1. 6th US Cavalry [1]
Thanks to all for the good suggestions and the information. I will continue working on it. Joanne
2. Unidentified subject! [1]
Re: WWI Lost Battalion, To Jim Albrecht. Wonderful post on that subject. I just finished reading an account in Laurence Stallings' , "The Doughboys," (1963 Harper & Row, Library of Congress # 62-14547). If I'm not mistaken Stallings was a marine with the 2nd Division. He also co-authored (with Maxwell Anderson) "What Price Glory" which (I think) made a stage play and two motion pictures. The battalion is given only a chapter in this work but it is still worth reading. Though out of print, Amazon tracked
3. Re: Civil War [1]
Ludia, I believe that Civil War Pension files rarely name the parents, but do often name the children and spouse. Did your ancestor live in NY until at least 1880? If so, you may be able to find the name of his parents on his death certificate after 1880. Also, you might want to mention the name and regiment of your ancestor. This list is archived and that will allow researchers to contact you. you posted: I have Ciivil War papers that I sent for, for my great grandfather but they do not list his paren
4. Plattsburg Barracks NY 1903 [1]
Where can I get E-Mail information on the old Plattsburg Barracks in Plattsburg NY? I need military papers on a soldier stationed there in Co "L", US 5th Infantry in 1903. I can only find snail mail addresses to the historical societies. Thank you, Mary Strovink Daukas E-mail: strovink@geocities.com Researching Lithuania: STROVINK, SHAKIS, STRAVINSKAS, STRAVINK
5. CIVIL WAR [1]
Thanks for the replies. OK, I will clarify myself a little Abram and Andrew Williams were brothers, of whom I am trying to find the parents of. I have Abram's pension file and no names but I did get a description of him, blonde hair, blue eyes, 6 foot tall. That was great. He is my ggrandfather and I can't find his death date, altho his wife filed for the pension in 1907. I have been to the town clerks here where they lived and they don't have any information on their volunteering or entering servi

7. Civil War Punishment [1]
I recently got the Civil War military record of Austin Hatch of Addison, Steuben Co., NY, who was a brother of my g-g-grandfather. Austin Hatch was court marshaled August 24, 1863 for "Sleeping on Post" and was sentenced "to be confined at hard labor under the charges of a guard, at such place as the commanding general may direct, for the period of six (6) months, with ball and chain." Was this a common punishment? He served at least part of the punishment, he was listed as "in confinement" on the July-A
8. CW Pensions & what they *might* contain [a Zouave, too?] [1]
After sleeping on this, I have to correct what I said yesterday. The naming of relationships is probably reliant on when the claim was made and/or the submitter/reviewer. I'm posting a separate note on that pension-- and probably a follow up when the next 99 pages get here.

I've never seen it. I even have a widows pension where *his* parents filled out a deposition & signed it. They never mentioned that they were his parents-- but stated that they were 'present at his birth and knew him all his life' and he was the Alfred LYON who married Sarah LYON who 'they had known for severa

13. RE: Civil War [1]
Pension files can contain just about anything. None of the ones related to me list the soldier's parents but I have seen some with pages torn from family Bibles. Someone said that they had never seen the physical description in a pension file. The one for John Kinsella (9th NY Heavy Artillery), my g-g-grandfather, has a physical description on his "Certificate of Disability for Discharge". I got one pension file for Jacob Sours of Huron, Wayne Co., NY (also 9th N.Y.H.A.). It had a church wedding certif
14. 6th US Cavalry - Civil War era [1]
Hello, My g-g-father John Klingman enlisted on April 8, 1865 (day before Appomatox Courthouse surrender) in the 6th US Cavalry band. He was a musician 1st class, played the cornet. Is there anyone out there who can tell me about the unit, where it was in 1865, and/or how to find out anything about it. I have tried state sites but they don't do US troops, and the US sites I have tried have been unsuccessful so far. Joanne Gregory gregory@primeline.com
15. McGuires [1]
Hi I am new to this list. Does the military list include Rough Riders? If so I'm looking for info on a James E Mcguire, 1850-1922, Troop L stationed in Chelsea. He was in a battle at El Poso in 1898. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you... Christy McGuire

At 10:49 AM 6/5/99 -0700, you wrote: Sleeping on duty was considered a very serious offense, especially if it was sentry duty or a guard post. The consequences could be severe if the enemy attacked and proper warning was not given, or some essential defense was not ready. The punishment would be much more severe than for the types of things we normally think of as "crimes" (stealing, fighting, etc). >I recently got the Civil War military record of Austin Hatch of Addison, >Steuben Co., NY, who was a brothe
17. Pension vs Service Records [1]
Lydia, This sounds like a fairly typical Service *Record*. [actually it sounds more complete than the several I've seen] Now you fill out another form 80-- and ask for the pension. Though his widow filed it, it will be under his name [probably]-- As you can see from different response, the info you find can't be determined until you actually see it--but the pensions papers have the greatest potential. I wrote on mine; "Please send entire file-- charge credit card up to $40 without further correspond
18. SCANLON, NOE, Lost Battalion WWI, Rough Riders [1]
Dear Listers, I am researching my SCANLON line and came across Edward Scanlon who was born in New York, lived in Cerrillos, NM, joined the Rough Riders, was sent to Cuba where he took sick with Typhoid Fever, was sent back to Brooklyn, and died at the age of 24. I don't know if he is part of my family, so am looking for more info. My other SCANLON family includes Thomas or Timothy, b. 1832 in Ireland, m. Katherine MEEGAN. Their daughter Johanna SCANLON is my ggrandmother, who married Charles
19. Drake Family Name [1]
I am researching the Drake Family from Genesee County, New York We know that, at least, two of the family members served in the War of 1812 and several in the Civil War, but can't find anything after that. Is anyone else searching the Drakes and if so, do you have any information that may be of help? Possible names in the Fields family: John Elias Fields b 8/28/1838 Judson Fields b 2/11/1850 Joseph Fields b 2/11/1850 John certainly was old enough to be in the Civil War. I don't know about the twins. Any
20. 7th NY Independent Battery - Civil War [1]
My 2nd gr-gr-grandfather (Charles Augustus Bailey), one of his brothers (Walter Millard Bailey), as well as their father, James, all served in the 7th NY Independent Battery during the CW. This unit was formed in Newburgh, Orange County, and Charles and Walter were in P.C. Regan's company (Company A). The two brothers were at the Battle of Seven Pines, at which event Charles had his lower jaw partially shot off and was saved by his brother, who got him medical attention. (Charles grew a long beard and la

22. CW record & pension of Friedrich [Frederick] PRIOR-7th NY Inf- Co C [1]
[first-- this is *not* a typical file, so don't be disappointed if yours has less in it] In his service record he is called Friedrich W.,Wilhelm & Frederich PRIOR. He enlisted as a 1st Sgt in the 7th NY- but only made a couple musters with the Regiment, as he was sick, awol, or assigned to recruiting duties for all the others.

23. Re: CIVIL WAR [1]
Lydia, The description you gave doesn't sound like pension papers. Are you sure you didn't ask for military papers instead of pension papers? You have to ask for them on separate forms from NARA? Did you get the papers from NARA? The pension papers for my great-grandfather do have a physical description similar to what your papers show, but the rest of what you have sounds like a military record.
