In the time of war there was a need to take care of the sick and the dying and to give comfort to those that couldn't help themselves this became the duty of the nurse. There were men and womn nurses and each did their part to give comfort to those in need. There have been many love stories written about nurses in the time of war and some times the stories would be based on truth. However the duty of the nurse was not romantic at all it was very hard work and sometimes it would be the cause of their own deaths. The names here will have a little information the idea behind this list is to help those family's who have stories of a family member being a nurse in the time of war but had no proof maybe this list will help.

They Should Be Hung Or Shot?
I know a lot of family researchers don't like reading about a family member who may have done something wrong it's like they give the family name a black eye and in some way tarnished the name. All I can say to this is if this is the way you feel then stop right now you can't take out the bad and just leave in the good. If you do you won't have a full family history and lets face it most family's have a few bad apples in them if you take out the bad you may turn your family history into something dull and uninteresting to read that otherwise may have been exciting and romantic to read. Many of the names below have more information about them just ask. Some of these names were innocent of any wrong doings they just were at the wrong place at the right time.

Spy's Of War
What would war be like if there won't any spys? The spy has always been romantically linked to war however the fate that be fell the spy was not romantic at all. Most spys were not soldiers but the avenge citizen trying to help his or her country. There were a lot of famous spys but this list is not about being famous but the avenge man or woman trying to help their country. The names here will have a little information about them. If you have any questions you may ask at the following: dsegelquist1@cox.net
Josiah E. Bailey, 61st. Georgia, infantry, Company G., Spy, Rebel officer found in Washington in citizens clothes, confined in old Capitol prison at Washington D. C., Feb. 1, 1862.
E. Pliny Bryan, Spy, Although his arrest report states that he belongs to a Rebel signal Coprs. In the N. P. S. index he is listed as being A Captain in the General and Staff Offers, Corps, Division and Brigade Staffs, Non-Com., Staffs and Bands, Enlisted men, Staff Dept., C. S. A., Company A. G. D., He was confined in old Capitol prison at Washington D. C., on Feb. 21, 1862.
Rev. Towsend J. McVeigh, Spy, Chaplain of the Second Virginia Volunteers, Co. F & S., He was confined in old Capitol prison at Washington D. C., He was released in March of 1862.
David Kilboun, Went to upper Canada although his attachment to his country was undiminished, in the year of 1813, he went to General Wilkinson and upon his authority he engarged to examine the secretly of the British posts in Canada to get information of their numbers and positions. He did this to the full satisfaction of the Genreal. He was later found out and was apprehanded and confined in prison, treated narshly, and they purposed putting him to death, when he made his escape. He was later taken again and was subjected to the same and again made his escape. He went to General Wilkinson who he found at the French Mills, where he give him money to get to Sackett's Harbor. He was recommended to the quartermaster at that post and worked in that office until ill health. Where he went to New York to live and is now living under the complicated burdens of old age.
Jackson Benman
Spy, Has been arrested three times.
Jackson Benman was arrested by order of General Fitz - John Porter and committed to the Old Capitol Prison January 24, 1862. No papers have been received at the Department of State showing on what charges the arrest of this person was made. The said Jackson Benman remained in custody at the Old Capitol Prison February 15, 1862, when in conformity with the order of the War Department of the preceding day he was transferred to the charge of that Department.
Spencer Kellogg, has been held for the past year as a spy, although not captures as a spy, but as a prisoner of war. He unquestionably acted as a spy in February or March, 1862, but escaped and rejoined his ship, from which he was captured some time during the summer as an ordinary prisoner of war. We claim that no being captured while a spy, or previous to his rejoining our forces, he could not be considered or treated otherwise than as a prisoner of war.
Note: Was a master's mate of Mississippi gun-boat.
John Y. Beall
Charge 2: Acting as a spy.
Specification 1.- In this, that John Y. Beall, a citizen of the insurgent State of Virginia, was found acting as a spy, in the State of Ohio at or near Kelley's Island, on or about the 19th day of September, 1864.
Specification 2.- In this, that John Y. Beall, a citizen of the insurgent State of Virginia, was found acting as a spy, in the State of Ohio, on or about the 19th day of September, 1864, at or near Middle Bass Island.
Specification 3.- In this, that John Y. Beall, a citizen of the insurgent State of Virginia, was found acting as a spy, in the State of new York, at or near Suspension Bridge, on or about the 16th day of September, 1864.
He was found guilty and was to be hanged by the neck until dead, at such time and place as the general in command of the department may direct, two-thirds of the members concurring therein.
Jose Maria Rivas did during the winter of 1861-62 and the spring of 1862 act as spy against the Federal troops in New Mexico-first for Colonel Baylor, then for General Sibley, and until caught as a spy and guide for Captain Coopwood, all of the Confederate forces. And the said Rivas did during the greater part of the time above mentioned continue to act as a spy and guide adversely to the Federal Government, to which he owed allegiance. He was found guilty and was to be shot to death by a detachment of New Mexico volunteers. However a following report is showing that the sentences was not approved because the accused is not shown to have been within our lines in disguise or by false pretense except by hearsay testimony, and because in his admission that he was a spy he may not have understood the technical term and may have meant no more than that he was a scout of the enemy. He clearly is a prisoner of war.
A. LINCOLN.
Miss Fannie Battle, aged nineteen years, of Davidson County, Tenn., arrested on the 7th day of April, A. D. . 1863, by order of Colonel Truesdail, chief of policed Nashville, and brought to Camp Chase on the 15th day of April, 1863, charged with being a spy, with smuggling goods and with getting a forged pass, I have the honor to report that the prisoners denies the all allegation of having been a spy but admits that she is a rebel and she had a forged pass. She further denies that she smuggling goods at the time she was arrested. There can be no doubt from the manner of the prisoner in replying to inquiries that she has been engaged in smuggling. The prisoner is affable and attractive and well qualified by a manners and mind to be influential for evil to the loyal cause. She is a daughter of the rebel General Battle. I recommend that she be exchanged and sent beyond our lines as soon as it may be convenient to our Government.
Miss Harriet Booker, aged twenty - four years, of Davidson County, Tenn., arrested on the 7th day of April, A. D. 1863, by order of Colonel Truesdail, Chief of police at Nashville, and brought to Camp Chase on the 15th day of April, 1863, charged with being a rebel, a spy, with forging a pass and altering the same and with smuggling goods through the lines and conveying letters and information to the enemy, I have the honor to report that the prisoners denies the charge of smuggling, of being a spy or conveying letters to the enemy, but admits herself to be a rebel and to have altered a forged pass, knowing the same to have been forged for the purpose of being fraudulently used. The prisoners is less intelligent than Miss Battle and more ingenuous. She has been obviously under the control of Miss Battle. There can be no doubt as to her active and cordial co - operation in the acts of Miss Battle. If she could be removed from the influence of [that] designing woman she would be harmless. I recommend that she be exchanged and sent beyond our lines, and if convenient and practicable that she be separated from the companionship of Miss Battle.
Abraham Forbes was a citizen of the United States and went to upper Canada prior to the war of 1812, that he joined the troops of the United States and was employed as a spy.
James Rigden states that in September of 1813, he was a sergeant in Colonel Winfield Scott's regiment of artillery stationed at Fort George in upper Canada and was told that the Commanding general wanted a capable man to pass into the enemy's camp four miles a way. He was told if he was successful he would be amply rewarded. Rigden said he would go, he was passed beyound the chain of American sentinels, and the next morning was denounced as a deserter. In character he approched the British outposts in the dark and was received and sent up to headquarters. He had every prospect of being sent to the rear as a deserter and thence succeeding in his perilous mission; but a real deserter from the American army came in and said that Rigden was one of Colonel Scott's most confidential sergents. He was seized as a spy and irond and sent to the dungeon in Quebec. After nine months of being told he would be tried as a spy and executed he was sent to a transport ship called the Bostock then on to England. But they would have to stop at Halifax to join up with the convoy bound for England. Arriving at Halifax, Rigden found there the American cartel called the Perseverance which had brought a number of British prisoners to be exchanged for Americans. Rigden just before sailing of the two vessels, and at the imminent hazard for his life, eluded the vigilance of his guard and got on board the Perseverance. Thus by this successful hazard, Rigden just six weeks from the time he left Quebec was enabled to report himself in person for duty with his company in upper Canada.

And the said Rivas did during the greater part of the time above mentioned continue to act as a spy and guide adversely to the Federal Government, to which he owed allegiance. He was found guilty and was to be shot to death by a detachment of New Mexico volunteers. However a following report is showing that the sentences was not approved because the accused is not shown to have been within our lines in disguise or by false pretense except by hearsay testimony, and because in his admission that he was a spy he may not have understood the technical term and may have meant no more than that he was a scout of the enemy. He clearly is a prisoner of war.
A. LINCOLN.

D. . 1863, by order of Colonel Truesdail, chief of policed Nashville, and brought to Camp Chase on the 15th day of April, 1863, charged with being a spy, with smuggling goods and with getting a forged pass, I have the honor to report that the prisoners denies the all allegation of having been a spy but admits that she is a rebel and she had a forged pass. She further denies that she smuggling goods at the time she was arrested. There can be no doubt from the manner of the prisoner in replying to inquiries that she has been engaged in smuggling. The prisoner is affable and attractive and well qualified by a manners and mind to be influential for evil to the loyal cause. She is a daughter of the rebel General Battle. I recommend that she be exchanged and sent beyond our lines as soon as it may be convenient to our Government.

The prisoners is less intelligent than Miss Battle and more ingenuous. She has been obviously under the control of Miss Battle. There can be no doubt as to her active and cordial co - operation in the acts of Miss Battle. If she could be removed from the influence of [that] designing woman she would be harmless. I recommend that she be exchanged and sent beyond our lines, and if convenient and practicable that she be separated from the companionship of Miss Battle.

In character he approched the British outposts in the dark and was received and sent up to headquarters. He had every prospect of being sent to the rear as a deserter and thence succeeding in his perilous mission; but a real deserter from the American army came in and said that Rigden was one of Colonel Scott's most confidential sergents. He was seized as a spy and irond and sent to the dungeon in Quebec. After nine months of being told he would be tried as a spy and executed he was sent to a transport ship called the Bostock then on to England. But they would have to stop at Halifax to join up with the convoy bound for England. Arriving at Halifax, Rigden found there the American cartel called the Perseverance which had brought a number of British prisoners to be exchanged for Americans. Rigden just before sailing of the two vessels, and at the imminent hazard for his life, eluded the vigilance of his guard and got on board the Perseverance. Thus by this successful hazard, Rigden just six weeks from the time he left Quebec was enabled to report himself in person for duty with his company in upper Canada.

Thomas Walker praying compensation for his great sufferings and losses in Canada, submit the following Report:
Thomas Walker for many years previous to the late war was of the Magistracy of the Province of Quebec and a reputable merchant at Montreal. That at the earliest period of disagreement between the late Colonies and Great Britain Mr. Walker took a decided part in favor of the principles that justify the separation of the two Countries, and by an uniform conduct gave an example of patriotism to the friends of liberty in Canada, which drew upon him the barbarous resentment of the Military then stationed in that Country.
Mr. Walker industriously circulated the address of Congress to the people of the Province of Quebec in the yearunder circumstances of hazard and imminent danger and for his active support of the measures recommended by Congress, was imprisoned by Genl. Carleton on a charge of treason, loaded with heavy irons and liberated only by the arrival of General Montgomery in Canada. His house and store were burnt at the time of his arrest, and his goods plundered by a party of armed men. Upon obtaining his freedom he aided the forces sent against Quebec, and advanced of his remaining property for their convenience. The Committee are sensible that Congress by a resolve of April 23rd., 1783, pointed out a mode of compensating Canadians for sufferings during the late war; but they are of opinion that the great losses and peculiar suffering of Mr. Walker, and his present situation, authorize a compensation in addition to that proposed by the resolve aforesaid; and therefore submit that it be, Resolved, that the sum of 2000 dollars be granted Board of Treasury take order for the payment of 1500 Dollars to Mr. Thomas Walker towards a compensation for his losses and sufferings in Canada, and that it be and hereby is recommended to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to pay and deduct the same from their quota of the requisition of the year 1785.

Mottrom Ball
Destroyed Property
Mottrom Ball, claims payment for a dwelling-house and kitchen, with Sunday property therein, contained, near the mouth of the Coan River, Northumberland county, Virginia, destroyed by the enemy on August 7, 1814, in consequence ( as he alleges ) of the said houses being occupied as barracks at that time by troops in the service of the United States, the value of which he estimates at $1,400, it appears that troops were stationed at Mr. Ball's farm in the year of 1813, and some huts erected and works of defence thrown up near to Mr. Ball's house. This encampment was contined by the troops until it's destruction by fire. One company of troops that arrived ten days before the 7th., had no tents took possession of Mr. Ball's house and kitchen and used them as barracks until the morning of August 7, 1814, when the enemy appeared at the Coan, then entered the river and commenced a fire with artillery, on the American troops who finding that resistance was unavailing in that the enemy being able to cover the landing of their troops under a fire of heavy artillery on board their vessels. As the Americans retreated the enemy landed and burnt Mr. Ball's house and kitchen, and all the huts put up by the Americans troops, and levelled the works of defence.
Philip Bryant
Destroyed property
It appears that Philip Bryant, of Chateaugay of the State of New York, volunteered as a Lieutenant under Captain David Erwin of the militia and continued in service till discharged by Major General Hampton; that in the winter of 1814, he was employed by Colonel Bissel, to reconnoiter the enemy's lines, and to watch their movements; that a part of his house was occupied as a guard-house during the time the army remained there, about three months. At the time of evacuation of the army there was stored at his house thirty barrels of beef and pork belonging to the army. Immediately after the army left the enemy appoached and because they found public property at his house and as he performed services for the army, and that part of his house was used as a guard-house, they plundered and destroyed whatever furniture and other personal property they could find. The house was injured as much as they coud without demolishing it, destroying all doors, floors and windows, therfore he is asking for compensation in the amount of six hundred dollars.

Thomas Walker praying compensation for his great sufferings and losses in Canada, submit the following Report:
Thomas Walker for many years previous to the late war was of the Magistracy of the Province of Quebec and a reputable merchant at Montreal. That at the earliest period of disagreement between the late Colonies and Great Britain Mr. Walker took a decided part in favor of the principles that justify the separation of the two Countries, and by an uniform conduct gave an example of patriotism to the friends of liberty in Canada, which drew upon him the barbarous resentment of the Military then stationed in that Country.
Mr. Walker industriously circulated the address of Congress to the people of the Province of Quebec in the yearunder circumstances of hazard and imminent danger and for his active support of the measures recommended by Congress, was imprisoned by Genl. Carleton on a charge of treason, loaded with heavy irons and liberated only by the arrival of General Montgomery in Canada. His house and store were burnt at the time of his arrest, and his goods plundered by a party of armed men. Upon obtaining his freedom he aided the forces sent against Quebec, and advanced of his remaining property for their convenience. The Committee are sensible that Congress by a resolve of April 23rd., 1783, pointed out a mode of compensating Canadians for sufferings during the late war; but they are of opinion that the great losses and peculiar suffering of Mr. Walker, and his present situation, authorize a compensation in addition to that proposed by the resolve aforesaid; and therefore submit that it be, Resolved, that the sum of 2000 dollars be granted Board of Treasury take order for the payment of 1500 Dollars to Mr. Thomas Walker towards a compensation for his losses and sufferings in Canada, and that it be and hereby is recommended to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to pay and deduct the same from their quota of the requisition of the year 1785.

This encampment was contined by the troops until it's destruction by fire. One company of troops that arrived ten days before the 7th., had no tents took possession of Mr. Ball's house and kitchen and used them as barracks until the morning of August 7, 1814, when the enemy appeared at the Coan, then entered the river and commenced a fire with artillery, on the American troops who finding that resistance was unavailing in that the enemy being able to cover the landing of their troops under a fire of heavy artillery on board their vessels.

At the time of evacuation of the army there was stored at his house thirty barrels of beef and pork belonging to the army. Immediately after the army left the enemy appoached and because they found public property at his house and as he performed services for the army, and that part of his house was used as a guard-house, they plundered and destroyed whatever furniture and other personal property they could find. The house was injured as much as they coud without demolishing it, destroying all doors, floors and windows, therfore he is asking for compensation in the amount of six hundred dollars.

Kansans Killed in Civil War & Indian Battle's Page 4
This is page four in the series of four. I had at first intended to make the last two pages of the men who were killed or wounded in the Kansas regiments. However I found by doing just the First Kansas Regiment Infantry that if I was to do all the regiments it would fill my hole web. site by doing so. So I've decided to do just the First Kansas Volunteer Infantry. Page three is the beginning and this page ( four ) is the end. However I have at the bottom of this page put a index of all the regiments and company's that had wounded or killed men.
