Lookups Offered

I'll take a look, but I've had a lot of luck emailing the authors that reference things and having them send me copies. They are usually quite giving. Perhaps Mr. Cozzens can tell you where he accessed it or send you a copy?

Hi @Keiri - Can I ask for one of your kind favors? According to Cozzens' "Shenandoah 1862" one Alexander Lydy wrote an article called "The Battle of Port Republic" which appeared in the "National Tribune" in its issue for December 12, 1912. I have tried everything I can think of on line and can't find it (I stink at web research). Sometime if you get a chance (no hurry at all) maybe you could see if you could? Thank you.
 
Thank you for your help with Hugh McTague.

I found out that after the war, he settled in Cannelton, PA (about 25 miles from me). What is really odd is that I just found out about another supposed Confederate soldier buried in the same cemetery who also settled in Cannelton after the war. His name was David Theobald Corbe. Can you find anything on him? All I know of him is what is on the headstone and the grave markers ...

Thank you Keiri.

Could you please research about Company H of the 130th Pennsylvania volunteers? Their roster contains much less casualties than the other companies in the 130th. My ancestor hails from H company and I can't fathom why they only have a few people killed.
 
http://www.civilwararchive.com/Unreghst/unpainf6.htm#130th Comparatively, the company is fairly small. I don't see anything more specific but my guess is - well, luck. The only other idea I have is perhaps they were sent on detached duty to somewhere less dangerous.

You might find this interesting: http://tinyurl.com/jurshlt

I got these from Dornbrusch, you might find more information in these first-person accounts: http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_all&q=the+130th+regiment+pennsylvania+volunteers

Here are some letters: http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=uva-sc/viu01351.xml;query=;

Hope these resources help

Thank you very much, this is very generous of you.
 
My wife's full name is Carol Eborn Taylor and I am wondering if there are any Confederates on the Eborn side of the family. The Eborns were a rather large extended family based in and around Washington NC ('Little Washington'). Carol is named for her grandmother Ruth Vernon Eborn Taylor, born Feb 22, 1899. She would be recorded as having been born in Bayside or Bath, NC, or maybe Washington. I'm guessing that her grandfathers would have been of military age during the Civil War.

Lucky you. Not only were there confederate, but union Eborns from NC. You want to go to this site, search for soldiers, type in Eborn, pick NC, and then it'll default to confederate. Run the search again clicking union for your union guys. https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers.htm

Yes! I see that the NPS site list 12 different Eborns but I have no clue how to figure out if any of these guys were Ruth Eborn's grandfather or great grandfather.
 
I am sorry I couldn't find your reply. All I was saying is that it is a wonderful gesture on your part to help others thank you and believe me I know that work is not easy.

You may want to start a free familysearch account and do some digging

Do you think that the most likely answer is that they were lucky? Do you think there's a chance that Company H's commander and staff simply did the least amount of work possible, therefore leaving out that some people were wounded/killed?
 
It's possible. I mean, how off are we talking, percentage-wise, in terms of the size of the company? I noted the list I looked at it was about 2/3 the size of the company. Perhaps there were less of them *shrug* Personally I would find the primary sources and see what I could glean. This site is my secret weapon. It has, to my knowledge, the most complete collection of information on books/etc with references to units in them. I've found books that didn't even have it in the index. It's like someone hand went through every book LOL. Anyway here you go: http://usawc.summon.serialssolutions.com/search?s.q="150th+pennsylvania"

Something in there might answer you

Keiri, I think I read where you have been doing research for 20 years, I hope you will answer a question for me. I found my ggrandfather on the National Park Service web site, 16th Regiment Alabama(I know this to be a fact) I also found him or someone with the same name 16th Regiment Tenn.Cavalry. In this page, his name is spelt Brigg, on the other page it is Briggs also he has an alternate name as Bugg. In the 1870 census the whole family is listed as Buggs. I saw where you had the same situation happen to your family. Question is, is it common to see confederates listed with different regiments?
