Civil War

The American Civil (1861-1865) War, widely known in the United States as simply the "Civil War" as well as other sectional names, was a civil war fought from 1861 to 1865 to determine the survival of the Union or independence for the Confederacy. There were 34 states in January 1861 when seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America.

The Confederacy, often simply called the South, grew to include eleven states, and although they claimed thirteen states and additional western territories, the Confederacy was never diplomatically recognized by a foreign country. The states that remained loyal and did not declare secession were known as the Union or the North.

The war had its origin in the fractious issue of slavery, especially the extension of slavery into the western territories. After four years of combat, which left over 600,000 Union and Confederate soldiers dead and destroyed much of the South's infrastructure, the Confederacy collapsed and slavery was abolished. Then began the Reconstruction and the processes of restoring national unity and guaranteeing civil rights to the freed slaves.

One of the lesser-known facts of the Civil War was that many Conferate states had organized groups who fought for the North. These people were more interested in preserving the union of all the United States than they were in seceeding. One of these groups was the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment. It was a cavalry regiment recruited from Southern Unionists that served in the Union Army. It was the only all-white Union regiment from Alabama. Of the 2,678 white Alabamians who enlisted in the Union Army, 2,066 served in the 1st Alabama Cavalry. Fernando (Frank) Cortez Burdick (I1171) was one of the union officers who led the regiment.

The U.S. National Park Service (NPS) has produced a database of people who were involved in the war. It includes not just the well-known names of officers and politicians, but individual soldiers, sailors and civilians. The database includes 585 soldiers with the last name Burdick.

  • (cont) He applied for a pension (#463519) on October 30, 1862, based on a disability. According to his pension papers 'he was greatly disabled and was compelled to resign his position as Captain.' His widow, Nancy Margaret Feltman Burdick, and the older children were away from home when he died. She applied for a widow's pension (#292479) on September 26, 1888 which was denied on the grounds that the soldier's death was not the result of military service. The claim was referred for special examination, and several depositions were taken and affidavits obtained.

Burdick to inquire if she was not entitled to more than $30.00 per month in pension benefits. A June 13, 1927 response from Winfield Scott indicted she would be entitled to no such increase as she was not the wife of soldier during his period of service.
  • (cont) Fernando 'Frank' Cortez Burdick was left behind in the surgeon's tent after having contracted the disabling condition. He was treated by the post surgeon in his tent for 27 (or 37) days, being unable to leave it. Between his illness and apparent paperwork confusion of mustering out of the Illinois regiment to accept a promotion into the First Alabama Cavalry, he somehow wound up being reported 'deserted' August 27, 1862, though another roll reports him left sick in Tuscumbia, Alabama on August 27, 1862. A War Department communication dated May 11, 1888 reports 'The charges of desertion of August 27, 1862, and on Regtl return for December, 1862, against this man are removed as erroneous.'
  • (cont) He received his discharge December 23, 1865 and remained in Alabama which began the Burdick family there. He was a clerk, teacher, county clerk, and probate judge of Winston County; and he assisted in re-establishing postal service in northwest Alabama. See also, petition to Brig. Gen. Wm. Smith on behalf of Fernando 'Frank' Cortez Burdick to be appointed Register of Votes, by loyal and true Union Men formerly of the 1st Alabama Cavalry.
  • (cont) Among his friends were the Feltman brothers from Walker County in Alabama. When he obtained his army discharge in 1865 he remained with his Feltman friends and married Nancy Margaret Feltman and they made their home in Winston County, Alabama. Both are buried at the Burdick Family Cemetery near Houston, Alabama which was named for his family and is maintained by the Houston Community.

It was there that Ozias met and married Lucy E. Farnum on May 19, 1858. Ozias was ob Baptist faith and Lucy was a Methodist. Ozias has been described as jovial, tall and slender, a fair complexion with hazel eyes and dark brown hair. In later years he wore a chin whisker.
  • (cont) By April, 1859 Azias and Lucy were living about 12 miles from Rochester, Minnesota at Planview. It was there their first three children were born - George, Orlin and Ida. Oziaz was engaged in carpentry work and bought an interest in a planing mill.

He was a member of the Minnesota Light Artillery as part of the Army of the Union. Ozias spent time in hospital from July, 1864 to at least February, 1865 and was discharged May 16, 1865. By the time Ozias was discharged from his military duties, his father and mother and two younger brothers and their families had relocated to Owatonna, Minnesota and were involved in the carpentry amd building trades.
  • (cont) During the war, Lucy was unable to make sufficient payments on the mill mortgage and they lost the planing mill to foreclosure. William invited Ozias to come to Owatonna and become a partner in his planing mill business. They sold their mill and home in Plainsview and arrived in Owatonna in 1865, investing $1,500 in the mill and rented a four-room house. In 1869, their daughter Carrie was born.
  • (cont) After five years of struggle they decided to sell their interest in the mill and purchased on contract a 160-acre farm four miles north of Owatonna in Clinton Falls Township.
  • (cont) One third of the farm was covered with heavy timber which provided their source of fuel. Ozias continued with his carpentry work. George and Orlin helped with the farm chores. The boys walked two miles to attend school. When Ida was eight years old she boarded in Owatonna to go to school, returning home on most weekends. She graduated from Owatonna High School with honors in June, 1882.

Ozias' mother, Cynthia, died in 1863 and is buried in the family plot at Forest Lawn.
  • (cont) By the spring of 1881 it was apparent that Ozias could never pay for the farm. He was deeper in debt than when he started. During 1881-82, Ozias, George and Orlin worked in Dakota Territory - Ozias and Orlin doing carpentry work at Jamestown and George working on the Northern Pacific Railroad. In May of 1882, the family and their belongings, stock and implements travelled by train to Jamestown, Dakota Territory.

  • Email from Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD, Identifinders International, Huntington Beach, CA, www.identifinders.com, colleen@identifinders.com: Check out: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NQ3S-MJH. Maude Masxon ran off with Daniel C. Burdick, Laura's husband. They were married in Chicago on 3 August 1895. Maude fudged the info on the marriage license - said her father was Amos Maxson (instead of Anson). But Daniel put all the correct info. That kind of hints to me where the marriage went from there. We have not figured out what happened to Maude after that.
  • (cont) In the 1900 census (24 Jun 1900), Laura is living with Delbert and his wife Lottie and is listed as married. But in October 1900, she applied for as Daniel's widow for his Civil War pension. (You can find this on Ancestry.com). On the Painted Hills website, it says that Daniel is buried in the Chestnut Hill Cemetery, but he isn't listed on the Cemetery website. I've left it at that as far as my report goes. So at least we know why Maude disappeared after 1892. Coincidentally, Daniel did too! HaHa. Now the puzzle is to look for a Maude Maxson Burdick somewhere out there in history. Wondered what happened to her after 1895, and especially after 1900.

Mustered out 1863 SEP 13 at U.S. Hospital New Orleans, LA due to death from Dysentery. This was my Great Uncle who died at the age of 19 during the Civil War. All records show that he was buried in New Orleans. There is a monument in Hillcrest Cemetery in DeRuyter, NY, but he is not buried there. He died at the US hospital at what was called The Jackson Barracks in New Orleans. It appears that those buried there were moved to Chalmette National Cemetery after Hurricaine Katrina in 2005 he is not located there. The National Archives and Records Administraion (NARA) has not been able to not come up with anything other than the DeRuyter site.
  • Carol Reppard note (2020): His military records confirm that he enlisted in the NY Company H, 114 Infantry as a Private at age 18 on 9 August 1862 in DeRuyter, NY. He was mustered in 14 August 1862. From there his service kind of disappears. He shows back up at the Battles of Port Hudson. He is then taken to the US Hospital at the Jackson Barracks suffering from 'Morbid with Dysentery about three days and died at New Orleans LA Sept 13 1863'. The form goes on to say that he is buried in New Orleans, LA. As to where in New Orleans, that is still a mystery. I know there was a cemetery at Fort Jackson that was badly flooded during Katrina and the bodies were moved to Chalmett National Cemetery but their records do not show him there. There are quite a few Unknowns burdied there from the Jackson Barracks and it is possible he is amoung those. Maybe someday they will find him., but at least I now know he is in New Orleans.

For more than two years, his health has been gradually declining, but his departure was greatly hastened by dropsy and heart trouble, supplementing his long standing disease. The funeral services were held the following Fourth-day, at both his residence and in the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Milton, conducted by Rev. L. A. Platts, Rev. Geo. W. Burdick, and Pres. W. C. Whitford. The burial occurred at the Milton Cemetery, in which the deceased had procured a lot, and erected thereon a substantial granite monument.
  • (cont) Mr. Coon was born Dec. 17, 1818, on the east side of Beaver Creek, in the southern part of Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y. Here, the eighth of eleven children, all of whom reached their majority, and four of whom are still living, he was reared on a farm, with delightful surroundings. In this vicinity he lived until nearly twenty-eight years old, acquiring the means for the purchase of land and the erection of a home for himself in the inviting West. He gained the respect and confidence of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, and united at conversion with the Third Brookfield Seventh-day Baptist church (now the West Edmeston) whose house of worship was then located very near his birthplace. His parents were Samuel Hubbard and Olive Brown Coon. The former, usually called Esquire Coon, was the son of Joshua and Margaret Burdick Coon, both lineal descendants of the earliest settlers in Rhode Island.
  • (cont) He married, July 7, 1846, Miss Harmina C. Burdick, a daughter of Capt. Benjamin and Ann Cheesbrough Burdick, residing in the near vicinity of his father. This captain was born in Brookfield, the son of Elisha Burdick, and his wife, in Stonington, Conn. The newly married couple started within two weeks after the ceremony for Wisconsin, where, in the previous summer, Mr. Coon had selected and purchased four hundred acres of very fertile land on the beautiful Koshkonong Prairie, at a place where the hamlet of Utica, Dane county, is located. On Sabbath afternoon of the day previous to his death he attended the communion service of the church at Utica. It remains to say that in less than a day afterwards he slowly and painlessly breathed his last in the midst of his sorrowing family.

Stennett Clarke Stillman (I1001229) (23 JUL 1835 - 1914)
  • res. Scott, N. Y.
  • He served in the Civil War
  • The Sabbath Vol 78, No 8, p 255, Feb. 22, 1915: Stennett C. Stillman was born in Homer, N. Y., July 23, 1835, and died in St. Luke's Hospital, Utica, N. Y., January 22, 1915, aged 79 years, 6 months, and 29 days. In early life, while attending the DeRuyter Institute, he made a profession and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church of that place. In May of 1860, he was married to Theresa Clarke, and to them were born three children. The oldest, a daughter, died in California in her early womanhood; while two sons, Alfred, of Alfred, N. Y., and Paul, of Brooklyn, survive him. Mrs. Stillman passed away in 1902 and he was married again, in 1904, to Mrs. Elizabeth Maxson, who with his two sons, their wives, and his only living brother, Stewart Stillman, of Rochester, N. Y., were with him, to comfort and sustain him in the last trying hours.
  • (cont) Brother Stillman, while serving his country, did not forget his service to his God, as may be seen from his diary kept during his service. Let us note two records: 'Sabbath, May 29, 1865. - strolled out through field and wood to empty fort, to commune with God, in its hidden recesses . . . June 10, 1865, - Take my letter to mail for wife. Go to woods to read and pray. Find comfort in casting my care on God.'
  • (cont) Brother Stillman, in a letter to his wife, dated June 7, 1865, tells of being urged to take a position in the U. S. Treasury, which he would not accept because it would require work on the Sabbath, choosing $16 and field service, with obedience to conscience and God, rather than $100 and disobedience; and for the same reason he refused office at the hands of a license party, choosing to suffer (shame and contempt) with the people of God, rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Would that the mantle of Brother Stillman's conscientious rectitude might fall on many Seventh Day Baptists and especially the young. Truly we can say, a good man has fallen, and many mourn the loss.

The deceased made a public profession of religion when he was sixteen years of age, and became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Lincklaen. He continued a faithful member of the church, and an humble and devoted disciple of Jesus Christ, until he was removed from his sphere of labor and usefulness on earth, to the rest and reward of the kingdom of heaven. Our young brother endeared himself to his family and friends, and the church of Christ, by his Christian candor, frankness, humility, warm and unchanging attachment to his friends, associates, and the cause of the Redeemer. His place was always filled in the sanctuary, and duty discharged in the Bible-class and prayer-meeting.
  • (cont) Often, during the war, he felt the promptings of patriotism, calling him to volunteer in the service of his country. Being of a slender constitution, he was held back for a while, until in the time of his country's utmost need, and urgent call for men, he could be restrained no longer; and in company with a little band of noble spirits whose religious sentiments and sympathies were like his, he enlisted, and immediately left home for the scene of his future toils, and subsequent illness and death. Early in the winter he was attacked with the measles, which terminated in consumption. Thus early closed the young soldier's career on earth, that he might receive the victor's crown in heaven. His foster brother, Mr. H. C. Coon, was with him the last few days he lived; and by his careful management the remains were conveyed home for interment, in the family burial ground, where they quietly repose beneath the over-shadowing evergreen, in the hope of a glorious resurrection.'

  • He served in the Civil War. Union Army, Illinois Infantry, Unit 86, Company C, Private
  • Biography (excerpts): Anson P. Stillman was born on December 24, 1838 in De Ruyter, New York, the son of Robert Stillman and Philura (Main) Stillman. Anson was married to Susan Adeline 'Adelia' Maxson on March 1, 1862 in Peoria County, Illinois. Susan was born on May 26, 1842 in Petersburg, Rensselaer Co., New York. Susan had a younger brother, Matthew R. Maxson, who served with Anson during the war in the 86th Illinois. Four children are known to have been born to Anson and Adelia. They are: Elmer Stillman, born c. 1862/63, Frank Stillman, born c. 1866. Eldora Stillman, born c. 1867/68, Walter Stillman.
  • (cont) On August 8, 1862, Anson P. Stillman went into Chillicothe, Illinois in Peoria County and volunteered to serve in a company which was being raised in Chillicothe, Illinois, and in the townships immediately north and west of Chillicothe, including Halleck Township in Peoria County and LaPrairie and Saratoga Townships in Marshall County. This company was being raised for service in the Union army by John H. Batchelder, who operated the Ferry at Chillicothe, and Dr. Joseph Thomas, a Chillicothe area Physician. When he volunteered, Anson gave his residence as Akron Township in Peoria County.
  • (cont) Another member of Co. C, Ansel Crouch, who had just got out of the hospital and who was in a Convalesent Camp, one step between being with the company or in the hospital, kept a diary during the war. On April 14, 1863, Ansel mentions that another Co. C boy, 'Anson Stillman was down a while at night' and that on the 18th 'One of Co. K's men died very sudden. Apparently there was a way to wire money home during those days. On April 19, 1863, Ansel wrote 'the Captain came in at night. Edd (Silliman) sent me the money owed me'. The following day, Ansel wrote, 'sent 50 dollars home by the Captain. James Sirlott (another Co. C boy) came in and several others. Anson Stillman came came down a little while at night.; On the 21st Ansel wrote, 'Paid the Captain for sending home the money, what he had to pay.' On April 23, 1863, Ansel wrote, 'the rest that were fit for duty were ordered front. I went to see Anson a while. he had the ague. 2 of the B boys deserted.'
  • (cont) So from this we see that Anson Stillman, like most of boys, was having some difficulty with his health during their winter and spring of 1862/63 in the field. Another of Anson's good friends was Harvey S. Brown. Harvey had great difficulty with his health during his year or so with Co. C and eventually was transferred to the VRC for further service, never rejoining the 86th. Harvey kept a diary during his time with Co. C and mentions Ansel Crouch and Anson P. Stillman frequently.

Y., December 24, 1838, and died at his home in Nortonville, Kan., March 6, 1919, at the age of 80 years, 2 months and 12 days. When he was seventeen years of age he moved with his parents to West Hallock, Ill., where he resided until 1881, when he came to Nortonville and settled on a farm. On March 1, 1862 he was married to Adelia Maxson, to which union were born four children, Elmer, of South Dakota; Walter of North Loup, Neb., and Frank and Mrs. Dora Hurley, of Nortonville, who with their mother survive him.
  • (cont) n August of 1862, or about five months after his marriage, he enlisted in the 86th Illinois, and served until the close of the war without a leave of absence or furlough. He was a member of the local G. A. R. and for the last few years acted as flag bearer and was always proud of the flag under which he had fought for more than three years.

Funeral services were conducted at the home with the members of the G. A. R. in attendance. He was laid to rest in the Nortonville Cemetery. H. L. P.

The memorial was entered originally by someone who was working on Civil War veterans and Amos Fish was in the 1929 Roll of Honor as having been buried here. There is no record of that and he is not on the Roll of Honor at all any more, for some reason. As he died of typhoid, it is highly unlikely that they returned the 'infected' remains back to Illinois from where he died at the Army hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. It is most likely he was buried near there. I have been unable to find any record of it; however, I'm sure he is not in LBP. Burial Details unknown.

In addition, he tells his mother that he is sending $10-15 via a Lt. (?Justin N.) Parker on his way to Covington, KY perhaps returning to Illinois on re-assignment.

  • The Sabbath Recorder, Vol 53, No 19, p 301, May 10, 1897: Deacon Edgar W. Irish died at Hammond, La., the 26th day of April, 1897. He was born in the town of Genesee, Allegany County, N. Y., March 25, 1838, hence was 59 years of age at the time of his death. Converted in his boyhood, he joined the Third Seventh-day Baptist church of Genesee, and during all the years that have intervened his life has been that of a rare, patient and faithful Christian, and a comfort and a blessing to everyone with whom he was associated. In 1861 he entered the army, serving first a three months' enlistment in the First Rhode Island Regiment, and after this enlisting in the 85th New York, with which organization he remained until the close of the war, except the time when he was in Andersonville as a prisoner of war.
  • (cont) This period of confinement was exactly a year and one day, and the sufferings he then endured so undermined his constitution that he was never a strong man afterward, yet he bore his infirmities so uncomplainingly that only a few ever realized how much he had sacrificed in the service of his country. His surviving comrades have always referred to him as a model soldier, a Christian gentleman and a friend upon whom they might lean in any emergency. In January, 1866, he was married to Charlotte Maxson, of Westerly, R. I., and together they lived at Farina, Ill., until her death in August, 1877. Two years later he married Helen Coon, of Farina, who survives him.
  • (cont) In 1886 he sought to improve his health by removing to a warmer climate, so he chose Hammond, La., as a home, and here he has since lived, a pillar of the church, a loved and trusted citizen, a man relied upon for integrity and good judgment in the affairs of his town. He was a brave and cheerful sufferer, who went calmly down into the valley and the shadow of death, believing and trusting in the goodness, wisdom and mercy of the Heavenly Father, to whom a life of faithful service had been devoted. Three children survive him - Ernest and Harold Irish, of Hammond, La., and Bertha, the wife of J. A. Potter, of West Hallock, Ill. Deacon Irish was the oldest son of George Irish and his wife Maria Potter, both of whom were born in New England and died in Genesee, N. Y. A large family of brothers and sisters have been bereft of the faithful and loving one, who aided in the care of all the younger ones; his children have lost an affectionate father and his wife a devoted husband.
  • (cont) The Seventh-day Baptist church of Hammond will long grieve for the departure of its senior deacon; but each and all find comfort in the memory of the life and Christian character of this man, who sank calmly to his rest in the hope of blessed immortality. G. W. L.

  • Find A Grave note: According to the Iowa Roster, he died of wounds, but the U.S. Registers of Deaths of Volunteers indicates that he died of chronic diarrhea at Webster General Hospital on August 10, 1863. Since he died several months after he was wounded, he likely contracted the chronic diarrhea while being treated for his wounds. I did not find him on FAG at Memphis National. You have his DOD of 10 Aug 1863 which is more likely than 10 Apr since it says he was wounded on 16 May 1863 which is the correct date for the battle of Champion's Hill. It is possible that his body was brought back to Iowa, but doesn't seem likely since he died in August, but he could have been re-interred later also.

Mr. Randolph was lying on the bed on his left side, turned partly on his face and clutching the sheet with one hand. He was attired in his night clothes. There was no evidence of any struggle and his position was that of a man who had just turned over in bed. The room was apparently in the order that he usually kept it and there were no evidences of foul play.

Julius Fitz Randolph (I1090742) (27 MAY 1835 - 28 AUG 1862)
  • He served in the Civil War. He was Captain of Company H, Second Wisconsin Infantry, and was killed at the Battle of Gainesville, Va., August 28, 1862.
  • Military History of Wisconsin, Quinter, 1866: Gainesville (Brawner's Farm) - August 28, 1862 This was one of the bloodiest battles of the war , and was fought by the Iron Brigade alone, only receiving aid after the heaviest of the fighting was over. The battle day of the 28th of August, is a bloody one in the calendar of many a Wisconsin homestead. While marching toward Centerville, a battery of the enemy opened on the brigade, when the Second Regiment was ordered to face the left, and march obliquely to the rear, and take the battery in flank. The left wing was advanced to bring the regiment facing the enemy, when the fire was returned, and for fifteen minutes, a tremendous storm of shot was kept up by the contending forces, a brigade of rebels being engaged by the Second Wisconsin. The Second held its ground during this time, when the Nineteenth Indiana came up on its left.
  • (cont) The enemy were reinforced, and the Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin went into line, and the whole brigade continued its fight, till darkness put an end to the contest. General Gibbon in vain sent for aid, only two regiments making their appearance near the end of the action. At least four of General Jackson's best brigades composed the rebel force, among them the famous 'Stonewall Brigade,' which claimed that it never before was compelled to fall back. The fearful list of casualties proved the desperate nature of the contest. Colonel O'Connor sat on his horse amid the shower of bullets, encouraging his men, when he was wounded. He kept on his horse until again wounded, in the groin, when he was carried from the field, and died. Major Allen, of the Second, was twice wounded, but did not leave the field. Captain Randolph, of Company H, was killed instantly. Colonel Cutler, of the Sixth, was severely wounded in the thigh.
  • (cont) Colonel Robinson, of the Seventh, was wounded in the leg, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton through both thighs, and Major Bill was wounded in the head, thus depriving the Seventh Regiment of its field officers, leaving Captain Callis in command. Captain Brayton, of Company B, was killed. The brigade remained on the field, removing the wounded, till about midnight, when they were ordered to retreat to Manassas Junction. Wisconsin may well be proud of the heroes of Gainesville. All the regiments performed their duty admirably, and fought without flinching, and every man was a hero.

Sadly, his biological mother died when he was a baby and was raised by his father and stepmother Vienna (Sutton) Maxson in Pike Township, Clark County, Ohio near North Hampton. He did serve in the Civil War in the Ohio 66th Volunteer Infantry Regiment which trained in Urbana, Ohio. Although he has no mustered out date so further research needs to be done on that. He married Mary Catherine Kohler on September 28, 1869 in Shelby County, Ohio according to Shelby County marriage records.

He was also listed as an heir and son in his father Sutton Maxson's probate court records from 1890 according to the Clark County, Ohio Probate Court records in Springfield, Ohio.
  • (cont) Currently, there is definite evidence of what church he was either a member or attended as an adult. What is known is that he was raised in the Seven Day Baptist Church in North Hampton, Ohio. As an adult it is suspected he most likely attended the German Reformed Church in St. Paris, Ohio that was on Lynn St. Unfortunately, that church disbanded in 1940 and the records for that specific parish have not been located. What is known is that five of his daughters and his eldest son John are mentioned in articles from the St. Paris newspapers between 1897 to 1908 as being involved with the German Reformed Church and his son Frank was a member of the German Reformed Church according to Frank's obituary. He died after a long illness of tuberculosis according to his death certificate.

  • He served in the Civil War, 11th Kansas Infantry
  • The Emporia Gazette, May 30 1923, Wednesday: Enoch D. Childers, who lived on a farm north of town, had begged to join the arm(y) ever since the war 'broke out.' He was 15 in 1864 - old a-plenty to be a soldier and his two older brothers had enlisted long before, and he guessed he was just as patriotic as they were. So tht year he enlisted in the 11th Kansas Militia. The Militia was called to the eastern border of Kansas and followed Price and his army from Paola to Fort Scott. Mr. Childers's company saw the battle of Mine Creek, but had no part in it. Also, these men saw the spectacle of Price's army of 30,000 men all at one time spread out on the open prairie. That was a great sight, he said. The 11th Kansas Militia was under fire at Cabin Creek, where 200 teams and wagons carrying supplies to the Indians at Fort Gibson, I.T., were seized by the Confederates. Mr. Childers's two brothers were in the army from '62 to '65, and none of the three received so much as a scratch.
  • The Emporia Gazette, April 23, 1928, Monday: Enoch Childers, 81, died Sunday evening at his home, 1531 North Merchant street.

Ramsburg, a former pastor of the family at Bethel, conducted the services. The three singers, T. D. Little, Mrs. Anna Lee and Miss Emma Sutton, also were friends from Bethel. Pallbearers were T. D. Little, John Childers, G. L. Miller, Carl Ziegler, W. J. Reynolds and Charles Kibley. Burial was made in Maplewood cemetery. Enoch Childers came to Kansas at the outbreak of the Civil war and went through many of the hardships of the early times. He was too young to enlist in the army without the consent of his mother, and this she refused to give because two sons who were under age already had given their lives in the war.

  • The Emporia Weekly News, September 7, 1916: The following, of interest to Gazette readers, appeared in Notes of the Encampment, in Friday morning's Kansas City Times: A battered lump of lead that was once a confederate rifle ball is the cherished pocket piece of T. B. Davis, Emporia, Kan., Company A, Tenth Kansas Infantry. It was removed from Mr. Davis's thigh after the Battle of Prairie Grove, Ark., December 7, 1862.'
  • The Emporia Gazette, May 30, 1923, Wednesday: Thomas B. Davis enlisted in Company B, 10th Kansas Volunteer Infantry, in Johnson County, Kansas, July 16, '61, and was mustered in at Fort Lincoln August 20. Mr. Davis's first taste of battle was at Newtonia, Mo., where two advances were made. The first time the Union soldiers were driven back by the Confederates, the next time the Confederates left that neighborhood on the run. The Union men followed them to Fort Wayne and Cane Hill. Mr. Davis was wounded in the battle of Prairie Grove, December 7, '62. He had a varied hospital experience, and it was June before he got back to his regiment. When he was carried off the field he was taken to a double log house which was used as an emergency hospital, and there he lay on the bare floor from Sunday until Tuesday.
  • (cont) Doctors Root and Robinson were the physicians who finally attended him, and they calmly cut a slit in the fleshy part of Mr. Davis's thigh and kept going till they reached the bullet, one of them picked it out with his thumb and finger, held it up before Mr. Davis and said, 'Here, take this home to your mother.' That bullet still is in Mr. Davis's possession. From the log house Mr. Davis was taken to a hospital at Fayetteville, Ark., from that place transferred to Fort Scott, and later to Fort Leavenworth. He guarded prisoners at Alton, Ill., for three months during his convalescence. After the election in 1864 and his expiration of his term of enlistment Mr. Davis reenlisted, and was wounded in the battle of Nashville. A shell struck a cedar rail and sent the rail whizzing against his shoulder and face. This kept him in camp two weeks, during which time he was detailed to ambulance corps duty.
  • (cont) Mr. Davis then was sent to New Orleans, was in on the capture of Fort Blakely, and helped to guard Mobile until the day of Lee's surrender. Then the men marched four days to Montgomery, Ala., and heard of the surrender two days after it took place.
  • The Emporia Gazette,June 2, 1924, Monday: Members of Plumb Post, G.A.R., are expected to meet at 928 Exchange tomorrow at 1 o'clock to attend the funeral services for Comrade T. B. Davis.

  • Emporia Gazette, Wednesday, June 4, 1924; Page 2, Column 3 Funeral services for T.B. Davis, who died Sunday afternoon in the Newman Memorial County hospital, were held Tuesday afternoon at the Davis home, 928 Exchange. The services were conducted by Rev. J. Calvin Jones, and G.A.R. services were in charge of members of Plumb post. The Bethel quartet, composed of Mrs. Evangel Nicklin, Miss Emma Sutton, Ned Watson and Albert Brown, sang at the services, with accompaniment by Mrs. Ned Watson. The pallbearers were sons of Mr. Davis - W.E., Gordon M., A.E., Charles A., T. Bernard and F.F. Davis. Interment was in Maplewood cemetery.
  • (cont) Thomas B. Davis was born November 20, 1884 (sic) [1843], near Salem, West Virginia. In 1857 he came with his parents to Kansas, and the family settled at Gardner, in Johnson county, 30 miles from Kansas City on the old Santa Fe trail. He enlisted for service in the Civil war when only 17 years old, and served four years. After the war Mr. Davis moved with his parents from Johnson to Lyon county, and they settled on Dow creek, in the Rosean neighborhood. Mr. Davis was married February 8, 1870, to Miss Katherine Saffer, who moved from Illinois in 1865 and settled in the Rosean district. In 1874 Mr. and Mrs. Davis bought from the government a tract of Indian land in the Frost district on Allen creek, where they lived 46 years. In May, 1909, they sold the farm and moved to Emporia, which since has been the family home.
  • (cont) Mr. Davis enlisted July 16, 1861. His first battle was at Newtonia, Mo., where two advances were made. He was severely wounded in the battle of Prairie Grove, December 7, 1862. When carried off the field, he was taken to a double log house used as an emergency hospital, and lay on the bare dirt floor two days. From the log house he was taken to a hospital at Fayetteville, Ark. He guarded prisoners three months at Alton, Ill., during his convalescence, and it was June before he got back to his regiment. In the fall of 1864, at the expiration of his term of enlistment, Mr. Davis re-enlisted, and was wounded a second time in the battle of Nashville. His injury kept him in camp two weeks, during which time he was detailed to ambulance corps duty. Later he was sent to New Orleans, had a part in the capture of Fort Blakely, and helped to guard Mobile until the day of Lee’s surrender. He was mustered out in August, 1865, at Montgomery, Ala.
  • (cont) Mr. and Mrs. Davis celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary four years ago, at which time all their children except three were home. Another family reunion was held five weeks ago. Mr. Davis was a member of Plumb post, Grand Army of the Republic, and of the Methodist Episcopal church. (Note: Obit said he served with Company B but the tombstone has Company A so he may have enlisted in B but was transferred to A after one of his wounds.)


John Davis Kennedy (I1091161) (1846 - 23 JAN 1863)
  • He served in the Civil War, Union Army
  • Find A Grave note: He fell ill while serving in the Union Army in the US Civil War. He died at Young's Point, Louisiana. Young's Point was located on the west side of the Mississippi River near Vicksburg, Mississippi. Union troops were camped there during late 1862 and through 1863. A skirmish occurred there in June 1863. He was originally buried along the Mississippi River near the Young's Point (Union) Army camp where he died. It is said that all the soldiers that died of disease and buried there were moved to Vicksburg National Cemetery. It is unlikely that any Union cemetery survives. The graves would have been moved to the Vicksburg National Cemetery.
  • (cont) nformation regarding Vicksburg National Cemetery: Established in 1866 by an act of Congress, Vicksburg National Cemetery has the largest number of Civil War interments of any national cemetery in the country. More than 17,000 troops are buried in Vicksburg National Cemetery, the largest Union cemetery in the nation. Of these burials, the identity of almost 13,000 soldiers and sailors are unknown. The cemetery also protects the final resting place of a significant number of United States Colored Troops that served with distinction in the Civil War. In addition to the Civil War soldiers, veterans of the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean conflict are buried here. The cemetery has been closed to new reservations since 1963. So, his remains were probably removed to Vicksburg National Cemetery, and are part of the 13,000 remains moved there unidentified.

Nathan Burdick (I10111004) (9 SEP 1827 - 1912)
  • Homer Burdick note: Nathan was my g-grandfather, and I have my family tree traced back to him, but I have been unsuccessful in finding records of his father, Nathaniel. Nathaniel must have died somewhere between 1840 and 1850, as his daughter, Susan, was 10 years old in 1850, but Nathaniel was not listed in the 1850 census.
  • Homer Burdick note: My family history starts with Nathan Burdick, my g-grandfather, dating back to a census of 1850. I sent an outline of my work to distant cousins, who are also descendants of Nathan (their grandparents were siblings of my grandfather, who was the eldest son of Nathan) We became e mail friends and discovered we were searching for the same ancestor. My cousins, as well as I, were told by our parents that our gg-grandfather was married to an Indian princess (my Dad may have embellished the story), which would make me 1/16th Native American. If I could confirm that, in New York State, I would not be charged sales tax. and hence the beginning my search.
  • (cont) Another cousin mentioned our gg-grandfather's name was Nathaniel, and , according to the mentioned 1850 census, his wife could have been named Philena. Still another cousin had the story that Nathaniel's wife died in childbirth on the ship coming to America, that he took an Indian maiden as his second wife, and that Nathaniel was Scottish-Irish. I estimate that Nathaniel would have been born circa 1800, that he would have been married circa 1820-1825, as his son, Nathan was born 1827. He listed as 26 years old in 1850, and Philena (his mother) is listed as 46 years old, but there is no reference to Nathaniel.
  • 1850 census records list a Nathan Burdick, age 26, Joshua, age 22, Susan, age 10, and Philena, age 47 in Frewsburg, NY.
  • Homer Burdick email, 9/29/2018: Nathan Burdick and James Baskin fought in the Civil War at Gettysburg. Nathan had a son Robert, and James had a daughter Gertrude. Robert married Gertrude, and they had a son, Robert Jr. (I10111009), my father. Both of these Civil War Veterans, Nathan and James, are my great grandfathers. Both were in the 83rd Pennsylvania Infantry, and were in the skirmish at Little Roundtop. James was killed in a later battle. Nathan was wounded but returned to duty. He drew an army pension and died 1912 in Forest County, PA.

Sanford Langworthy (I11371260) (15 SEP 1830 - 4 MAY 1896)
  • Hal Langworthy note: The dates for Sanford's birth and death are are taken from his gravestone, which says he was born Sept 15, 1830, and died May 4, 1896. In her application for a widow's pension, Sanford's wife Elizabeth gives the same date of death, so she was probably the source for both records.
  • (cont) Other sources, like censuses and pension applications, give birth dates a year or two earlier or later.
  • (cont) There is one source, though, that has significantly different dates: The 1896 death register for Newaygo County says he died April 30, 1896, aged 76 years, 3 months and 5 days, which works out to Jan 26, 1820, and it says that his parents were John and Jane Langworthy. No such couple is known that could possibly have been his parents. This register is a compilation done in each county of the deaths which had occurred in the previous year. My guess is that in this case, some creativity was used to fill in the blanks....
  • (cont) There is no proof that Sanford was the son of Ira (ca1799), but there is a male of the right age in Ira's household in the 1840 census, and the 1850 census shows that one of Ira's sons (Job) was living in Sanford's household. Also, it's reasonable that Ira would name a son after his father, Sanford, and that Sanford would in turn name his first son after his father Ira.
  • (cont) Sanford, though a resident of West Monroe, Oswego Co., NY, enlisted in the Civil War at Cavendish, Vermont. He served in the Second US Sharpshooters, but was wounded in the hand at Spotsylvania, resulting in a permanent disability. He then served in the 4th Vermont Regiment until July 1865.
