river, and is immediately below the mouth of the Poteru. The river at this point runs north ten degrees east for several miles. The ground which is best calculated for a military site is about fifty or sixty feet above the low-water mark. There is from this point a handsome view of the river, and the site, in a military point of view, is naturally good. The highland around Fort Smith, as well as the river bottom, contains pools of standing water. The best timber, for miles around the place, has been cut. Stone can be procured in the river by blasting.
Note. Here is a map showing Fort Smith.
http://memory.loc.gov/ll/llsp/022/0900/09950000.gif
Fort Warren, Boston harbor, Massachusetts.
The report of 1837, states, Operations were resumed at this work the first of April. The average force employed has been two hundred and forty mechanics and laborers. Up to September 20, there had been laid nine thousand four hundred and seventy-eight cubic yards of stone work, in pies and scarp walls; and two thousand seven hundred and fifty-five cubic yards of brick-work, containing 1,781,000bricks; eight hundred and fifty running feet of scarp wall have been carried up sixteen feet above the ditch it along the two channel fronts, and part of another; the piers and arches of nineteen casemates are completed, twelve of which are thirty feet span, and seven smaller. The piers of the other casemates are so far advanced that all the arches for the two channel fronts may be completed the next year.
Note. This is the end of the construction and repairing reports but not the end of the information. Below you will find Fort maps and a list of fort names.

A board of engineers appointed in September to inspect it, recommended however, in the strongest terms, on account of the continued subsidence, the reloading of the foundations, accordingly, with the sanction of the proper department, instructions to the effect were immediately issued, and the reloading is now in progress.
Castle William, New York.
In a report of 1837, it states, The sea has lately made encroachments upon the base of Castle William, which should be protected at an early day by a substantial sea wall. The old sea wall around the Island requires repairing; five thousand dollars would put it in a state of tolerable security. Stone for traverse circles, and Iron plates for the same, are yet wanted; and two wharves on Buttermilk channel require repair.
Fort Caswell, Oak Island, North Carolina.
The report of 1837, states, Since September 30, last 1,360 cubic yards masonry have been constructed, and 13,038 cubic yards of earth removed; the sheet piling has been driven around the foundations of two colonizers, and a considerable portion of the lead-roofing has been laid. The masonry constructed comprises the greater part of the counter forts and relieving arches intended to strengthen the scarp walls, the breast-height walls of the covered way of the gorge, and of face No.4, and he permanent tide lock. The effect of a storm in August last has been such as to prove conclusively the necessity of protecting the site of this fort from the sea abrasion, which has been progressing for several years.
In a report of January 8, 1838, it states, The site of Fort Caswell, Oak Island, North Carolina, is now exposed to destruction from the storm-waves and tides that are abrading the beach. The effects of a late gale were so perceptible as to cause considerable apprehension, unless timely measures were taken for its preservation.

Fort Delaware, Delaware River.
In a report of 1837, it was stated, No exertion were spared to hasten this work the past year, so far as could advantageously be done. It was continued till suspended by the ice in December. Little however, was accomplished in consequence of the late appropriations; of the unusually high price of labor and materials of all kinds.
Driving piles for foundations, in consequence of the nature of the soil, these piles are of the grate length forty-five feet. A grate improvement has this season been introduced in the method of driving them, by the substitution of steam power for that of horses; more then fifteen piles per day, on an average, are driven with one pile-engine, which, when worked drove only three per day; it is found too, that from the continuous tremulous motion imparted by the engine, the pile can drive, not only with grater rapidity, but to a grater depth, without injury. The number of piles driven during the season, up to September 30, is 5,353, the work of about five months, commencing with one engine and never working more then three. The grate importance of this change becomes evident when it is considered that at the commencement of the season there were twelve thousand piles to drive. There are now driven the foundations for two fronts and the others are rapidly progressing.
Fort on Foster’s Bank, Florida.
The report of 1837, states, It was to have been completed in the month of October. Its site is now considered secure from any inroads of the sea, having been exposed in August last to a very server gale, from which it sustained no injury. Several parts of the work, subject to the pressure of the arches, have been increased in their dimensions, and the terreplein covered with a terrace of masonry nine inches thick. Twelve rooms have been fitted up in the casemates for officers quarters, and six large ones for the soldiers.
Fort Independence, Boston Harbor, New York.
In a report of 1837, it states, About one hundred and thirty mechanics and laborers have been employed during the past season at this work; eight thousand one hundred and seventy-two cubic yards of masonry have been laid, comprising the foundation of the scarp walk along two whole fronts, and part of two others; the superstructure of the same in part completed along two fronts, and twenty of the piles of the casemates on the channel fronts nearly completed. The embrasures of on the channel fronts are finished.
Fort King, Florida.
In a report of 1836, it was said, A detachment of regulars and volunteers has just arrived at Fort King from Fort Brooke, and will remain till further orders. Brigadier General Clinch or the command officer will immediately hire or employ any suitable boats which are found at or near Payne’s landing, to be sent down with a sufficient detachment to receive at Picolata, or if met, from a steamer which will be dispatched to the mouth of the Ocklawaha, the subsistence which will be wanted at Fort King.
Fort Livingston, Grande Terre, Louisiana.
The report of 1837, states, Operations have been suspended at this work during the last year for want of an officer to superintend it. A keeper and one man are employed to take care of the public property and make sundry small improvements near the site of the work.
Fort McHenry, Baltimore harbor, Maryland.
In a report of 1837, states, The parapet of the fort has been strengthened by a brick revetment wall, the scarp wall has been thoroughly repaired, the quarters new floored, painted and roofed, an additional battery nearly completed, one thousand three hundred feet of the sea wall built, and fifteen acres of land purchased.

Fort Pulaski, Cockspur Island Georgia.
The report of 1837, states, The Operation at this fort, after preparations were completed in October 1836, consisted principally in laying masonry of the rampart, embanking the parade, preservation of the Island on the north and northeast shore by a breakwater and catch-sand, and constructing the permanent dikes of the Island; The masonry have been laid in completing all the embrasures and piers, masonry have been laid in completing all the embrasures and piers north and northeast fronts; completion generally of piers and embrasures, walls &c., of the gorge, to the level of the bottom of casement floors, construction of the breakwater and permanent dikes.
Fort Schuyler, Throg’s Neck, East river, New York.

The sea wall has been finished, with the exception of a small part of the coping, the foundations of a considerable portion of the scarp and counter scarp walls and piles of casements laid, and the superstructure commenced. The grater part of the embankment of the glacis and part of the rampart of the cover face have been formed.
Fort Smith, Arkansas.
In a report of 1838, it was stated, Fort Smith is situated on the south side of the Arkansas river, and is immediately below the mouth of the Poteru. The river at this point runs north ten degrees east for several miles. The ground which is best calculated for a military site is about fifty or sixty feet above the low-water mark. There is from this point a handsome view of the river, and the site, in a military point of view, is naturally good. The highland around Fort Smith, as well as the river bottom, contains pools of standing water. The best timber, for miles around the place, has been cut. Stone can be procured in the river by blasting.
Note. Here is a map showing Fort Smith.
