Civil War Surgeons

Civil War Surgeons

I am looking for information on a Civil War Surgeon named Hiram Bingham
White possibly at Hampton Roads, Virginia. He was born in Erving Mass in
1822. His brother Jonathan White was also a surgeon. If you can point me
in the right direction to search I would appreciate it.

Thanks Holly Carbonneau

Civil war veteran named Jacob W. Hil

Civil war veteran named Jacob W. Hil

  Hello! I\'m doing a school project on a civil war veteran named Jacob W. Hill. He was a desserter, then re- enlisted in Michigan. When he re- enlisted he claimed to be named John B. Hill, but most importantly for me he claimed to be from STANSTEAD CANADA EAST (which he wasn\'t). We found from the census records that his wife (Zeruha) was born in canada, all the census records said she was from CANADA EAST. We can assume that STANSTEAD CANADA EAST AND CANADA EAST are the same place. What I would like to know is if you had any information on where STANSTEAD CANADA EAST is today (PEI, Quebec, maritime..) or if you had any info on it at all. Thanks! Mel

I have always wondered how to find out the names of Hornbacks who fought in
the Civil War... and on which side(s) they fought.  Is there an archive of soldiers' names.  Your
website is fascinating! 

Thanks Bill Hornback

Military Hat identification

Military Hat identification

I have come across a Civil War style / Spanish American War hat.  Cannot
identify.  Was wondering if you could help identify it.  I came across
your name on a google search.  I have spent hours "googling" military hats
and have yet to come across a picture for comparison.

Hat:  Black w/front black cord stretched across and just above short black
bill.  Manufactured by Horstmann / Philadelphia.

      Frilly, meshy Gold decoration attached below black bill & chord,
stretched across entire front of cap.

        Chord is attached to cap with insignia buttons: Latin: "In Hoc Signa
Vinces" / Cross through a Crown (Was thinking it was a medical hat                  based on my research, but not sure)

      The bill is short, black, and embossed

I showed the hat to a fellow teacher who does Civil War Re-enactments.  He
thought it might be Spanish American War.

Was just curious if you could steer me in the right direction?

Thanks.  I am a high school English teacher in Minnesota.

Mississippians in the Civil War

Mississippians in the Civil War

 Do you know if any one has the names of Mississippians in the Civil War.  I am especially interested in the early part of 1862 in the battle of Shiloh and the battles around Corinth, MS (Tishomingo County).  Thanks Howard Gann

Query on soldiers after civil war

Query on soldiers after civil war

AUG. 1/08. Hello - I was checking out movies on IMDb database to order from
Amazon.com and came across a story about US soldiers who, after the Civil
War, joined in other military action in other countries. I'd never heard
of that before. Can you give any info on it? I expect they may have joined
to fight in Mexico. One Civil War commander was invited to train the
Egyptian army, from what I read, so I really don't know what to think on
the subject. Would appreciate a bit of 'light'. Thanks. I live in British
Columbia, Canada. Just curious on the subject. -

bye, Lora

Slavery in Indiana

Slavery in Indiana

MY ex\'s ancestor, Nancy Emily Wright\'s father owned a lot of land in southern Indiana.  The old story goes that he was about to import slaves but the Civil War broke out so he abandoned the project.  Could you tell me just what it took to bring slaves into Indiana (Spencer County).  Did he have to bribe people?  My deceased father knew of places in Indiana where there was slavery.  Of course this does not appear in elementary school texts.  What can you tell me.

My gggrandfather was a shoemaker in the civil war. His name is Zachariah Rogers, SR. He was born on February 3, 1841 and was signed into the Confederate Army on October 8, 1861. He made \"brogans\" for the army. He travelled with the army until 1864 when he was sent home to continue shoemaking until his surrender in Salisburg, NC on April 29, 1865. Any additional info would be appreciated. I also have a my gggrandfather from my mothers paternal side that was sent over from Sweden. I would like any info you can give me. His name was Otto W. Grandquest and he was born in Goteborg Sweden in 1819. His Mother and father both died in the big plague in 1865. Their names were Meternick and Christina Grandquest.
