Philip:
My great-grandfather Simon C. Carey, who was in the 71st E.M.M. was from Ireland -
County Clare. He entered the service at 17 years of age. He died a month after
returning home from the Civil War. The only stories my Dad told were that he
performed the "Irish Jig" for the troops. I'm sure those from Ireland enjoyed that.
On his papers, when he was mustered out of the 1st Cavalry in 1865 he was issued a
sabre. When I was a child, I remember seeing that saber at home. It was sold or given
away by my
Can someone tell me if the 65th Enrolled Missouri Militia was a
Confederate Regiment or a Union Regiment?
I leave for Ireland on April 24 and I'm trying gather as much info as
possible.
Henry B. Carey enlisted in the 65th E.M.M. He then enlisted in the 16th
Missouri Infantry Co. B (CSA). Could it happen that a person would
enlist on one side and then join another? He was in the 1860 Marion
County, MO census-birthplace Ireland (County?).
Simon C. Carey or S.C. Carey enlisted in the 71st E.M.M. on April 2

Good morning,
The American Family Immigration History Center at Ellis Island will be
opening on April 17th.
This will afford everyone an opportunity to research their family
ancestry.
Best wishes, MICHELLE LYONS

That was a interesting post Dennis. I have been researching Fettermans
career and the 80 men who died with him for 3 years now. Not to much on the
subject. There are some groups doing research on that period Ill see if I
can dig anything up for you. Joe

Thank you for the information. I appreciate your response.
Another question, if I may. I have checked on a Lilburn Carey to see if he has
a connection to my Simon C. Carey as they enlisted in the same day. I have
papers that indicate Simon C. Carey enlisted in the 71st E.M.M. I have the
record of Lilburn having a physical exam performed by this Dr. Glen Owen
Hardemann (physician/surgeon of the 71st E.M.M.). Then, I see (online image) for
Lilburn Carey/Cary through the Ancestry.com website (pension records

A few months ago, Ancestry.com offered free access to their Civil War
database. I believe that I found my gg grandfather, John H. Cooley, at long
last! However, NARA informs me that no pension file exists. I've resent for
a search of the Military Service records ... hopefully that will be
successful.
If anyone has access to Ancestry.com, I would really appreciate some help.
Along with the information on his unit and period of service, they had some
sort of document regarding my gg grandfather tha
Can someone tell me what Regiment men from Cooper County, MO,. were in. My
ancestors were there in the l850 census, they they all disappeared. I know
not.
Incidentally to all of those who read and liked the Civil War letters of
Josiah Staley, I am placing them in the Gettysburg, Pa. Military Museum next
week. The l865 Map I had of the Southern Battlefields will also go to the
same Museum as well as the two volumes of Harpers Pictorial History Of The
Civil War, dated l864 and l865.
Thought it would be nice to take a departure from queries and talk about
what we had found out about our CW-era ancestors, as well as to just how
we discovered them.
Like it is for many others, the b/m/d listings in the family Bible
(originally owned by my g-grandfather, Dennis Kelleher) was one of my
initial source of information - in this case for my Kelleher line. Many
of the names and dates, however, are from long before my mother's time,
and so she either didn't know them or her knowledge is sketchy

Hello,
I was interested in the message below but wrote direct. To answer the first
question: Yes, sometimes men fought on either side. It was a dangerous place to
be.
More to the point, my GGGrandfather was Willis Pinkney Lindsey who served
with the 71st EMM as a second corporal, moving from his farm in Boone County
(next door to a brother whose sons fought for the South) to Saline County. I have
found him in the Saline County history of 1883, and he was buried there in 1904.
