Mohons at Camp Douglas, Chicago, during the Civil War

mhamilton456 — 2009-08-12 18:47:42Z

I have found two Mohon cousins who were imprisoned at Camp Douglas, Chicago, Illinois, during the Civil War. Both were Confederate soldiers: Thomas Nathan Mohon (my great-great grandmother's brother, a son of Alexander Thomas Mohon) and John Columbus Mohon (their cousin, a son of James Mohon).

There are two books about Camp Douglas, neither of which mentions the Mohons. But the background information on the camp and conditions is both fascinating and troubling. (Some writers compare Camp Douglas to Andersonville.) It's a wonder that anyone survived, and both of these men did--even after many months there. I wonder if they were able to be together at the camp and also if they walked/traveled home together in June of 1865. If anyone has any further information on their time at the camp or their trips home, I would love to hear about it.

First book: Pucci, Kelly. Camp Douglas; Chicago's Civil War Prison. (Images of America Series). Charleston, S. C.: Arcadia Publishing, 2007. ISBN 13 978-0-7385-5175-3; ISBN 10 0-7385-5175-9. This has lots of pictures with comments.

Second book: Levy, George. To Die in Chicago; Confederate Prisoners at Camp Douglas 1862-65. Gretna, Louisiana: Pelican Publishing, 1999. ISBN 1-56554-331-9. I'm still reading this. It's a more thorough and scholarly approach.

I have researched the Alexander Mohon line since the 1960s and I have never been able to document George Washington as a child of Alex and Matilda. I am no expert on the subject, however. My husband descends from William W. and Nancy Susan Parris through Robt. E. Lee Mohon and Emma Wilson.
I have also tried to find documentation to establish Wiley Mohon b. 1777 as Alexander's father. Some of the Stephenville, Texas Mohons seem certain that this is true but I just have never been able to prove it. I would love to hear from anyone who can shed any light on these puzzles.

mhamilton456 — 2009-04-22 03:25:12Z

Here's what I have on the descendants of Alexander Mohon and Matilda Defer:

William W. Mohon 1833-bef 1900
+Nancy Susan Parris 1833-
Sarah A. Elizabeth Mohon 1835-1915
+John Pendleton Moon abt 1799-bef 1880
I am descended from Sarah through her daughter Ida E. and have numerous documents and family Bible information.
Mary Ann Mohon 1837-
Nancy J. Mohon abt 1838-
+Thomas York abt 1836
Another cousin and Ancestry.com member is descended from Nancy and has a public tree.
James M. Mohon 1839-
Louisa M. Mohon 1840-bef 1870
+Alexander T. Currier abt 1840-1865
A. T. Currier died in a Union POW camp, and their two boys lived with Alexander and Matilda in 1870 and 1880.
Thomas Nathan Mohon 1843-1927
+Nancy Jane Brock 1847-1920
Willis Dee Mohon 1844-1933 (twin)
+Lena Linzy 1864-1938
+Docia E. 1858-
Wilbur Bascom 1844-1890 (twin)
+Sina Ann Wood 1855-1928
Rebecca A. 1846-
Racheal A. 1848-
Cynthia A. 1853-
+James H. Stringfellow
Mattie J. 1855-
P. A. 1857-
Name variations: Parker Aaron or Park Alexander

According to my fourth cousin, George Washington Mohon was born in 1852, and his grandson is still living in Arkansas. He was married three times: Peggy James, Martha Cash, and Mattie Leverett. Since he doesn't show up in any of the census documents, I'm going to keep looking for documentation.

Are you in touch with any of the Stephenville and De Leon, Texas, Mohons?

mhamilton456 — 2009-04-21 11:27:57Z

I am descended from Alexander Mohon through his daughter Sarah A. Elizabeth, who married John P. Moon. I have a good amount of documented information for her family and for many of her siblings and their families.

Do you have a George Washington Mohon listed as one of Alexander's children? I can't find him in any of the census documents, but a fourth cousin says he was definitely one of the sibs.

I'm just seeing the threads about the Mohon newsletter. If it's not too late, I would like to see how I could go about getting on the mailing list. Are you able to add me to the list, or do I need to send more information?

I'm related to the Mohons through Margaret Ellen Mohon who was my Great Great Grandmother. She was married to Richard W Davis. Margaret was the daughter of John Columbus Mohon, who was the son of James A Mohon, son of Wiley A Buchannan Mohon. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the information. The only clues I had were a census record listing William Cicero and his parents being born in GA. Also in an old trunk where we got information we had there was a picture postcard of a man with a long dark beard and a woman. The inscription says Bess or Bliss and Dutch. The man has a peg leg. Is this the same Dutch? If so would you like a copy of this picture I can scan it in and send it. My email address is jdcase@bellsouth.net. Just email me and let me know.

I am searching for any information regarding my Great Great Grandfather William Cicero Mohon b. 5-30-1854. From various letters, and other information recently discovered, I have learned that William Cicero had a sister named Molly who married a Rhoades and then moved to Oregon. He also had a brother who was nicknamed Dutch.
William Cicero married Mary Sabrina Wells b. 10-15-1858. They married 3-27-1877. Their children were William Wiley b. 12-5-1877, Johnny Nepoleon b. 9-18-1880, IB 9-4-1882, George C. b. 8-27-1884 nicknamed Poe (he drowned in the Red River at age 21, Effie Samantha b. 3-5-1888 (she married a Thomas), Alice Maude b. 6-12-1890 (my great grandmother), WT b. 4-12-1903. There was another daughter named Josie no more information available other than she married a Bondorant (not sure on spelling).
In 1897 the family packed up a wagon and left from Centre, Alabama arriving 27 days later outside of Laurel, Mississippi during Christmas week. They then worked their way down to the area known as Tilton in Lawrence County Mississippi.

Re: Alexander Mohon

CarolDavis1949 — 2007-11-14 03:02:48Z

I have Alexander's father as Wiley Mohon b 1777 from Virginia, but I can't find any information about his wife or parents. So, I might be wrong.

I have Alexander's brothers as:

James A Mohon born 1809 in North Carolina and died 20 Apr 1887 in Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama. (I'm decended from this brother).

Nathaniel Mohon born 1805 in Virginia and died 12 Sep 1877 in Dentville, Mississippi.

William Mohon born 1813.

That is as far as I've gotten. Of course, I've not verified any of that info yet.

I re-read my post too late. My niece was 10 feet from the bomber, not 19 feet. If you type "Amanda Mohon" in your web browser, the story will pop up. She was in Mosul, Iraq last January. Some guy took a picture of her two weeks after she was burned and posted it on a site on the Internet. I found it by chance, and copied it so Amanda could have it for her scrapbook. Abby also made the news. Type in "Abby Mohon" and the story of her drowning will pop up. Our family has had some real loss in the last few years. My father died in 2002, but when you lose a young teen, it's totally different and harder to accept. Anyway, I hope these two messages get to your address. Anne

I am sorry that I just found this message from you. Didn't check the date, but I haven't been online for a long time. There was a Wylie Mohon related, but they went to Texas. There's a lady that I have corresponded with, and she did the whole tree on your side. I think her address is Kayke@aol.com. It's been along time since I have recieved an email from her. She had a Willis D. too. That sounds like who you want to talk to. Maybe I wrote you this a long time ago. Just can't remember. We had a death in our family in july. My brother, John Wade Mohon, lost his daughter, Abby Elizabeth Mohon, age 14. Abby was tubing on the river here, and got her foot stuck in a submerged tree. Her friends tried to save her, but she drowned. John's other daughter, Amanda, was burned when a suicide bomber in Iraq, detonated a bomb in a mess tent. Amanda was 19 feet away, and was lucky she wasn't killed. I sell on Ebay and buy, and use the name blondiemo. Ebay gives you an option to list info about yourself . To access that info, you have to search for seller "blondiemo", then when my name pops up, there will be a red icon next to my name, after the number of feedbacks I've received. It says "About Me" or "Me". If you click on that, you see my info, and a link to my niece, Amanda's site, where she posted lots of photos of Abby and herself. Click on the photo of Amanda too, and you'll see lots of photos of her, and Abby too. This branch of Mohons are big people! Both of my brothers are over 6', and Abby was 5'10" at age 14. We sure miss her.

Hello again Ann, I stayed up all night trying to figure this out, and I finally got my greatgrandfathers parents names. Jessie's father was Whyle Mohon (at least I think thats how the first name is spelled) and mother was Mary Mohon. Then I am led to believe that Whyle's father was a William Mohon ( born abt.1852, and as best I can tell, Williams wifes name was also Mary. The info I have as far as these people are found in the Lawrence County, MS. 1910-1930 Census'. That is all I have been able to locate to this point. If this is or could be your family, that would be awsome.

Hi,
No, I have never heard that name mentioned. Some of the family names are Anderson, Bradley, Bridges and (HUNT, through marriage)
If you type
Mohon Strong Mississippi
into your browser (I use Google), you will see a James Hood Manuscript. This is the family I am from. James Hood's widow (nancy Bradley) married Nathaniel Mohon, my ggg-grandfather. Hope this helps. Martin is my married name, and Mohon is my maiden name

Hi Penny,
I received a message from someone else today concerning the Bridges/Mohon side of the family. To refresh my memory, I reread the Mohon messages. Have you ever been able to substantiate what you were told, about Nathan running away and changing his name from Mahon to Mohon? Also, do you still publish the newsletter? If so, please add me to the subscription list. My lineage is through Nathaniel, AJ, Bit Wade, Walter Wade Sr., then Walter Wade Mohon Jr (my father). My father "Walt" passed away February 8, 2002.

From the Alla Clary Scrapbook. I don't know which newspaper this is from, however is dated October 21, 1926. If I had to take a guess, I would say it might be from The Examiner, McKinney, Texas

Talkington, took place at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, October 16th, at the home of the bride's parents. There ceremony was performed by Rev. R. B.

His honest, upright dealings in business affairs, and his consideration of his fellowman has won him the respect and seteem of all who know him. He owns a beautiful farm home and stock ranch just west of Prosper.
The bride is loved for her sweet, christian disposition. she is very unselfish, and a tireless worker in the church. At present she has charge of the young people's work.

I believe there is a Jesse Mohon in my Grandfathers family. He is a decendant of Wiley Mohon and James Alexander Mohon. We have recently moved and I am not finding that info at the moment, but will keep you informed when I do.
good Luck judy

I would love to have the info on Dennis. There is a great possibility that Dennis is Wiley's Brother.. In that case all your info would relate to our side of the family. I presume you are talking about Dennis' ancestors. My email is judy65@ev1.net. You may have solved a great mystery. Thanks. judy

Hi Again,
I just found another Jessie Mohon with no birthdate. His father is Anderson Mohon b. 1869, married Ida Horton. His father is James A.( 1841 - 1938) and mother Mary Susan Caddell ( 1846-1923). These are the Texas Mohons. Hope it helps. Judy
