Re: Culpepper's Battery

RettFloyd77 — 2012-08-05 20:06:44Z

I have done extensive research on Culpeper's battery with plans to publish a book on the battery. James Avin enlisted in the spring of 1862, was taken prisoner at Ft. Gaines, AL on 8/8/1864, was exchanged 1/4/1865. He was temporarily attached to the 5th Co. Washington Artillery late in the war and thus, luckily missed being captured again at Ft. Blakely, AL....Do you have a photo, letters etc..from James Avin that I could add to my narrative? Thanks for your help.

Re: Sizemore

PWarrenBrown — 2012-06-05 01:57:51Z

Sadie:

I am not sure if this is just for "fun" research or to join the UDC; if it is for UDC, you will need to find either an 1850 and/or 1860 Census Record, Will, obit, or similar source that proves the relationship to the ancestor that you are certain is yours. I will not say that is always easy, but it is often possible. Forewarned, it is often necessary to find a different ancestor when you can't prove the one you want.

I am not sure what steps you have made in that direction, but I would be happy to help, if I can -- I am a Life Member of the SCV. Private message me for contact info, ect.

Sizemore

arjester — 2012-06-04 01:46:10Z

Hello,

I am searching for any information on a Berry Sizemore or Sysemore. I know he was in the war and died at the battle of the Crater and is buried in Petersburg, VA. I need to know if he is actually my ancestor. I have his service record but I want to see if I can find out who his relatives are. I have a Benny or Berry Sizemore that is a gggg grandfather and I know his wife and children. I'm trying to see if it is the same person. Any help is appreciated.

Fred,

Thanks. With your spelling of WELSH, I was able to find Edward's service records.

The info you have about Hiram RUDD agrees with mine. His wife was Ann C. WILLIAMS. There are conflicting records of her middle name being Christine or Catherine. She first married William S. "Red" WHALEY Sr.

Thanks again,
Jean

Re: 5th SC Cavalry

FredKnudsen — 2012-03-06 12:45:11Z

Jean:

So far as I know, Edward WELCH (WELSH) and James E. WELCH were two different men.

Here's what I have on your ggf:
RUDD, Hiram J. (1845–1910): PVT, Co. G, 5th SC Cavalry. Residence: Charleston Dist. b. 20 Aug 1845. Enlisted at James Island, SC, 23 Sep 1863, age 19. Reported in Dismounted Bn., 31 Oct 1864. Last recorded on clothing receipt roll, dated 1 Dec 1864. Post-war, farmer in Berkeley Co., SC. d. 30 Jan 1910, Berkeley Co., SC. m. Ann Christeen WILLIAM.

If you have any additional information or corrections, please let me know.

Best regards,

Re: Marion Bloomfield Duncan

MMDouthit — 2011-09-14 21:48:49Z

Hi Barbara. Nice to meet you. Yes, my post WAS quite a while back and I have found a bit of information on the Duncans since that time and have what I believe to be MB's father and grandfather and a bit about them. I haven't gone back any farther than that. I have LIzzie in my tree, but never pursued her line. I just noticed that I DO have a marriage record from the SC Baptist Deaths and Marriages, 1866-87, compilation which states "At the residence of the bride's mother, Feb. 6, 1883, by Rev. C.T. Scaife, Mr. W.J.D.Williams of York County and Miss Lizzie Duncan, of Union Co., SC." It looks like all of the Duncan daughters married at home.

I can write you up a composite of the information I have (along with references) if you want to email me and send your email address. My email is prairedust@gmail.com. I will look forward to hearing from you!

Re: Marion Bloomfield Duncan

thedmonsons1 — 2011-09-14 20:19:30Z

realize your query was some while back, however I am just now
trying to locate Duncan history. The grandmother I lived with:
Mary V. Williams (Ryan)was the grandaughter of Marion B. Duncan and Permelia Ann Jefferies. Their daughter, "Lizzie"
Teriza Elizabeth Duncan (Williams) was her mother.

Lizzie married William Jefferson Davis Williams in SC in the home of her Mother. This was my great grandfather with whom
I lived until his death, at which time I was eleven years old.
I only knew of them living where I reside, Birmingham, Al, but have not researched enough to find out when they moved to Alabama.

from what i can tell mary madden was john nolan's wife. the john nolan referred to in this post is mary madden's father-in-law william john nolan. i'm not certain william was his first name. john nolan and mary madden had a son named william ferrell nolan that was called willie. i am going to do more research now because more info has popped up. feel free to email me at jenny_dale@hotmail.com, it is very possible your Bernard Madden is related.

Re: John Nolan of Charleston, SC

bmalanik — 2011-07-21 01:09:31Z

Do you have any info on Mary Madden? My ggrandfather Bernard Madden lived in Charleston in the 1860's but I do not know if he had any brothers or sisters in Charleston. He came from Ireland in the 1850's.

Re: John Nolan of Charleston, SC

EAngJennydale — 2010-06-02 09:31:11Z

Ok I finally have some information to give.

He was born around 1830, most likely in Ireland
He died 18 Jan 1869 in SC, most likely around Charleston
He is buried at St. Lawrence Cemetery in Charleston.
His father was William John Nolan called John
His mother was Ann Garey Nolan
His wife was Mary Madden but they were not married in 1860.
His has at least one son William Farrel sometimes called Willie Farel. the spelling of Farel is always different. Willie was born in 1865.

I hope this information helps.

I found him in the 1860 census in Charleston, SC listed with his siblings. He is listed as a carpenter so that fits with cabnetmaker. His father and one of his brothers worked as wheelwrights so he might have done that as well. I knew that Catherine was his sister bc she is my gg grandmother, I can varify Michael as well, the Ann that is listed is either the mother or the sister but i believe they have the age incorrect.
