Here are some battle reports which gave their names.

Note. These will be only parts of the reports, if you would like a full report you can request one, my address can be found in my profile.

April 18 at 8.30 a.m. the division marched for Macon via Double Bridges and Thomaston, arriving and going into camp at East Macon on the evening of the 21st. The march was through a rich country and the distance marched ninety-eight miles. Here official information of the armistice between Generals Sherman and Johnston having been received, the campaign closed. The conduct of the officers and men during the campaign is deserving of the highest commendation. Whether mounted or dismounted, but one spirit prevailed, and that was to run over the enemy wherever found or whatever might be his numbers. Nothing but the impetuosity of the charges, whereby the enemy was not given time to defend himself, can account for the small list of casualties amounting to ninety-eight killed and wounded. In every conflict the troops actually engaged were vastly outnumbered.

At Ebenezer Church General Alexander routed Forrest's command with less than 1,000 men, while General Winslow carried the formidable works at Columbus with but 1,100. From the members of my staff-Bvt. Major James W. Latta, assistant adjutant-general; Captain Thomas C. Gilpin, acting aide-de-camp, Lieutenant J. Sloan Keck, acting aide-de-camp, and Lieutenant Peter R. Keck, ordnance officer-I received on all occasions prompt and gallant assistance. The division arrived at Macon in good fighting condition. I respectfully refer you to the accompanying reports of the brigade commanders in which the charges of the regiments under their command are minutely described; also mentioning the names of officers and men distinguishing themselves for gallantry and soldierly conduct.

In conclusion, I desire to ascribe the success of the division in the first degree to the zeal, energy, and ability displayed by Generals Winslow and Alexander, commanding First and Second Brigades. They have shown in every battle great skill andd gallantry, and, possessing in an eminent degree all the qualities of a cavalry officer, I respectfully urge their immediate promotion for the good of the service. In closed is a list of officers and men who have distinguished themselves and are entitled to promotion.

Resolved by this Assembly that the said Ezra Starr be and he is hereby authorized directed and enjoined within a reasonable Time to pay out of the personal Estate of the said Maj'' Daniel Starr Dec'' to Rachel Starr the Widow of the said Dec'' the Sum of three hundred Pounds lawful!

The Frontier Wars 1790-1796.

I have a new source for the militia, it covers the frontier wars, and covers the years of 1790-1796. The Indians were causing a lot of trouble at this time and for this reason the militia was on the frontier a lot. There were many militia regiments on the frontier at this time to many to put here. This page will be about one Kentucky regiment. Kentucky had many men on the frontier and like I stated to many to put here.

If you didn’t see a ancestor in this regiment, you can request a look up for a name, in the many other Kentucky regiments. My source covers many states and I will list them here so you well have a chance to find some information on your ancestor.

Note. As I have thousands & thousands of names at this web site, I must have the ( Title ) of this page for without the ( Title ), I may not be able to help you, My address can be found in my profile.

The index for my sources it covers the following States.

Colonel Thomas W. Sweeny & Private Murry.

Thomas William Sweeny.

Birth: Dec. 25, 1820
Death: Apr. 10, 1892
Photo provided by John "J-Cat" Griffith.

Civil War Union Brigadier General. Born in Ireland, he moved to America in 1832 and settled in New York City. He joined the Baxter Blues, militia company in 1843, his unit fought in the Mexican War and his right arm was amputated after being wounded. After he recuperated, he fought against Native Americans in the Southwest and on the Great Plains. When the Civil War began, he was stationed in St. Louis, Missouri and became Brigadier General of Missouri's volunteers. While fighting at Wilson's Creek, he was wounded, carried off the field and returned to action in January of 1863. He led troops at Fort Donelson, was wounded at Shiloh, fought at Corinth and led a division in the Atlanta Campaign. After the war, he remained in the Army and retired a Brigadier General of Regulars in May, 1870.

Colonel Sweeny, give a battle report on the operations of October 3-6, 1862, in this report he made this statement about private (? ) Murry.

Private Murray, of Company E, Fifty-second Illinois, when the regiment fell back from the redan, he refused to retire, saying "it was Colonel Sweeny's orders to hold the fort to the last." He was ordered by a rebel captain to surrender, and upon his refusing to do so was fired at and wounded in the captain's revolver; whereupon Murray shot him dead. He was then attacked by a private, whom he also dispatched. He brought off the captain's revolver as a trophy of his bravery. By this time our troops rallied, came to his rescue, and drove the rebels out of the redan.

Note. If you know who this Murry was I would like to know, so I can add the information to this page. My address can be found in my profile.

Update 11-15-2012.

I was given this information by Tood Theiste who I would like to thank.

He was Charles Murray, a 21 year-old, single, Irish-born laborer who was living in Rockford when he enlisted in Company E.  His exploits were described in a portion of the _New York Times_ article "Personals" published in the November 8, 1862 edition.  He died on January 8, 1864 at the army hospital in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

On October 4, the Fifty-second was posted to the battery's immediate south (left), with the rest of their division stretched along the railroad to their left.  After the division on the battery's right was swept away and the battery captured, the Confederates appeared behind the Fifty-second's right flank.  LTC John Wilcox then ordered the regiment to retreat--with the rest of the division following suit.  Falling back about 200 yards, the regiment (and division) rallied, lost their color bearer, and then counterattacked.  They recaptured the battery and used the battery's cannon to fire some rounds at the retreating Confederates.

In Rosecrans' after-action reports and press releases he castigated Davies Division for this retreat, as he happened to be nearby and saw it--having not seen any of their excellent fighting the rest of the battle.  As a result, it makes sense for the division's reports to highlight the valor and courage displayed by the men throughout the battle.  It worked too, for when the various reports came in, Rosecrans later apologized for his rash statements.

Learn To Think Outside The Box.

Many times when researching we find a pieces of information here and a piece there, then we try to put it all together, and a lot of times important information is left out. This is mostly because the ever day researcher, is made up of daughters, sons or grand-children looking into their family. The enemy for these researchers is time, most work or go to school during the day, and in the evenings,there are other family activities that cut down on their research time. As their time is short, they usually start with a surname, as we all do. But after finding little they are not to sure were to go from there.

They have yet learn how to think out side the “Box”, lets say for example his names is John Willis, and you found very little, where to you go from there, well try; John Willis Civil War, or any other wars he was in or any battles he may had been in. Try the registry of Deeds, Probate court, County genealogy societies, County Libraries, States Historical and County Historical societies, and the list goes on. You just have to learn to think out side the “Box.” And always remember to record where you found the information so you can back your information as fact, and if you can get a copy of the real document the better.

I know there are some that are saying, “But I can’t go to all those places.” That’s true many of us can’t but this is the computer age, and all the places can be found on the internet. Now that’s not to say you won’t have to send a few letters or pay a few fee’s but that goes with researching. Now to be fair I have been doing this for eight years and spend about sixteen hours a day on the computer, so I have learn to think out side the “Box,” Does this mean I learn it all?, far from it, I learn something new every day.

Below you will find two examples on Samuel Duffield, the first example well be the original information. The second example well be mine, now it’s true there is not a lot of information here. However with the added information I was able to add I make the document more important and interesting to read. Now too be fair to the original researcher, this may have been all the research they had, or they may have done some research but found nothing. That’s why it’s so important to learn to think out side the “Box.” By knowing were to look and by thinking outside the “Box,” I was able to find this added information in less then ten minutes.

[From MS. Records in Office of Secretary of State.]
Letter from Doctor S. Cooley to the Council of Safety.

Camp at Wilmington, July 13th, 1776.
Sir:
I beg the favor of you to let me know whether there is any provision made by Continental Congress for supplying the regiments in this Province with Medicines; I have hithertoo used my Own, but unless I have a new supply shall soon be out of some of the most principle Articles. I could have supplied myself had I been supplied with money, but the Pay master refuses to advance any money for that purpose. The consumption of medicines is very great; for 3 weeks Past I've had from 20 to 30 in the Hospital belonging to the 5th regiment. The sickly season is now coming on fast, and unless I'm speedily supplied I shall be distitute of such medicines as I find of most service here. I furthermore beg the favor of you, Sir, to let me know what a Surgeon's Pay is, how many rations he is allowed, whether there's any mate allowd, if so, what his Pay is to be, and who appoints Him. Your compliance will much oblige,
Sir Your most Obedient Huml Servant,
S. COOLEY.

GEN. LACKN. McINTOSH TO GOV. CASWELL.
[From Executive Letter Book.]
Sir:
I had the honor of writing to your Excellency the 9th January pr Lieut. Col. Dawson of your State which I hope you received. I am sorry I have to inform you the men of my Brigade here have suffered severely this winter for want of clothing and other necessaries. Fifty of them died in and about Camp since the beginning of Janry last, and near two hundred sick here now besides as many more reported sick absent in different Hospitals of this State and Jersey, a most distressing situation! and only Dr. McClure of the second Regiment to attend the whole of them until a few days ago. I fortunately got another young man, to assist him, but cannot tell how he will turn out yet.


I cannot with propriety or Justice on this occasion avoid complaining of Doctor Cooley of the 5th Regiment to his State, which I think he has been ungrateful to, and cannot help charging him with inhumanity, also in leaving so many of his brave Country men to perish without assistance. When I was first informed of him, I ordered him in the most positive terms to stay with the Brigades. He attempted to make a plea, that in consequence of a former order for the Staff of the six vacant Regiments to go home with the other officers, he had sent off his Baggage, therefore could not stay and at last went without leave, for which I stopt his pay for January February and an extra Bounty & 6 months given by Congress to the Army with General Washington's approbation, and dare say your Excellency will think with me, he deserves still further marks of Resentment from his Country.

This season produces nothing worth mentioning to you save little skirmishes between foraging parties of no account.
I hear Col. Shepperd's 10th Regiment is under Inoculation at George Town Maryland, but have no account from himself.
I have the honor to be respectfully
Your Excellency's most obedient servant,
LACKN. McINTOSH.

CAPT. WILLIS WILSON TO GOV. CASWELL.
[From Executive Letter Book.]

Caswell, Ocracock 26th June 1778.
Sir:
I sent a Pilot and Crew to Beaufort, after our Tender, and have received her at this place, but in a most wretched condition, in so much that she has drove from her anchors twice, and once had near been lost. I got her along side the Caswell, having her down to stop her leaks.

The enemy (one ship, two sloops and a brig) take a peep at us every now and then, but are not disposed to venture in. Some few arrivals since last I wrote your Excellency. The Pilots of Ocracock have finally stopped bringing in or carrying out vessels, having entered into an association to that purpose, the reasons they give me for this extraordinary step is, that having no branches, they are liable to a penalty for taking charge of any vessel, and that they will not take branches because the Legislature have rated their pilotage at too low a price, being all in a clan. I fear our trade will be hurt by the infamy of these people. Pursuant to your Excellency's recommendation I have wrote to Richd Ellis, Esqr., to know if he will accept the agency for the ship as our Crew are beginning to be taken down very fast with scurvies attended with fluxes, and fish (the only fresh provision to be got here) Doct Cooley does not approve of in the latter disorder. I hear there is fresh beef to be purchased at Marmashite (?) which will be much cheaper, as well more wholesome for the crew. I have wrote to Mr. Ellis for a Barrel Brown Sugar a bag coffee, a Hogshead Rum, and a ditto Molasses, being quite out of those articles; will be exceedingly obliged to your Excellency to hurry the paymaster with our money, as we are all destitute of that necessary article at present and the whole in great want.
I am your Excellency's mo. ob. Servt.
WILLIS WILSON.

P.S. I am distressed for Commissioned officers having only Mr. Cheshire the Master of the ship on Board at present and not another officer I can depend upon, as a seaman. If your Excellency knows of any, that would make a good second Lieut, will esteem it a favor if you'l commission him, otherwise please send a commission of Lieut. for Mr. Cheshire who is now Master and a good officer. Doctor Cooley waits on your Excellency, in want of medicines, he is an assiduous Gentleman in his duty to the sick; if Mr. Ellis declines to furnish us, I hope your Excellency will appoint, or order us the things wrote for to Mr. Ellis.
Your Excellency's ob. huml servt.

Dobbs 30th 1778.
Sir:
Your favor of the 26th Instant I have before me, am sorry the Tender was not delivered you in better fix. Capt. Easton informed me, that at the time he purchased her, she was much out of repair, but that he intended to have her properly overhauled and fixed.
Your Pilots I fear are not governed by the best principles in their combinations; they have other views, than honest men ought to have, but nothing can be done respecting them 'till the meeting of the Assembly.

I have written to Mr. Ellis from whom I received a letter on the subject of the agency of your ship. I imagine he will accept it and supply you whenever the pay master can be supplied with money. He shall be ordered to attend and pay off your Crew.
I sent you Commissions for all the officers you required from NewBern, and without information whether the persons who were named in them refused to accept them or have conducted themselves unworthily, I cannot think of snperceding their appointments.
I at present consider Dr. Cooley as a Surgeon in the service of the United States, if he is so, of course he cannot be appointed to your ship. However I shall lay your request regarding him before the Council who meet two days hence and inform you their Resolutions thereon.
I am Sir,
Your mo. ob. sesvt.

Sir:
Your letter of the 28th Inst. I received, in answer to which, I must observe that at present I consider you as a Surgeon in the service of the United States, if you are so, of course, you cannot receive the appointment now applied for, and in that case I recommend it to you to go on immediately to Head Quarters where Surgeons are much wanted and indeed were so when you left Camp. If you are discharged from that service, I shall glad to be informed, your letter shall be laid before the Council who meet two days hence and what resolution they take respecting the appointment and medicines you shall be informed of.

New Bern 28th July 1778.
Sir:
I left the Caswell at the Bar last Sunday, and got to this place yesterday, hoping to see your Excellency in Town. Doctr Cooley is desirous to know whether he is to be continued or not, in the Caswell, respecting which I will be proud to have orders, by the return of the bearer, I have lately been acquainted with Mrs. Wilson's being very unwell. Chief of my business to this place was to obtain leave of absence for a short time from your Excellency to pay her a visit, which I should not request on any other account but the above, I therefore hope to receive permissions from your Excellency by return. Mr. Cheshire, my Master, is a trusty Gentleman to whom I shall leave the charge during my absence, which shall be short. Shall be proud to know when the Paymaster may be expected, as I may have my pay rolls properly made out to the time. Nothing has happened at the Bar worth notice. I am with great respect, your Excellency's Ob. huml. Servt.

Lawman David J. Cook & Outlaw Lee H. Musgrove.

David J. Cook.

Birth: 1840 or 1842.
Death: Apr. 29, 1907, Denver, Denver County, Colorado.

David J. Cook, was a lawman although not as famous as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp and other legends of the Old West, David Cook attained prominence in his own right, for arresting more than 3,000 outlaws. Cook was born near La Porte, Indiana. Growing up, he worked as a farmhand before moving to Kansas in 1855, and then in 1859 to Gilpin County, Colorado, looking to prospect for gold. In 1861 he joined the First Colorado Cavalry, company D., he spent the war years hunting down Confederate spies, and smugglers. In 1866, Cook was appointed city marshal of Denver later worked as a federal marshal and private eye.

His success led him to found the "Rocky Mountain Detective Association", a freelance, volunteer-only group of Colorado troubleshooters, similar in character to the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Although its offices were in Denver, its cases took him all over the west. From 1866 to 1869. In 1867 & 1868, he started tracking down the dreaded Musgrove-Franklin Gang. Cook finely caught up with Lee H. Musgrove, in 1868, and put him behind bars. Cook lived by one simple credo: “Never hit a man over the head with a pistol, because afterwards you may want to use your weapon and find it disabled.”

He was absolutely fearless, an expert horseman, a master marksman with both rifle and handgun and had few pears. He never struck without cause and never hesitated to kill when necessary. A true peace officer of the Old West.

In 1882 Cook published a memoir titled Hands Up! or Twenty Years of Detective Work in the Mountains and on the Plains, either writing it himself or dictating it to another. It is rumored to have been ghostwritten by Thomas F. Dawson, editor of the Denver Times and personal secretary to Senator Henry Teller. Although a purported autobiography, it is written entirely in the third person. It remains the sole major source of knowledge about Cook's life and accomplishments.

Lee H. Musgrove, was a Mississippian, and ran a gang of road agents and livestock thieves noted for their barbarity. Musgrove settled in the 1850s in Napa, Calif., where he developed a reputation as a tough gunfighter. He was forced to flee California in 1863, after killing a man who disparaged the Confederacy. In Nevada, where Musgrove journeyed to next there he killed two more men. His next stop was Idaho Territory, where he operated as an Indian trader and dealer in stolen goods. While there he killed another man and was forced to move again. This time he headed for the Wyoming Territory, there he organized a gang of thieves and rustlers who ranged from Texas to Kansas, the gang was credited with at lest twelve murders.

David Cook came after the Musgrove gang and whittled their numbers down one by one, killing or arresting them. In 1868, Cook finally caught Musgrove in the Wyoming Territory, Musgrove was jailed in Denver Colo. Cook had took Musgrove to Denver in the hope he could lure Franklin, Musgrove’s partner in crime, an that Franklin would try and spring his partner from jail. Cook’s planed had work, Franklin did come to Denver, where Cook finally cornered Franklin in his room at the Overland Hotel. When Franklin reached for his gun Cook drilled him through the heart.

Musgrove had predicted that he would soon escape, words which ignited the community. On Nov. 23, 1868, a vigilance committee of some fifty citizens encountered no resistance from the prison guards as it removed Musgrove from confinement. Musgrove was stood on a wagon, a noose was placed about his neck, and the driver pushed away the wagon to bring about the execution. Before the wagon was removed from under Musgrove's feet, he was allowed time to write some letters, and he was permitted to finish his cigarette, which said one source he "did in the most nonchalant manner. "Another source says that Musgrove "calmly puffed a cigar to its bitter butt."

Almon W. Babbitt

Almon Whiting Babbitt

Birth: Oct. 9, 1812, Cheshire, Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
Death: Oct., 1856
Photo provided by Dale Clawson

Almon W. Babbitt was a leader in the early Mormon Church. He was the first Secretary and Treasurer of the Territory of Utah. He was killed in a raid by Cheyenne Indians near Prairie Creek, Nebraska in October of 1856. The next year his wife Julia Ann Johnson Babbitt and her brother Joel Hills Johnson went East to find out what happened. They came upon the site where the party were buried.

Quote from Joel Hills Johnson's diary. "Sunday 7th (June 1857) This Morning started early and nooned on Prairie Creek, near where A.W. Babbitt's train was broken up last fall by the Indians. We saw the graves where those that were killed were buried, but the wolves had dug them up and devoured them, for we saw their bones, hair, and grave clothes scattered about the ground. We camped for the night at the crossing of the creek."

A BILL
JANUARY 18, 1866.

For the relief of the administrators of the estate of the late Almon W. BabbItt, secretary of Utah.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the First Comptroller of the Treasury be required to ascertain and determine the amount and value of any money and property belonging to the United States and to Almon W. Babbitt, deceased, late secretary of the Territory of Utah, which may have been lost or destroyed on the plains, in the summer of eighteen hundred and fifty-six, by an attack of the Cheyenne Indians upon the said Babbitt and his train while transporting said property and money from the United States to Salt Lake City, in Utah Territory; and that the amount so ascertained and determined be passed to the credit of the said Babbitt on the books of the treasury in his accounts with the United States as secretary of said Territory, for expenses of the legislature thereof, and as superintendent of the erection of a penitentiary in Utah Territory; and if, upon the final adjustment of said accounts, the balances therein against said Babbitt in favor of the United States should fall short of’ the amount so ascertained to have been lost as aforesaid, that the balance thereof, after deducting the indebtedness of said Babbitt to the United States, be certified by said Comptroller to be payable to the lawful heirs of said Babbitt, deceased.

The regimental band was made up of 8 -20 members theses band played mostly brass instruments. Bass bands were at the height of popularity in the early 1860’s. Over-the shoulder horns were much in use, being especially advantageous for military purposes since they projected the sound back to troops marching behind the band. Some larger band would add two or three clarinets and perhaps a flute or fife to the brass instruments. Percussion instruments most often used were snare ( tenor ) drum, bass drum, and cymbals. Although these bands were noncombatants they had no easy job, their duties were many and varied.

When the army was encamped, the band played daily for guard mount ceremonies and dress parades. In the evenings they played “serenades” for the men and officers. On the march they were especially in demand when the army passed through a town: with the band playing lively tunes on a main street corner the soldiers were inspired to keep in step and look their best for the town folk. During battles the band members were often called upon to act as medics helping to move wounded men to the hospital area, even assisting while the surgeon performed amputations.

Many of this band were formed in towns all a cross the United States, before the war, and when the war began these bands step forward, and joined a regiment. One of these home town band was of the 114th., Pennsylvania infantry Volunteers. This band adopted the dress of the “Zouave d’Afrique”, a crack fighting corps of the French army in Algeria.

The uniforms were described as, Red pants, Zouave jacket, white leggings, blue sash around the waist, and white turban, which pricked up the pride of new recruits and gave the regiment an imposing and warlike appearance.

Men Of The Kansas Seventh Cavalry

The 7th, cavalry became famous mostly because of George Armstrong Custer, last stand known as “Custer’s last stand,” at the battle of the little bighorn. But there were other officers and non-officers that would be come famous in their own rights. The men on this list are here because I was able to find their birth or death dates or both. Some of the names will have links so you can learn more about him and his families.

I only looked at the men of the companies A-K, Those of you wishing to look for names in other parts of the regiment can do so by taking this link.

Each company is divided into different parts so be sure to look at each one, by not doing so may cause you to miss the name you were looking for. You well also note I listed a “home” for each of the men on this list, however this does not mean this is where he was born or died, it only means this was the place he was from on enlistment.
