TexasRebel1980, I have Ancestry . com. I looked in 1860 census under Mcneese for Texas. I found a William Mcneese in Panola County, but was age 10. Let me know if you, or anybody else here at CWT needs a lookup.

Hi Texaswildcat, I couldn't find any Mcnellans in Soldier Search, although I did find a Joachim McNallen (74th Pennsylvania Inf). I'm trying to narrow down what I found in the census from 1800's up to 1930 in PA:

What is a first name of a Mcnellan ancestor who would be in the census records (born before 1930)?
Do you know what county or town he lived in?

Crud, sorry but I don't have a first name, but the town the family would have lived in would be Harrisburg Pennsylvania, hopefully that will help

John B. Sinclair, There was also a John T. Sinclair in K Co. of the 28th. Very likely a relative as well

Texas 80 Reb
Haven`t purused the notes people have written in help, but I just recieved a book that the title may interest you. It`s called "Peculiar Honor". It`s a dissertation really more than a book. It has some statistical data but very good. I have just started it so I really can`t comment yet. All I now know from this book [and vacationing in the lone star last Oct. Dove Hunting], is that Texans don`t like to walk. Getting Texans to give up thier horses and become INF. was next to impossible. Was that what made the texas INFY. units Lee had so mean.

18th, Tx, Vol,
Have finished fore mentioned book, No they don`t like their, "Horses Yanked", and showed thru some bits of muntiny later on in their careers. A fine unit that gave it all when asked to do so. Had little fighting thru the vicksburg fiasco. They did learn to march though and were named "The Grey hounds" due to thier ability to "Press On".
At one time achieveing 45mils, in 36hrs. Surpassing Thomas Jackson during his valley campaign. After bad times at "Milliken Bend" and a couple others of Gen. Taylor`s design, they returned to the lone star after being beaten up in LA.
After their discharge: Col. Randel[61-63] did not suvive, 60% of line officers didn`t either. Along with "Normal" stat`s more were lost to desease[SP] than combat.

I, Quit
