In my work as a Surname researcher I look for names every where, but there is one subject matter I have not touched on before its the Military Contractor. Oh they were easy enough to find"," but to find any information on a individual was almost impossible. I thought if I just put down a name"," and what the contract was for"," that it would be dry and uninteresting. However"," with my work at Roots Web., over the years I have seen people asking about Military Contractors. They had stories of a family member that had a contract with the military and wanted to know if there was a way to find out, so I thought it was time to see if I could give them some kind of help. [Those same people knew of a "contract," and the contractor being a family member it was apparent to me they wanted additional information, so with that in mind I set out to see if I could provide some assistance.]
The information will be name, date, and some of material supplied. Space being limited will not allow me to list the hundreds of items involved in every situation, but will provide as much as possible. “I think you all will be interested as well as I, on how much a pair of socks cost, or what the price of a gun was going for.” These names will be listed by year, as you go from year to year you may see the same name more the once"," but keep in mind they may not be supplying the same items. The military contractor supplied services from the care of the sick to a pair socks.
Note. The information on these two pages comes from Naval affairs Vol. I-III, and Military affairs Vol. I-VII, theses records are housed at the Library of Congress. Also from the official records of the Civil War, Who’s records are housed at Ohio State University.

They Took The Oath Of Allegiance.
This page is of those who took the oath of allegiance they were soldiers and civilian, they were young and old men and women and children. They were prisoners of war or civilian that were arrested for one reason or another. A lot of people think that after they took the oath they were aloud to go home or where ever they liked that was far the truth, however some were aloud to go home. After they took the oath they were on parole and were not all that free to do as they liked. Some were ordered to a family home and not aloud to leave, or not to leave the county others were ordered to stay within the State they were paroled in and others were aloud to go to any State so long that it was a northern State. The Confederates also had a oath of allegiance I have not seen a full wording of it, but in my research I found it was about the same as the Unions with the same rules.
As a surname researcher it is my job to give you as many names as I can, to help you find that lost family member, even though he or she may not be lost you would like to know more about him or her. Some times I have a lot of information on a name and other times very little but I always try to give some kind of information. Most of the names I put on this web site have more information then I give here but as I have little space I can’t give all the information I have on each name. I always give my E. Mail on most of my posts, so I’m easy to find. If you have any questions on this page or any other page or would just like to ask a question just write me I will be happy to hear from you all.
Note. The information on this page comes from the official records of the Civil War, which are housed at Ohio State University.
If you would like to leave a comment or ask for help you may at the following. dsegelquist1@cox.net
Oath of Allegiance.
I________ name, do solemnly swear ( or affirm as the case may be ) that I will support and defend the Constitution and government of the United States against all enemies whether domestic of foreign; that I will bear true and faithful allegiance to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State, convention, legislature, or order or organization, secret or otherwise, to the contrary not withstanding; that I do this with a full determination, pledge, and purpose, without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever, and especially that I have not by word or deed or in any manner whatever given countenance, aid, comfort or encouragement to the present rebellion or to those who have been or are now engaged in the conspiracy against the government of the United States so help me god._______________ sign.
Note. The above oath is what Congress put in a Bill in 1862., the oath below was given in St. Louis Missouri in 1861.
Oath of allegiance to the United States Government:
I solemnly swear that I will bear true allegiance to the United States and support and sustain the Constitution and laws thereof; that I will maintain the national sovereignty paramount to that of all State, county or confederate powers; that I will discourage, discountenance and forever oppose secession, rebellion and disintegration of the Federal Union; that I disclaim and denounce all faith and fellow-ship with the so-called Confederate armies and pledge my honor, my property and my life to the sacred performance of this my solemn oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States of America.
Note. This is what General S. R, Curtis had to say about the oath.
SAINT LOUIS, December 11, 1861.
General S. R. CURTIS.
DEAR SIR: As an honest man I would seriously object to taking this oath because that every man that takes it can't avoid perjury for he can't support the Government and uphold and sustain the Constitution at the same time.
It does appear to me an unsophisticated individual that our rulers are crazy, and you among the rest if this oath is prescribed by you. You all seem to overlook several facts that are patent to all the world. First of them though not least is that there no longer exists any union of all the States and that there is really less Union feeling in the hearts of the Northern people than in the Southern people. The next and still more prominent fact is that it is impossible to perpetuate or create a union by force. Union don't mean war and war don't mean union. The more war the less union. But why reason with crazy men?
Note. This oath was ordered to be give at Fort Monroe, Va., November 12, 1863, as we can see there were many oaths.

Charles Clay. -Aged sixty-three. Born in Virginia; has lived in Raleigh County twelve years. Says he is a secessionist and on the Southern side. Has two sons in Floyd's brigade, in Captains Pate's or Adams' companies. Has done all in his power for the families of volunteers in the Southern army. Does not know of rwhat he is arrested. Says he went to hunt up some cattle and hogs driven by the wife of a volunteer into the mountains when the Northern troops went to Raleigh Court-House. Did not expect them to return so soon, but they met him in the road on his return home, took him prisoner, and compelled him to show them where they could cross the creek, and then discharged him. Says he never had anything to do with the Northern army or with the Union man, except in this instance. Says he has slept out in the mountains at night to avoid them. I examined Colonel Coleman, the member of the legislature of Virginia from Fayette [and] Raleigh, and Mr. McDonald, the member from Wyoming, and they neither knew enough of this man to say whether he was worthy of credit. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
Greenville Clay. -Son of Charles Clay; does not know for what he was arrested. Never had any connection with the Northern army or the Union men. Once met a a squad of Yankees on the road. They asked him the condition of the bridges and passed. He had nothing to do with the Northern army or the Union men. Has two brothers in the Southern army, one in Captain Adams', the other in Captain Pate's company, Floyd's brigade. In the spring put in a crop in partnership with one of his brothers. It was afterwards agreed one of them should volunteer. His brother being unmarried, volunteered in Captain Pate's company. Has aided the families of the Southern volunteers by cutting their grain in harvest, and by other labor. I have examined Colonel Coleman and Mr. McDonald. They can throw no light on this case. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
As a surname researcher it is my job to give you as many names as I can, to help you find that lost family member, even though he or she may not be lost you would like to know more about him or her. Some times I have a lot of information on a name and other times very little but I always try to give some kind of information. Most of the names I put on this web site have more information then I give here but as I have little space I can’t give all the information I have on each name. I always give my E. Mail on most of my posts, so I’m easy to find. If you have any questions on this page or any other page or would just like to ask a question just write me I will be happy to hear from you all.

Note. The above oath is what Congress put in a Bill in 1862., the oath below was given in St. Louis Missouri in 1861.
Oath of allegiance to the United States Government:
I solemnly swear that I will bear true allegiance to the United States and support and sustain the Constitution and laws thereof; that I will maintain the national sovereignty paramount to that of all State, county or confederate powers; that I will discourage, discountenance and forever oppose secession, rebellion and disintegration of the Federal Union; that I disclaim and denounce all faith and fellow-ship with the so-called Confederate armies and pledge my honor, my property and my life to the sacred performance of this my solemn oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States of America.
Note. This is what General S. R, Curtis had to say about the oath.
SAINT LOUIS, December 11, 1861.
General S. R. CURTIS.
DEAR SIR: As an honest man I would seriously object to taking this oath because that every man that takes it can't avoid perjury for he can't support the Government and uphold and sustain the Constitution at the same time.
It does appear to me an unsophisticated individual that our rulers are crazy, and you among the rest if this oath is prescribed by you. You all seem to overlook several facts that are patent to all the world. First of them though not least is that there no longer exists any union of all the States and that there is really less Union feeling in the hearts of the Northern people than in the Southern people. The next and still more prominent fact is that it is impossible to perpetuate or create a union by force. Union don't mean war and war don't mean union. The more war the less union. But why reason with crazy men?
Note. This oath was ordered to be give at Fort Monroe, Va., November 12, 1863, as we can see there were many oaths.
I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, whether domestic of foreign; that I hereby pledge my allegiance, faith, and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State Convention or State Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding; that I will at all times yield a hearty and willing obedience to the said Constitution and Government, and will not, directly or indirectly, do any act in hostility to the same, either by taking up arms against them, or aiding, abetting, or countenancing those in arms against them; that without permission from the lawful authority, I will have no communication, direct or indirect, with the States in insurrection against the United States, or either of them, or with any person or persons within said insurrectionary States, and that I will in all things deport myself as a good and loyal citizen of the United States. This I do in good faith, with full determination, pledge, and purpose to keep this my sworn obligation, and without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever.

Charles Clay. -Aged sixty-three. Born in Virginia; has lived in Raleigh County twelve years. Says he is a secessionist and on the Southern side. Has two sons in Floyd's brigade, in Captains Pate's or Adams' companies. Has done all in his power for the families of volunteers in the Southern army. Does not know of rwhat he is arrested. Says he went to hunt up some cattle and hogs driven by the wife of a volunteer into the mountains when the Northern troops went to Raleigh Court-House. Did not expect them to return so soon, but they met him in the road on his return home, took him prisoner, and compelled him to show them where they could cross the creek, and then discharged him. Says he never had anything to do with the Northern army or with the Union man, except in this instance. Says he has slept out in the mountains at night to avoid them. I examined Colonel Coleman, the member of the legislature of Virginia from Fayette [and] Raleigh, and Mr. McDonald, the member from Wyoming, and they neither knew enough of this man to say whether he was worthy of credit. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
Greenville Clay. -Son of Charles Clay; does not know for what he was arrested. Never had any connection with the Northern army or the Union men. Once met a a squad of Yankees on the road. They asked him the condition of the bridges and passed. He had nothing to do with the Northern army or the Union men. Has two brothers in the Southern army, one in Captain Adams', the other in Captain Pate's company, Floyd's brigade. In the spring put in a crop in partnership with one of his brothers. It was afterwards agreed one of them should volunteer. His brother being unmarried, volunteered in Captain Pate's company. Has aided the families of the Southern volunteers by cutting their grain in harvest, and by other labor. I have examined Colonel Coleman and Mr. McDonald. They can throw no light on this case. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
