They Give Gallant & Meritorious Service.

There is little to say about this page as it will speak for it self. About all I can add is there will be some added information on some of this men. There were hundreds of thousands of men who give ( Gallant and Meritorious ) service in the history of the many wars we have been through. That being so it would be imposable to put all their names on this one page let along ten pages. This being the case, I will list some where around 500, names. I will try to list these names by year and war if I can. As there will be so many names and more then likely no order to them I would do a ( Name Search.) it will make it easier to find your ancestor.

Note. Those of you who find a ancestor on this list, and would like to know if there is more information on him can find my address in my profile, be glad to hear from you, please note all information will be military info, unless I become real lucky.

"Woman In My Prison ?, I Don't Think So."

When one hears the words ( Prisoner of War ) a picture of soldiers and sailors comes to mind, farthest from are mind is the women, who fought in many ways just as hard as any man, but in different ways. They faced the same hardships as any man, and the price these women paid was no less then any other man would pay. Some women who played in the warring game thought being the softer side of humanity their punishment if caught would be less severe, be course they were the softer side. However they soon learned the harsh realities of war. Women who went to war would caused many problems for both army’s, for warring was for men and not women, but there was no way around it, a spy is a spy, no matter what the sex that was. How that they were captured what to with them. Neither side had made plans for women prisoners and after all warring was a mans game, but the army’s soon learned there was no way around it the women were going to fight.

The army’s now had a problem their prisons were made to hold men sometimes up to 30, thousand. Neither side wanted to put 10, women in with 30, thousand men that would cause more problems then if they hadn’t been caught. The higher commands said they would have to make do. The prison Officers for both sides told their governments for the need of new prisons and both agreed, but asked “where is the money coming from?, if you can find it, will build them.” Some prisons made room by dividing one room into two and putting up to ten women in one room that should only hold three. Because of these close quarters some soon became sick from the air and sanitary needs, and had to be taken to a hospital. Women were moved to city jails, wear houses and any place that could be guarded well. History will state that this war was won for this reason or that reason, but if the truth be known, it was won in part by the stronger sex the woman.

Note. This information will come from the official recorders of the Union and Confederate Armies which is housed at the State University of Ohio.

Note. Not only will there be information of the women in prison but a few report on what the conditions were.

U. S. GENERAL PRISON HOSPITAL,
Saint Louis, Mo., August 20, 1864.
Colonel J. P. SANDERSON,
Provost-Marshal-General Department of the Missouri:

COLONEL: I have the honor to state that there are now held in custody ten female prisoners in one room in Myrtle Street Prison. The room does not contain more than 2,400 cubic feet of air, which is barely sufficient for three persons. If allowed to remain in these quarters sickness will doubtless be one of the results. Illness to a certain extent has already occurred. We would respectfully ask instructions as to what course we must pursue. Shall we treat the cases as they occur in the quarters they now occupy or remove them to hospital?

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. M. YOUNGBLOOD,
Acting Assistant Surgeon, U. S. Army, Acting Surgeon in Charge.

OFFICE INSPECTOR OF PRISONS,
Saint Louis, August 21, 1864.

Respectfully returned, with the suggestion that these female prisoners be removed to Gratiot Street Prison. I have had the honor before of explaining to the colonel the propriety of removing these women from Myrtle Street Prison, as the localities there are in no way the proper ones for that class of prisoners. The so-called lower round room at Gratiot Street Prison seems to be the proper place. It is a large and airy room, and perfectly isolated from the other rooms. One female prisoner is there now, and in one room with a man (the counterfeiter who was ordered to be kept single), and as this prison has no proper room for this purpose, I respectfully recommend that this lower round room be divided into two rooms by a partition, which would make good rooms for both purposes. The female sick may be accommodated in the branch hospital, which is right opposite, and where there is plenty of suitable room. I sincerely believe that this change would be of a great advantage and meet all the desirable points.

Columbus, Ohio, April 23, 1863.
Colonel W. HOFFMAN, Commissary - General of Prisoners:

The Governor of Ohio has in some instances granted paroles to rebel prisoners where in consequence of sickness it has been necessary to remove them from the prison. Yesterday he desired me to request that authority be vested in me to grant paroles in cases of this kind. He also suggested the propriety of paroling the female prisoners now here to the limits of this city. There are at present five female prisoners confined here, there being no suitable accommodations at Camp Chase. They were removed to the second story a house in the city, placed in the immediate charge of a loyal female, strictly guarded and subjected to all the regulations established by you for government of prisons. The house occupied was already in charge of the quartermaster and not renter for the purpose.
your letter of the 20th has been received and your instructions with reference carried into effect, Captain Webber, of the Governor's Guards, being commandant of prisons.
Your obedient servant, JNO S. MASON, Brigadier - General, Commanding.

Colonel J. P. SANDERSON,
Provost-Marshal-General, Saint Louis, Mo.:

COLONEL: Respectfully referring to the above notes, your will see that our prisons continue to be in good order. I do, in fact, believe they are improving every day, notwithstanding the inefficiency of the buildings. I have also inspected the new female prison, situated opposite Gratiot Street Prison, and find it a very suitable place, provided that these female prisoners be properly classified according to their character. I have the honor, colonel, to suggest the prostitutes be transferred to the work-house of the city, because they are certainly a nuisance in or near a military prison, and it is, furthermore, a very simple matter to settle for their keeping with the city authorities.
I remain, sir, your obedient servant, GUST. HEINRICHS, Major and Inspector.

MILITARY PRISON, Alton, Ill., July 26, 1863.
Colonel W. HOFFMAN, Commissary-General of Prisoners:

Two of the female prisoners, Mrs. Nicholson and Mrs. Hyde, were released to-day, the former by an order form Brigadier-General Hurlbut, commanding at Memphis, Tenn., remitting unexpired sentence, and the letter by parole to Nashville, Tenn., by order of General Rosecrans.

I have the honor to be, sir, with much respect, your most obedient servant,
T. HENDRICKSON, Major, U. S. Army, Commandant of Prison.

OFFICE COMMISSARY - GENERAL OF PRISONERS,
Washington, D. C., May 2, 1863.
Major JOSEPH DARR, Jr.,

MAJOR: Please deliver to the provost - marshal in this city Mary J. Green and Maria Murphy, of Braxton County, and Jennie De Hart, female prisoners now in your custody charged with disloyal offenses. If there are any charges of disloyalty against Marian McKenzie or Mary Jane Prater you will send them also. Wearing soldier's clothes in camp is not an offense for which they can be sent South and if that is all that is against them they must be disposed of in some other way. Elizabeth Hays and Mary Summers are very hard cases and will have to remain on your hands until you see a good opening to dispose of them which I hope will soon present itself.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
W. HOFFMAN,

ALTON MILITARY PRISON, Alton, Ill., February 16, 1863.
Colonel W. HOFFMAN, Commissary-General of Prisoners.

COLONEL: On the night of the 23rd of January last a Mrs. Clara Judd, a female prisoner, was brought to this prison in company with several male prisoners, all of whom were easily provided for except the female. I did not know what to do with her as there were no rooms about the building where cooking could be done without a great expense, as I myself with several other officers am boarding at these headquarter buildings and have her boarded at $2 per week. But I do not feel justified to continue such board without advising you of the fact and ask you to approve or disapprove of said board of Mrs. Judd. Mrs. Judd was arrested and sent to this prison as a spy by order of General Rosecrans. She has never had any trial but is held in this prison as a spy. Please let me know what I shall do in regard to her board. She resides near Winchester, Tenn.

Added info. Provost-Marshal-General, Fourteenth Army Corps.

SIR: The following is the substance of the testimony elicited in the case of Mrs. Clara Judd, arrested by the army police on charge of attempting to carry through the lines articles contraband of war such as quinine, morphine, nitrate of silver, besides other goods, and one knitting-machine carried as a pattern, which articles, were found and have been purchased by her and brought within these army lines upon a pass obtained under false pretenses.

Mrs. Judd is the widow of an Episcopal clergyman who resides in Winchester, Tenn. He died some two years since leaving a large family of some seven children. Mrs. Judd passed through our lines with permission to take her three youngest children to Minnesota, from whence the family originally came. She took them, leaving them with a sister, she herself returning and passing through our lines to the rebel army. One of her oldest boys had found employment in the rebel establishment at Atlanta, Ga. During her absence her premises were seized on by the Confederates and her children remaining were taken by this young man to Atlanta.

In the autumn of 1862 she returned to Winchester, went thence to Atlanta claims to have received some $500 Southern funds of her son, which she exchanged for money current in the North. She also received funds from persons who desired her to purchase articles from the North for them. Having thus provided herself she came through our lines and was, under her representations that she wished to go to her children in Minnesota, granted a pass North. She states that from conversation of officers of the Confederate service whom she met on the cars going from Atlanta to Murfreesborough she learned I was the intention of John Morgan to strike at our railroad communications near Gallating at a certain time.

She found a traveling companion in the person of a Mr. Forsythe northward. She went as far as Louisville and Jeffersonville or New Albany, procuring the goods specified, returned on a pass to Gallatin. She states that her intention was to stop at Gallatin and set up the knitting-machine and manufacture stockings, &c., for a living, her object in doing so being that she would be near her children in Atlanta; that her living would be cheaper than in Nashville; that she supposed it would be lawful for her to hold her goods in expectation that the enemy would occupy the country and that she would then fall into their lines. It appears that she was tolerably well informed because about the time she expected it Morgan did make an attempt on Gallatin and shortly after broke the road above there.

It is respectfully submitted that she is a dangerous person to remain in these lines; that she is probably a spy as well as smuggler; that cases of this kind being of frequent occurrence by females examples should be made, and that as there is at present no proper tribunal for her especial trial or proper place of imprisonment at Nashville, she be committed to the military prison at Alton in the State of Illinois, for trial. It is well to state further that Mrs. Judd represents her son at Atlanta to be a very ingenious mechanic and that it was her intention to furnish him with the knitting-machine for the purpose of manufacturing others from it taken as a pattern.
Very respectfully, U. S. MILITARY PRISON.

Alton, Ill., May 11, 1863.

Statement of Mrs. Clara Judd, who has been a prisoner in Alton Military Prison over three months as a spy.

She denies being guilty. Her health is failing very fast (having been in feeble health for several years) from confinement. She wishes to be paroled and go to her parents and little children who are living in Minnesota. She makes a statement here how she came in the south and how she came to be arrested:

"I am the widow of the Rev. B. S. Judd and a native of the State of New York. My parents live in Minnesota where I also resided with my husband seven years prior to going South. We moved to Winchester in November, 1859, on account of my health and on account of there being a chance of educating our children and board them at home and keep them under home influences. We had eight children. Six of them were going to school in 1861, when my husband went to Nashville on business and while there he went to view some statuary at the capitol; accidentally stepped off the parterre and was injured so that he died in just four weeks, leaving me with seven children (one having died in the fall) without money, with a great deal of unfinished business and not a relative or Northern person that I ever saw two years before. My friends in the North wrote to have me come home, but I had taken out letters of administration and had no means and the blockade soon closed all communication. I struggled on with my children's help who went to work at anything they could get to do until Christmas, 1862. I was censured very much because I did not put my oldest children, being boys, into the army. I could not think it my duty to let them go on either side my health being so poor and I liable to die at any time with heart disease. I thought they ought to preserve their lives to take care of those younger. At Christmas I put two of them into a Government factory to keep them from being conscripted. The factory was removed to Atlanta, Ga., in May. I was here and in the meantime I had sent the next oldest into the same business. I could not hear from them or from the North and I had no means to support my four remaining children but what I could to myself. Winchester was taken possession of five different times by the Federals. I always treated them as brothers; had a house full every time they were there. (I never had a Confederate soldier in my house.) The 1st of August Thomas took possession of the town. Among his troops I had many acquaintances who told me they were going to destroy all of the crops except enough to last six weeks. They advised me to get my little children to my parents in the North. I could not stay to dispose of anything. I had three cows and seven acres of crops and my household goods and husband's library. I got a protection from provost-marshal for my things and a little boy twelve years old; borrowed money and took my three youngest children out on the second train through from Decherd to Nashville. I was to be gone four weeks. I arrived in Minnesota on the 11th of August. Three days after I got there I had to take my children and flee from the Indians, which detained me three or four weeks instead of two. I then started with money enough as I supposed to take me to Nashville. I intended to go back and dispose of my effects if possible and get my boys out and go to Nevada Territory for two years. I had made arrangements for my sister to take care of my little children for three years, but when I arrived at Louisville they were expecting an attack from Bragg.

"I went to New Albany and was taken sick; was there six weeks. I after incredible trouble succeeded in hiring some money to pay my expenses and take me to Nashville where I was acquainted with the clergy and would get help there. I started but could not get my trunks through farther than Mitchellville. I was very deficient in clothing myself. I thought I would go to [Louisville] and get me some funds and come back to New Albany and pay the borrowed money and get a few clothes for myself and a hand knitting-machine which I had been talking of getting for several years. I accordingly did so. Told the offices at Nashville my whole business and tried to get a pass to go and come back, but could not get one to come back. When I got to Winchester I found everything destroyed except my husband's library and the son I left gone to the same business the others were at and that I could not get my sons out. When I left I supposed Buell would keep the country. I came back and was detained at Murfreesborough three days in trying to get a pass. When I got one I could not get any conveyance but walked eleven miles after 10 o'clock, the last three miles in my stocking feet, having blistered my feet the first three miles. I got a carriage at La Vergne to take me to where the flag officers were, as there was a flag that day. Just before I got there came a carriage from Murfreesborough bringing a gentleman who was said to be a prisoner of the South. The Federal officers would not let me through until they had been to headquarters. I wrote a statement to Rosecrans. While waiting there the person from Murfreesborough commenced questioning me. He told me he was from Connecticut. My husband and parents were from there. We soon seemed like old acquaintances. He wished to know where I stopped in Nashville. I told. Said he stopped there, and then said he would see Rosecrans about my pass; said he thought he had more power there than Colonel Hepburn. The second day after this the flag officer came out; told me that I could go, but would have to go under guard. I told them I would; I was perfectly willing. I had nothing but some open letters-those I sent to Rosecrans. I walked almost seven miles, my guard mounted. After giving a statement to headquarters of everything I saw while in the South I went to the same hotel where Mr. Forsythe (that is the name of the prisoner from Murfreesborough) put up. He was not there and the house was full. I went to a private house where I was slightly acquainted. The next morning I went to the provost-marshal's office and got a pass to go to Louisville. I found there was a battle near and that I would either stop in New Albany or go to a god-son's in Illinois and wait until times were settled after the battle, but when the clerk gave me my pass he said I could not go. The next day I wanted to go to Mitchellville on account of getting some clothes. I accordingly sent a note to Mr. Forsythe asking him to call wishing to have him provide me with a private conveyance to Mitchelville, he having informed me while out with the flag that he had been a merchant in Nashville for some time before he went to Murfreesborough. When he called he said he was going to Louisville the next day but one; wanted to see my pass. I finally told him my hurry to get through was mainly because I had heard about what time Morgan would interrupt that road and that I feared I would be left South which would trouble me very much on account of paying the money I had borrowed by a certain time, as the people had placed confidence in me. He said he was very glad I had told him as he had $30,000 worth of goods on the road or about to start, but wanted to know why I did to come back. I told him that at that time I feared come back told me before he was a widower; said he would like to become better acquainted with me; said Rosecrans had given him a pass to take my pass and have it changed to come back to Gallatin, where I could get to Murfreesborough after awhile. He went to headquarters and came back with the pass changed but laughed about the wording of it. He sid he would go with me in the morning and would be happy to render my any assistance I might need, and would introduce me to a merchant where I could get my things at wholesale.

"After we started in the morning I asked him how he came to have so much influence with Rosecrans. Said they were old neighbors, but after a little told me he was a Southern man as strong as any dared to be. I found I was in a close place. I could turn neither way, for the conductor would not wait for me to take my trunk aboard at Mitchellville, so that I could leave him in Louisville. He finally after we got there told me not to get anything contraband, but I told him there was nothing contraband while in the United States, and if I stopped finally urged me to buy. I told him I had no means; he offered me some money but I refused it. He then urged me to take the money I had brought to pay the debt I had contracted in New Albany. I was in debt in Winchester and thought if I had money it was a great temptation to buy and to stop in Gallatain and if Morgan took that part of the country it would help me out of debt but I did not yield at first. I went to New Albany and found the lawyer gone from home. Forsythe went with me when he found now things were. He told the gentleman in the office that I had to sacrifice a great deal of my money so that I had not got the clothing I needed and that he would vouch that I would send the money back in two or three weeks through his name to Cahill and Hues, Louisville, and gave his name and theirs in writing. Then as soon as we were in the street told me to buy drugs, and he would send me whatever I wanted in the drug line, and as soon as I could get to Atlanta he would visit me and set me up in a commission store. I supposed it was all understood between him and Rosecrans.

I need not worry about it when I bought my drugs. I traded where I had bought 50 cents worth of goods while I was boarding in town. He did not stop in the store when I traded; I wondered at it. We did not get back to Louisville till 12 at night on Saturday; the ferry-boat detained us. I had agreed to receive my knitting-machine at 7 o'clock that night; I could not get it on Sunday. On Sunday evening he told me he had got a pass to go from Boyle, but he telegraphed to Nashville to see if it was all right; seemed very much elated. I ought to have mentioned before that my drugs were brought from New Albany in a carpet bag. He carried it for me and some little bundles besides. While I lighted the gas he set my things into my room and bid me was not in my room. I called the landlord. He said the guard found it standing on the out door step. I told him he did not for there was a light in the hall; Forsythe preceded me upstairs and that he set it down by my door while I was unlocking it, and that after he bid me good night I looked to see if there was anything left but there was nothing there. The landlord said [he] had it put in the office. The facts were when he bid me good night he took the satchel to the office; had it examined (the key was in it); then telegraphed to Nashville. When to Gallatin without molestation forthwith. My trunk was not opened. I told him on Sunday night I had to stay until Tuesday night on account of my knitting-machine. He said I must go with him and he would leave a line to have it expressed on the next train but I took a carriage and got it before the cars started. The officers from Nashville met us at Bowling Green and arrested me at Mitchellville, fifty miles this side of Gallatin; took me to Nashville where they confiscated everything.

I was arrested on Monday before Christmas and have never known what evidence there was against me nor on what footing I was here until to-day. He has sworn falsely and misrepresented other things then said jocosely. The officer told me at Nashville that the fact of Gallating being attacked the very night I would have got there made it look like a preconcerted plan, but it was a feint of some of his men while like a preconcerted plan, but it was a feint of some of his men while he attacked Elizabethtown, but I knew nothing whatever more than what I had learned by Morgan's adjutant two weeks before, and I had been delayed and so had he by the Hartsville fight, and it was purely accidental my starting that day. I never spoke with Morgan nor any other officer of the Confederacy higher than a lieutenant-colonel and then only about my pass. Perhaps I ought to except General Polk. He is an old acquaintance, but politics were never mentioned. I never had anything to do with political affairs, neither do I wish to have.
"I am perfectly willing to make oath that this is as near the truth as I can get it from memory.
"MRS. CLARA JUDD. "

MILITARY PRISON, Alton, Ill., May 15, 1863.
Colonel W. HOFFMAN, Commissary-General of Prisoners, Washington, D. C.:

COLONEL; I have the honor to forward herewith an application* of the female prisoner, Mrs. Clara Judd, now in confinement in this prison, for a parole to go to her friends in the State of Minnesota. She desires this indulgence on account of her health which for some time past has not been very good. The parole is recommended by her attending physician, Assistant Surgeon Wall, of the Seventy-seventh Ohio Volunteers, the prison physician. I in close also a copy of the charges against Mrs. Judd. From what I have seen of Mrs. Judd since she has been under my control I am inclined to think if she were permitted to go to Minnesota she would probably remain there and give no further trouble during the war. I have the honor to be, sir, with much respect, your most obedient servant, T. HENDRICKSON, Major Third Infantry, Commanding the Prison.

OFFICE OF THE COMMISSION
RELATING TO STATE PRISONERS,
Washington, April 1, 1862.

Brigadier General JAMES S. WADSWORTH, &C., Washington.

GENERAL: If they consent* you will please convey Mrs. Rose O'N. Greenhow, * * * prisoners at present held in the Old Capitol Military Prison in this city, beyond the lines of the U. S. forces into the State of Virginia and release them upon their giving their written parole of honor that they will not return north of the Potomac River during the present hostilies without permission of the Secretary of War.
Very respectfully, yours. JOHN A. DIX.

Added info. Cases of Mrs. Greenhow* was arrested on the 23rd day of August, 1861, in the city of Washington by order of the War Department and was placed under military guard at her own house. She was afterward transferred to the Old Capitol Prison. She was charged with being a sply in the interest of the rebels and furnishing the insurgent generals with important information relative to the movements of the Union forces. At the time of her arrest a number of cipher letters and a large quantity of correspondence containing military information evidently intendent for the insurgents were found torn into fragments in the stove where they had probably been cast by her. Some of these fragments were assorted and placed together so as to be read and copied. Mrs. Greenhow while imprisoned did not hesitate to express her sympathy for the success of the rebelion. The said Rose O'N. Greenhow remained in custody in the Old Capitol Prison February 15, 1862, when in conformity with the order of the War Department of the preceding day she was transferred to the charge of that Department.

OFFICE PROVOST-MARSHAL-GENERAL,
Wheeling, March 9, 1863.

Colonel W. HOFFMAN, Commissary-General of Prisoners.

SIR: I have to apologize for an unintentional error in my late report of the female prisoner Mary June Preter. I set her down as one, but it now appears she is two. The jailer informs me that she has been enceinte about five months. This complicates the matter somewhat. I presume I will soon receive final instructions from you concerning this one and Marain McKenzie, both arrested on same charge, wearing soldiers' apparel and frequenting our camps in that grab.
Very respectfully, JOS. DARR, JR., Major and Provost-Marshal-General.

Having no friends there and no money to take her home, she preferred remaining with her brother, although the medical men in charge at Madison, Wis., would have given her her liberty and sent her back as far as Cairo.
-----------------------------

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.
---------------------------------

Araminta Palmer, born in Pike County, Ky., is about twenty-two years of age; has mostly lived in Great Bend, [Meigs] County, Ohio; was married about two years since; went to Columbus, Ky., with her husband about a year and a half since, where her husband, an invalid, was sworn to support the Confederacy. Her husband has been dead ten months; was a cook in the Confederate hospital at Island Numbers 10 when taken prisoner on the 8th of last April. Has no relations within 800 miles of her and has been sickly in camp. Her parents are good Union people.

Her present husband is a seafaring man, whom she married in Baltimore two years since. Both husband and wife were respectively employed as cook and stewardess on board the steamer Red Rover when taken by General Buell at Island Numbers 10 and both sent prisoners to Camp Douglas together with a little boy eight years of age.

--------------------------------------

Bridget Higgins, born in Galway, Ireland; came to America in 1857; was married in Baltimore.

She has followed the fortunes of her husband since and they were taken prisoners at Island Numbers 10. Does not know that she has any relatives in this country. Is in delicate health.

They Were Only Boys

The time in a boys life should be filled with play and thinking of grant adventures, but in the time of war there was little time for play. But for the boy who was looking for some adventure would have many chances to find it. Many would follow a regiment just to watch the fight others would take up arms to fight. Many a army camp of both sides had boys in them even though it was against the regulations. One reason the officers aloud it, it was that the boys reminded them of their own sons they left behind. Some of the younger boys would be adopted by a company as a mascot for good luck. Boys were used as letter carriers, look outs and spies, and many would pay the high price for doing so with their young life’s.

Note. Most of this information will come from the official recorders of the Union and Confederate Armies which is housed at the State University of Ohio.

Civil War.

Prisoner of War.

James Kincaid.

James Kincaid. - Boy of sixteen; born in Fayette County; son of James Kincaid; lives on head of Loop Creek. Says he never hand anything to do with the enemy or the home guard. Was arrested in August; has been in jail since. Willing to take the oath of allegiance. Colonel Coleman says this boy lives in a disaffected neighborhod. His father is a quiet man, and it is understood he and his family are not of the disaffected party. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.

GENERAL ORDERS, HDQRS. DEPARTMENT OF NEW MEXICO, Numbers 4.
Santa Fe. N. Mex., February 18, 1865.

January 8. -Mr. George Cooler, wagon and forage master at Fort Arizona, N. Mex., with ten infantry soldiers and a party of Mexican boy, citizens, while on a scout after Indians, recovered 1 Mexican boy, named Vincente Ubano, who was stolen by the Indians near the Pecos River.
----------------------------

Corpl. James Dunlavy.

I witnessed the capture of Major-General Marmaduke by Corpl. James Dunlavy, of Company D, Third Iowa Cavalry. Marmaduke was endeavoring to rally his men and Dunlavy was galloping toward him, occasionally firing at him. Marmaduke evidently mistook him for one of his own men and started toward him, reproving him for firing on his friends. At least I so judged from what I could see and hear, and so the boy afterward told me. The boy stopped and coolly waited until Marmaduke got within twenty or thirty rods of him, then covered him with his carbine and ordered him to dismount and surrender or he would fire. Marmaduke dismounted and his horse galloped off. Seeing that I was an officer the boy proposed to turn him over to me, but I declined being bothered with a prisoner. General Marmaduke then said: "Sir, you are an officer. i claim protection at your hands. I am a general officer - General Marmaduke." I then took charge of him and informed him that I would protect him until delivered to you as a prisoner of war, at which he seemed very much relieved. The boy then spoke up and said, "Colonel, remember If took him prisoner; I am James Dunlavy, corporal of company D, Third Iowa Cavalry." I told the boy (who was severely wounded in the right forearm, but who still grasped his pistol with vigor and energy) to come along also, and he should have the honor of being introduced to you as the captor of Marmaduke. On the way General Marmaduke complained of being dismounted, and Dunlavy promptly apologized, saying, "If I had known you were a general officer I should have allowed you to remain on horseback." Marmaduke then informed me that he was very faint and weak and could not walk much farther. meeting a soldier with a led horse I took charge of him and mounted my prisoner. Soon after this I met Major McKenny, of your staff, and proffered to turn the prisoner over to him, but he was too intent on getting to the front to be troubled with him. On my way back I saw one or two general officers, but preferred delivering my prisoner to the commanding general of the Army of the Border, and you will remember that I accordingly placed him in your own hands, at the same time introducing him captor, giving his full name, company, and regiment. this it the true, unvarnished story of the capture of Marmaduke, about which there has been so much misrepresentation in the newspapers.
----------------------------

Prisoner of War.

James Mayner.

James Mayner. - Says he was born in Raleigh [County], on Clear Fork of Coal River. Raised where he was born. Was arrested half a mile from home at John Stover's. Two men were with him, Sampson Stover and Creed Mayner. Creed Mayner ran and was shot. Sampson Stover was arrested with prisoner but afterward discharged. Says for the last year he lived with his brother on the Pound Fork of Sandy, in Wise County. There are no Union men there. Says he is not a Union man- is a Southern man. Never had anything to do with the home quarrel. Had not been at home two weeks when he was arrested. Heard Captain Dunbar, who lines on Coal River, was trying to get up a Union company, but he, prisoner, had nothing to do withit. Heard this from some men who had been down on Coal, but he would have nothing to do with it. Says he saw Dunber once after he came home but had no conversation with him. Is willing to take the oath of allegiance. Heard an election for the Wheeling government was to be held on Coal River but he did not anything to do with it. Captain Linkons of his neighborhood says his boy was away from home, he supposes in Wise County, when the Union company was formed. As there is no charge against this youth and I can find no one who makes any charge and as he seems to be fair and trutful I recommend his discharge.
------------------------------

Prisoner of war.

Jasper Melum.

Jasper Melum. - Not sixteen years old. Had on a Northern fatigue uniform. Says Captain Dunbar gave him this uniform and a gun. Says he had not volunteered or joined Dunbar's company. Says Dunbar was recruiting for the Northern army and his company had been stationed at Charleston. Says he was arrested at Jacob Harper's, on marshes of Coal River. Says part of the company had been on Coal River and he had been with them. He was taken up by two citizens. Captain Linkons testifies this boy was suspected to be one of a company Captain William Dunbar was raising for the U. S. army on Coal River. This boy seems to be truthul and honest and well disposed, but I do not see how he can be discharged. I recommend he be held as a prisoner of war.
------------------------------

Prisoner of war.

D. Shears

D. Shears. - A boy of seventeen years of age; joined the home guard; had musket given him; stood guard at Rhinehart's Mill; was taken prisoner there. I think this boy must for the present be held as prisoner of war.
------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

J. Keplinger.

J. Keplinger. - Another youth; joined the home guard; taken prisoner at Rhinehart's Mill. Says he received his musket from Daniel Shell. I think this boy should be held as prisoner of war.
-------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

William Connell.

William Connell. - A boy of seventeen; hardly. Taken with the home guard at Rhinehart's Mill. Says he had left his father and was in Keller's store when he joined the home guard. Says he was persuaded by Daniel Shel. Says his father was much distressed when he heard it. Is the son of T. R. Connell. As this youth was taken with arms in his hands I suggest he be held as a prisoner of war.

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF,
New Orleans, December 11, 1863.
GENERAL: An unpleasant affair occurred at Fort Jackson on the evening of the 9th instant. Lieutenant-Colonel Benedict, of the Fourth Regiment, Corps d'Afrique, having some difficulty with the troops there, struck and punished 2 soldiers with a whip.

Question. Did you ever see him maltreat any man; if so, when and where?

Answer. I saw him whip Harry Williams, a drummer boy, on the evening of the 9th instant. I have never seen him whip anybody else, but I have seen him handle men very roughly at guard-mount; shaking them. He struck Harry Williams from fifteen to twenty times with an army wagoner's whip or an artillery driver's whip. The boy had his coat off. I do not know what offense the boy had committed.

Robert P. Tannehill.

While encamped in a wood-land near that place R. P. Tannehill, of Company A, Texas Squadron, was by the accidental discharge of a gun launched into eternity. Robert was a brave soldier boy, always ready, devoted to the Southern cause, and the main prop of his widowed mother; but we laid our bold soldier boy to rest more than 1,000 miles from his fond mother, who little dreams, of the removal of her boy.

HEADQUARTERS FORT WARREN,
Boston Harbor, January 30, 1865.
Brigadier General H. W. WESSELLS,
Commissary- General of Prisoners, Washington, D. C .:

SIR: I have the honor to report that the following- named naval prisoner of war who was captured on the steamer Florida were this day released upon his signing a parole of honor to leave the United States within ten days after date of release, which are herewith transmitted, viz: James Cotter, cabin boy.
---------------------------------------

WAR DEPARTMENT, Richmond, November 21, 1862.
Brigadier General J. H. WINDER, Commanding, &c.

SIR: Upon the recommendation of S. S. Baxter, esq., you are directed to dispose of the following citizen prisoners in the manner indicated: James Amsco (a boy), to be discharged.
-----------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

William Stallins.

William Stallins. - Aged nineteen. Born in Loudoun; moved to Fairfax and volunteered in the Seventeenth Regiment Virginia Volunteers. At Lewinsville he got scared and went to his home and was turned out of his regiment, dishonored and branded with cowardice. This boy is proved to be faithful to the South and seems pentient for his conduct. He admits he behaved badly and was scared, but he is very anxious to volunteer and redeem his character for courage and good conduct. He was going with Fisher to volunteer when arrested. I recommend and opportunity be given him to redeem himself and that he be permitted to volunteer again.
----------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

John Hanaher.

John Hanaher. -Boy of sixteen. Lives with his father and was arrested at home in the absence of his parents. Says his father is a Methodist connected with the Southern Church. Has had no connection with the enemy in any way. Mr. Coleman says the general impression is his father is connected with the Northern Church, but since secession may have changed. This boy's examination is not satisfactory, but as no connection with the enemy appears I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance. Witness, Coleman.
------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

Albert Fuller.

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.
-----------------------------

Prisoner of War.

John Hays.

John Hays, a lad of twelve years of age, who was attached to Lieutenant Earl in some capacity which we could not ascertain and who remained with him after he was wounded, was held by Lieutenant Paddock as a prisoner of war.
-------------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

Stewart Armstrong.

Stewart Armstrong. -Born in Greenbrier. Moved to Fayette when he was a boy. Twenty-five years old now. Voted against secession, but turned when he heard the Union was broken; supported the South. Is opposed to the Federalist Never saw the Yankee army or had any communication with them. Willing to take the oath of allegiance. Fair character. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.

Thomas J. Cole.

Thomas J. Cole, private, Third Regiment Georgia Reserves, Company H, age sixteen, arrived at Andersonville on the 20th of July. Was ordered to guard prisoners at the stockade. Performed guard duty every third day, two hours on and four hours off during the twenty-four hours. Before leaving home received a slight scratch on the side of the left foot below the ankle. This boy had not been accustomed to wear shoes at home, and on the way to Andersonville the shoes bruised and inflamed the small injury. This small abrasion did not heal after the commencement of his duties as a soldier at Andersonville. It did not, however, give him any special trouble or appear inflamed until about the 1st of September, three weeks ago, and forty-two days after his arrival at this post. Up to this time this young recruit had never been inside the stockade, and had never stood guard around or within the hospital inclosure. On the 4th of September the patient was compelled to quit duty, and on the 12th instant (ten dyas ago) he was transferred to the Confederate general hospital. At this time the gangrenous spot was not larger than a silver half dollar, and presented an inflamed areolar in the sound skin, elevated everted edges, and elevated, pulpy, raged, greenish and grayish cerntral mass. Up to the present time the grangrene has spread rapidly, and the wound now presents a large, fungous, fetid mass, three or four inches in diameter. Hemorrhage continually takes place from numerous small eroded blood vessels. Several smaller gangrenous spots are visible upon the leg. The ankle joint is exposed. The constitutional symptoms are well marked in this case. Last night when I examined him he had a hot fever with rapid pulse, parle, anaemix, sallow complexion. This morning he had less heat of surface and the pulse is less frequent, but still there is a feverish excitement, and he is very nervous and weak; cries like a child when his wound is touched even in the gentlest manner. Bowels loose.

Frank Albor.

Frank Albor (a cabin boy) who was part of the crew of the privateer Petrel,
has recently died in prison of consumption.

Prisoner of War.

Thomas N. Fisher.

Thomas N. Fisher. - Aged seventeen. Born in Loudoun; moved to Fairfax. Says when arrested he was coming in to volunteer in Bob Radford's cavalry. Passed our lines (not knowing it) in the night; was arrested. It appeared no evidence before me this boy is warm in the Southern cause. On two occasions he borrowed a gun from a neighbor and scouted on the Potomac to get a shot at the Yankee who were expected to cross. He wishes to go either into a cavalry company or the Eight Virginia, as his relations are in that regiment. He is a brave and true Southern boy and I hope his wishes will be gratified
---------------------------------

Prisoner

R. Clay.

R. Clay-A boy sixteen years of age, son of Charles Clay. Says he never had anything to do with the Northern army or with the Union men. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
-------------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

Donald McKay.

The Salvor remained and subsequently I learned from Mr. Thomas Savage, vice-consul-general at Havan, that Captain McKay sold her to British owners and her name was changed to the M. S. Perry. While sailing under British colors the Perry was captured by the U. S. steamer Keystone State, Captain G. H. Scott. Captain McKay and his son Donald, a mere boy, were on board. The Salvor was carried to Philadelphia, condemned and sold by the admiralty court as a prize. Captain McKay was detained in Fort Taylor and his son sent to Fort Lafayette. By permission of Major B. H. Hill, commandant of Fort Taylor, Captain McKay appears in Washington to ask the liberation of himself and son and that they have permission to return to their home.

Added info. Donald McKay was captured from on board the steamer Salvor while attempting to run the blockade some twenty miles south of Tortugas by Captain Scott, commanding U. S. steamer Keystone State, on the 14th of October, 1861. McKay, a boy fifteen years of age, was the son of the owner and master of the Salvor, which vessel contained a cargo of contraband and other goods. He was brought to Philadelphia by a prize crew on board the Salvor and sent to Fort Lafayette where he remained February 15, 1862, when in accordance with an order from the War Department of the preceding day he was transferred to the charge of that Department.

Guides Of History.

The Guide was a very important person for with out a guide, many wagon train, and Army would have gotten lost. The guides job was a dangers one for little pay, sometimes he would have to fight Indians, other bad man and in the time of war, if he was caught in the wrong place he could be charged as a spy. There were famous guide and not so famous, which either it don’t made the job no less dangers. The guides here may not have been famous but there are some of his ancestors looking for him and hoping to add his name to their family history.

Note. The following information comes from the many departments of the Library of Congress.
----------------------------

Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1785.

John Franklin was engaged as a guide at £50 Pennsylvania currency per month, that he was wounded at Chemung on the 13th. August following which rendered him unable to help himself until the 4th. day of April 1780 and that he has received pay to the 10th. of October 1779 only. They therefore submit the following resolve.
Whereas it appears that John Franklin who served as a guide on the Indian expedition commanded by Major General Sullivan in 1779 was by a wound he received in the service rendered incapable of assisting or supporting himself from the 13th. day of August 1779 to the 4th. day of April following, and that his pay as a guide ceased on the 10th. day of October 1779.

Prisoner of War.

Thomas H. Duke. - Born in September; raised there, and worked in the mill of Alexander Boteter until July, 1860; then went to Antietam Mills, in Maryland. Staid there till Christmas, 1860; then returend to Shepherdstown and worked for two months for William Sherrard; then went back to Antietam Mills and worked off and on there until haverst; then went back to Antietam and worked until he came over to see him mother, when he was arrested. Says he got there on Thursday and was taken on Friday, and taken to Colonel Ashby's camp. This boy is strongly suspected to have guided the party that seized Captain Alexander Boteler when he (Captain Boteler) was taken by the Massachusetts men. Duke acknoweldges he came over that might and returned the next morning. He denies all connection with the affair, and says the party was led by one Kezer, a deserter. He is also suspected to have come over when he was taken as guide to a party intending to attack Colonel Ashby's camp. He admits he was with the party, and escapted them by promising to return; but says he gave information to prevent Ashby's surprise. Says he was withe the some party when they crossed the river some nights before; that he was compelled to go with them but pretended he did not know the road and they turned back. I do not like this boy's manner, and strongly suspect him to be in complicity with the enemy in these two affairs. He is near twenty-one years old. Is willing to take the oath of allegiance and is desirous to enlist. I think the best disposition that can be made of him is to permit him to enlist provided he is sent to the South.

Prisoner of War.

JOSE MARIA RIVAS.

CHARGE: Lurking or acting as a spy.

Specification. -In this, that the said 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.
----------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

Tom Heath.

SIR: I have examined the papers in the case of one Tom Heath, a freeman of color, who was imprisoned in one of the military jails of this city on the 5th instant. Heath is a resident of Goochland County and is charged by a gentleman of the highest respectability and veracity with having acted as a guide to the enemy during the recent raid of General Kilpatrick and Colonel Dahlgren through Goochland. The only witness I learn against the accused is a son of Mr. S. D. Fisher, whose testimony, in the absence of other witnesses, would not be sufficient proof of the overt act of treason, although there is no doubt of Heath having adhered to the enemy, giving them aid and comfort. His offense is one of so grave a character that I regret to say he cannot, I fear, be successfully prosecuted for treason. The act of Congress of the 15th of February, 1864, providing for the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in certain cases, will enable the Secretary of War to inflict the punishment of imprisonment upon the accused. He has clearly been guilty of the crime of communicating intelligence to the enemy, giving him aid and comfort and holding intercourse with the enemy without necessity and without the permission of the Confederate States, and he may therefore be imprisoned and denied all recourse to the writ of habeas corpus. As hard labor for the benefit of the Confederate States should be superadded to the punishment of imprisonment, I have no recommend the immediate reference of the papers in this case to Judge Campbell, the Assistant Secretary of War, who will issue the necessary orders for the imprisonment of Heath. The crime with which he is charged is one of such frequent occurrence that an example should be made of Heath. It is a matter of notoriety in the sections of the Confederacy where raids are frequent that the guides of the enemy are nearly always free negroes and slaves.
-------------------------------------------

Prisoner of War.

Claggett Fitzhugh.

Said Fitzhugh is now held in the Old Capitol Prison as a citizen and political prisoner, having been arrested in September, 1862, for aiding and abetting the enemy, acting as guide to the rebel General Longstreet, &c. He, however, claims to be treated as a prisoner of war, asserts that when captured he had been regularly enlisted in the rebel service, and as such must have been included in the exchange of prisoners heretofore carried out between the tow armies. It is admitted that if be was an enlisted man at the time of his capture ha has been exchanged and should be set at liberty.

There is no evidence whatever in the case, beyond his own assertion, that Fitzhugh was ever enlisted in the rebel service as soldier or otherwise. On the contrary the circumstances detailed in the papers all go to show that the was, when arrested, acting in the character of a traitorous and disloyal citizen, and as such giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It appears that he resided at Mont Alto, Franklin county, Pa., and had held for years a responsible position as clerk and deputy manager of the iron-works at that place; that he had made himself thoroughly acquainted in the course of his business with the roads in Western Maryland and on the frontier of Pennsylvania; that he joined the enemy upon their invasion of the latter State on the 13th of September, and was captured the next day; that when captured he was mounted and armed, and acting not in the capacity of a soldier, but as guide to the ammunition train of General Longstreet's command. It is not probable that an old resident of that region occupying a respectable and responsible position in society would leave his home and his business for the purpose of enlisting as a rebel soldier. It is much more probable that he joined the enemy for the purpose of assisting them with the knowledge and information which he possessed as a citizen and as a man of intelligence and influence in the neighborhood, and the occu[pation in which he was engaged when captured was precisely such as his previous residence and local knowledge had best fitted him for.

It appears that his loyalty had been ling suspected among his fellow citizens. Under the circumstances it is not deemed that the prisoner's own statement should be held sufficient to settle his status, and in accordance with the suggestions in the within letters* it is recommended that the prisoners bee returned to the authorities of Franklin County to be prosecuted under the act of Congress of July 17, 1862, Chapter CXCV, or such other act as the evidence available in the case may indicate as more directly applicable to his offense. In view of the known disloyalty of Fitzhugh and his efficiency as a guide it is for the President to determine whether, in case he be remanded to the civil authority during the present invasion of Pennsylvania by the rebels, it will not be expedient to suspend in his case the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus.

Prisoners of War.

Guides James Hall and Jesse Turner, and family members.

You have as 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, with the proviso that they shall not be reinstated in the former neighborhood except by force of arms. Allow me most respectfully to suggest that in line of proposed to be sent within your lines you restore tome as many slaves who have been forcibly taken from their masters within the bounds of this State and from the vicinity in which these free negroes resides. I have no authority from my Government to commence this negro exchange, but from the recent proclamation of your President I would respectfully suggest that you would be perfectly justified in acting on my proposition. Whether you accede to my proposition of restoring slaves or not, still if you desire these free negroes within your lines you will please signify it and I will send them under escort to any place you may designate.

Elijah Grossland, acting guide.

Statement of Lieutenant Fancis Reichert, battalion adjutant, Thirteenth Missouri State Militia.

Question. What if anything do you know of the killing of prisoners at or near this post in the month of August?

Answer. Yes. I killed two and wounded one when out in command of sixteen men. One of them was killed by my men last Monday and the other last Tuesday. One was Elijah Grossland. He lived in Heath's Hollow. The other men were James and Washington Lemons, brothers. One of them was killed and the other wounded, all living in Heath's Hollow. The circumstances were these: We found a camp of forty rebels under command of Captain Kerry. They all ran and we followed, trying to shoot the whole of them, but only succeeded in hitting a few, killing 2, wounding 1, and taking 1 prisoner. I took Grossland at Adam's house. I had been following Grossland ten miles. When I found him I inquired if he had any arms, and both he and Adams denied having any at all, but upon making a search a revolver with three shots in it was found on the person of Grossland and musket under the roof of the house. I put him under guard, thinking I wound hang or shoot him right there because I found him under arms and he denied being armed, but I afterwards thought I would use him for a guide. I kept him for a guide from about the middle of the day till about 11 p. m. of the same day. He had given me a list of about forty rebels in the vicinity, and when I wanted him to tell me where their camp was he refused to tell me and said that I must hunt it myself and that he would tell no Dutchman. My sergeant told him then that he wound have to tell or be killed, and then he tried to get away in the bushes and one of my men shot him. This was on Monday. On Tuesday we found the Lemons boys, Washington and Jim. They both ran. One of them was wounded in the back and the other lay down behind a long and begged for quarter and I took him prisoner and sent him to camp with two privates. Before they got to camp he tried to get away and they shot him. Grossland used to belong to Coleman's rebel regiment.

Guide Samuel Clark.

SIR: Samuel Clark, of Harrison County, Va., was engaged in assisting the quartermaster of General Morris in getting forage and as a guide in Randolph County, and on the 31st day of July, 1861, was taken prisoners by the Confederate at Big Springs and taken to Huntersville, thence to Richmond and afterward as is reported to New Orleans. I doubt, however, his removal to the latter city, Mr. Clark was not regularly enrolled in any company. He is a heavy-built man, dark complexion, arching eyebrows, black whiskers and a true and valuable man.

The Inman's Of History.

The other day I was received a mail telling me thank for some of the information I had just put up, I was working on a surname ( Bailey ) page at the time. Then I happen to notice his name ( Inman ), I thought how unusual, and as I was going to need a new name for my next page I decided his, Those of you Inman’s who see and read this page will find it helpful, and was enjoyable to read.

Revolutionary War & War of 1812.

Note. I know some of you had Bailey’s ancestors in the Revolutionary War & War of 1812. And you would like to have some information on them. I get this kind of information from the pension rolls of the United State and as it's so vast I could not list every State here, so this will be a look up. If you would like to look for a ancestor write to me, with his name and the State & County he died in, if you know them. My address can be found in my profile.

Pennsylvania Biographies.

JOHN W. INMAN, merchant, Cannelton, was born in this county in 1840. His grandfather, Henry Inman, came from east of the Allegheny mountains, and was one of the first to settle west of the Ohio river. He died at the age of ninety years. He had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Abraham, married Elizabeth Thatcher, and by her had seven children, of whom John W. is the eldest son. Abraham was reared to agricultural pursuits, was a cabinet maker by trade, and afterward a farmer. He died on his farm of 175 acres near the headwaters of Brady’s run, aged seventy-six years. John W. was reared on the home farm, and remained there until twenty-two years of age. He was married in 1862 to Hannah Y., daughter of William Edwards, and they have seven children: William G., Elizabeth, Clyde Maud, William Henry, Harrie, Raymond and Leland. Mr. Inman learned the carpenter’s trade, which he followed for thirty-two years. Since 1885 he has been a merchant at Cannelton, where he is also postmaster. He is a member of the Baptist church; politically a Democrat.

NELSON INMAN, carpenter and painter, Fallston, was born in Chippewa township. His parents, Abraham and Elizabeth (Thacker) Inman, were natives of Beaver county and of English and German origin. The father and grandfather were farmers, the latter a soldier in the war of 1812 in Captain Henry’s Company. The family were among the earliest settlers of Beaver County, and were here when the Indians were numerous in the vicinity. Our subject’s uncle was killed by the Indians in that township. Nelson, who is the sixth in a family of eight children, was reared in Chippewa township, and early in life learned the carpenter’s trade, afterward taking up painting. He now works at both trades and resides in the borough of Fallston, where he has a neat and substantial residence. In 1861 he enlisted in the 134th Regiment P. V., in Company I. He was in several battles, among them being Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Antietam, and was honorably discharged at the close of the war.

HDQRS. 88TH AND 74TH ILLINOIS INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS, Duck River, December 21, 1864.

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken by this command in the battles of Nashville on the 15th and 16th instant:

The regiment was not immediately engaged, but moved into position at different points on the line with its brigade and was under fire much of the time. In the first day's engagement a detail from the command was upon the skirmish line under direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Boone, division officer of the day, and conducted itself well. In the afternoon volunteers were called for to pass in rear of a rebel battery, and, if possible, capture it. Some twenty were engaged in the work, and the result was a success.

Many prisoners came into our lines during the two days, but it will be impossible to estimate correctly their number, nor am I inclined to claim them as captures of the regiment. The casualties were: Privates Josiah Inman, Company D.
-----------------------------------
Shiloh.
Company A- Alexander Inman, killed.
