Pete,
ReplyDeleteI doubt that any of the list served, since Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865.
John Allen
I am a direct descendant of several of those named. e.g. Elisha (Elihu) M. Sears, and Micajah Mathis, for starters. I'm also tied in to the Leeks, and Cramers. As to whether any served because of the date this was published, I think it depends what the published list actually was. Was it a "current" callup? Or a "retroactive" list of those called up? Is there a way to tell from the article? Even if retroactive, I understand it was a common practice to pay someone to serve for you, if you had the means to do that. This is one thread that I have on my eventual to do list. That is, finding out if any of my ancestors served in the Civil War.
ReplyDeleteThe so-called "tall" Allens were sailors. David Allen had 6 sons, most in the right age bracket to have served in the civil war.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah,28 in 1860
William, 22
Theodore, 20 (noted in Pete's Tall Allen genealogy as trading in both New York and Southern ports)
Edward, 17
Samuel, 13
David W., 10
all except the Davids potentially were involved.
question for Pete: What was the source of the Theodore quote?
John Allen
My Grandmother's father was named Edward Page Adams and he would be about the right age but he lived in Atlantic county, so, I don't know if this is the same person.
