John H. DWYER-13th Vermont Infantry

DWilliams2020 — 2013-03-02 17:57:24Z

Sargent John H. DWYER was with the "G" Company of the 13th Vermont Infantry during the Civil War. I found limited information on the Web regarding him. Apparently he was wounded because he filed an invalid application from Iowa on 4 May 1904. How do I get copies of his service records including enlistment information?

DWilliams2020 — 2013-03-02 04:43:32Z

Thank you for thinking of me. I, too, have the article. It has been handed down through my husband's family. John's wife Amanda Grant was a distant cousin to Ulysses Grant.

Appreciate the time it took for you to copy the article. Sincerely, Diana Williams

Re: John H. DWYER-13th Vermont Infantry

wendywillett — 2013-03-01 19:27:52Z

I have access to a book called "History of the 13th Regiment Vermont Volunteers" by Ralph Orson Sturtevant, and here is an excerpt from page 597:

JOHN H. DWYER.
I was born near Burlington, Vt., October 23rd, 1837, but was raised in Richford.
Franklin county, where I enlisted. I had no fighting ancestors that I know of—though I
have seen some of them mad enough to fight, so I conclude my patriotism was net inherited.
Our company's letter was G, and we rendezvoused at Bakersfield for a short time
before going to Brattleboro where we were mustered into United States service. I value
my army experience very highly, though short. It enabled me to understand many things
about war and to realize what our martyred Lincoln meant when he said he had a big
job on his hands. Forty-four long years have slipped away since those days and many
of the comrades have answered to the last roll call, but the memory of those marches
and counter marches, the Sunday reviews, are all fresh in our memory and the big runaway,
when our Colonel slipped away from Colonel Blunt of the 12th Regiment and
we came back to our old camp onlj- to find it ruined. We were consoled by the thought
that it was all necessary to put down Rebellion.
After we left Brattleboro nothing of special note occurred while in transit to Washington.
I recall the very cordial greeting we received at Philadelphia, Pa. It was
Sabbath afternoon when we reached the city and the crowd that greeted us was immense
the majority were of the fair sex. The train was delayed there for a time and the
boys passed the time by visiting with the girls and it is said that there were friendships
formed there that resulted in marriage. We arrived at Washington a tired lot
and I never enjoyed a better night's rest than that night with my knapsack for a pillow
and the soft floor of the depot for a bed. We finally settled at camp Vermont on the
Potomac River. While at this camp we visited Mount Vernon quite often. As I was
returning one day from one of these visits we called on a doctor's family there werei
two nice appearing young ladles at home. They said their father was in Capitol prison
because he would not take the oath of allegiance. Also they had tour brothers in the
Confederate army and they (though girls) wished they had five.
I contracted typhoid fever while at camp Vermont, which came near terminating
fatally—from which I did not fully recover until I reached home. I shall never forget
the kindness of Surgeon Nichols, also of our Lieutenant Clarke while on the Gettysburg
march. I fell out one day and the Provost Guard picked me up and reported me to
Surgeon Nichols who came riding back and insisted that I ride his horse while he
walked, and Lieutenant Clarke would always have me ride his horse. The Major was
taking a fine horse through for Lieutenant Clarke—when the Major would send it
back for Lieutenant to ride. I was mustered out at Brattleboro, Vt., July 21st, 1863,
and the next year I was married and came to Iowa where I now live in the town of
Glenwood. I have four children living, two girls and two boys. One of the girls has
settled in AVashington. One of the boys is teaching in Robert College, Constantinople,
Turkey, and the other boy and girl are living at home with us. My wife's maiden name
was Amanda Grant; the children are Lotta B., Gertie E., lone E., and Oliver M. The
Lord has been very good to us.
P. S.—In reply to your letter I may say my occupation before and since the war
has been farming . As to civil office I have been very fortunate and have escaped
thus far, except some township office such as clerk. As to my religious life. I experienced
a change of heart just before the war broke out and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church and have been a member ever since. The Saviour is precious to me.
I find him to be a complete Saviour. John H. Dwyer.
In his very interesting and exhaustive sketch, to which I refer the reader, John
in his modesty failed to tell us that he was one of the most efficient orderly sergeants
of the regiment. The boys all loved him and were glad to serve under him. They
have the most pleasant memories of him. At roll call how he would rattle off the
names, often from memory, till many in the company could repeat them. He was
a hail fellow, pleasant, good ratured, honest as a deacon—ready for fun or a fight,
if the enemy were rebels. His many virtues as a soldier have evidently served him
well since the war.

Hope this is helpful. Have a good day.

Re: History of 13th Regiment Vermont Volunteers - Reference needed

wendywillett — 2013-03-01 19:07:30Z

I have access to a copy of the book. Here is what it says on page 534 about James C. Harmon:

"was raised in Checkerberry, (a village in Milton), educated in the common and
select schools there, and enlisted at the age of 19 in August, '62, in Company D. He
was appointed by the town, a recruiting officer, and by his efforts many of his friends
joined the 13th Regiment. At the formation of the Company he was made a corporal,
and from his strict attention to duty, and his natural ability he was promoted Sergeant
and served with the company till discharged with the regiment by reason of expiration
of term of service. He was wounded at Gettysburg July 3rd, '63. Later he studied
medicine, was admitted to practice, married and located in Westford After some
years of successful jiractice he moved to Rantoul. 111., where he died in 1906. He
several times returned to Vermont to attend the annual reunions of the regiment
and was a loyal member of the Association." Hope this is helpful. Have a good day.

The 1900 United States census indicates David Gochey's mother and father were born in France. David (age 62) is listed as living in Missouri with his wife Sarah (age 42) and daughter Lucy L. (age 16). David and his wife are listed as being married for 18 years. Census lists just the one child. David's occupation is listed as wagon maker.

Re: David Gochey with 10th Regiment of Vermont Infantry Volunteers?

Wendy_Willett — 2013-02-16 03:12:49Z

In the event you have not yet found information:

Listed in the History of the Tenth Regiment, Vt. Vols. by Edwin Mortimer Hayes: David Gochey, from Georgia Vt. Enlisted August 11, 1862 and mustered in September 1, 1862 Tenth Regiment, Vt Volunteers, Company I. Was wounded September 19, 1864. Promoted to Corporal February 28, 1865. Mustered out June 22, 1865.

From "Vermnt in the Civil War. A History of the Part Taken by the Vermont Soldiers and Sailors in the War for the Union 1861-5" by G. G. Benedict. Volume I:

In the battle of the Opequon on the 19th of September,the regiment was commanded by Major Dillingham, who took about 350 men into the tight. In the first deployment of the Sixth Corps on that field Bicketts's division was formed in two lines on the right of the Berryville pike, facing Bamseur's division, the Nineteenth Corps being on its right. About noon, in the advance of the brigade and division to the assault, under the severe fire of 'Braxton's artillery, Major Dillingham was struck in the left thigh by a solid shot which almost tore off the leg. He was borne bleeding to the rear and died in three hours. About the same time Lieutenant Hill of company H had his thigh-bone splintered by a grape shot, inflicting a wound from which he died.
After the fall of Major Dillingham, the command of the
Tenth devolved upon Captain Lucius T. Hunt of company H,
who handled the regiment efficiently, assisted by Adjutant
Lyman. The regiment advanced through a piece of woods
and across an open field, when it came under musketry fire
from the enemy's line, a short distance beyond. The first
line halted and began fixing ; the second line closed upon it, and lines and commands became considerably mixed for a
time. Under the charge of Battles's brigade, of Bodes's
division, which beat back the left of the Nineteenth Corps
and the right of Bicketts's division, the Tenth fell back with the brigade ; was re-formed advanced again and lay down
till ordered forward in the last grand charge and rout of the enemy, in which the regiment participated with spirit.
The rejoicing among the men of the Tenth over the punishment
inflicted in this battle on Gordon's and Bamseur's
divisions, which had so roughly handled Bicketts's division
in the battle of the Monocacy, was sadly tempered by sorrow
over the loss of their gallant young major/ and of other good officers and men. The Tenth lost in this battle 11 killed and 52 wounded. Four men were reported missing, all of whom soon after rejoined the regiment. Among the wounded were First Lieutenant L. A. Abbott of company E, who was shot in the face, First Lieutenant George E. Davis of company D, who was stunned by the explosion of a shell (which took off the head of a man at his side) and was slightly wounded in the ear by a fragment, and Lieutenant Hill.'

' The rank and file killed were : Company F, Sergeant Orcemer R. McGowan and Corporal John Louiselle; company G, Ira J. Eager, Edwin S. Battles, Peter Bingham and Josiah Clark ; company H, Owen Bartley, Duncan Carron, Aaron P. Knight and Simon Lesage. The wounded were : Company A, Corporal J. B. Berthiaume, Corporal C. A. Conelly and Joseph Tyler ; company B, Sergeant Jerome Ayers, I. I. Johnson, W. H. Crossett and John llublee; company C, Henry Minor, Edward P. Kimberly, John Lewis, H. D. Bates, Joseph White, F. H. Hoadley, Allen Rogers, M. Hubbard and N. King ; company D, Sergeant H. C. Irish, Sergeant G. P. Shedd, Emerson Fay, Alfred Boucher,George Burnett and Charles Cushman ; company E, George W.

Civil War Challenge - Identifying Alburgh, Vermont's unnamed "Indian" soldiers.

CanyonWolf — 2011-04-25 19:04:21Z

I am trying to identify the Civil War soldiers mentioned in the Alburgh Town Record simply as "Four Indians". I need assistance from anyone interested in helping. Please help in any way you can and please take a moment to spread the word around to any interested parties.

My name is Nancy Lecompte. I am the Research & Education Director for Ne-Do-Ba, a Maine Nonprofit 501(c)3 Corporation.

Below is the introduction from my blog post of April 25, 2011 concerning these men. You can read the entire blog post and see where my research has taken me so far by visiting here

http://nedoba.blogspot.com/2011/04/civil-war-challenge-ident...

--------------------------------

During the Civil War the town of Alburgh, Vermont kept a record of men who served for the town. However, there are men in the town record with no names. They are identified only as “Four Indians”. In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of that terrible time in our history, I challenge my readers; Civil War buffs, historians, & genealogists from all corners; the people of Vermont; and most especially the town of Alburgh - give these men the proper recognition they deserve by giving them names.

Today, I am posting a copy of the original town record and showing my research to date. I can not do this alone. I ask assistance from everyone that appreciates the injustice of this. The general population of the mid-19th Century placed so little value on Indian life, they could not even be bothered to record the names of these “Indian” men who offered their lives.

These men deserve to be recognized properly. Because of their service, other men did not have to serve. These men deserve a proper place in the history of this county. It is time to correct this unfortunate oversight, identify these brave men, and tell their story to the world. It is, in my opinion, the only proper way to honor their sacrifice during this period of Civil War Commemoration.

--------------------------------

I am seeking contact with descendants of the possible candidates outlined in my blog and period researchers to help fill in gaps. My biggest need at this time is raising $150 to acquire 2 soldier's pension files from the National Archives.

Thank You in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide.

I'm looking where to get pitures of my BETTERS relations. I'm looking for pictures of Austin, John B., John B. and Mitchell BETTERS, especially Austins as he was my gg-grandfather. Austin was in the 10th VVI and then looks to be transferred to the 1st US Arty June 16, 1665. Both John B.' were in the 10th VVI. Though one of the John B's was a POW June 29, 1864 at Andersonville. Mitchell Betters was in the 3rd VVI. Any idea' where I can get copies of their pictures? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe Clara is the daughter of Joseph and Harriet Blondin. I just wasn't certain how they were related. Would you have any more information on the family of Joseph and Harriet? I've just begun researching the Sidneys, so I haven't alot of info, but I would happily share what I have. You can email me at ellejayne28@hotmail.com.

Thanks very much - very informative!

Re: Canadians in VT 17th Infantry?

Ken_Sch — 2007-01-06 23:48:43Z

It was fairly common for Canadians to cross over the border to enlist in the Union Army; how many did so voluntarily, however, is a matter of conjecture, as crimping was widespread in Canada, especially towards the end of the war. One didn't have to be a U.S. citizen to enlist, but Canadians were British Subjects and therefore it was illegal for them to enlist for service in the Civil War. The problem was that the state of policing during this era made it virtually impossible to crack down on men enlisting in the Union Army. Towards the end of the war when crimps became more brazen, they were sometimes arrested, but to the best of my knoweledge no Canadian was ever arrested for serving in the war. Many Canadians who left Canada to serve in the war remained in the U.S. because there were better opportunities there or they received land grants.

Canadians in VT 17th Infantry?

jdoxxxliver2 — 2006-10-07 19:24:50Z

As best as I can determine, my GGfather, James Frazier, was born in Canada. It appears he went to the US in about 1861, then joined the 17th Infantry (probably in Brattleboro) as a private on 8/1/1864. After serving for about a year, he was mustered out in July 14, 1865, in Burlington. It appears he remained in VT about a year before moving to Wisconsin. My questions concern his being Canadian, and joining the Union Army. Would he have had to be a US citizen to join? Could he have just walked across the border in that era (i.e. no passports or "permissions" required)? Would having served in the Army have given him citizenship, or provided him any special US benefits? It appears he lived the rest of his life in Wisconsin, but never had to do anything to become a citizen. If anyone can provide any information about James (I am unable to locate his birth records, or anything about his time in VT), or answer these questions about the US-Canada border, and requirements to join the 17th VT Infantry, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Looking for Information VT Vol.

pennykresl43 — 2005-04-23 18:36:33Z

Hello ~

I am looking for some information and I am hoping someone can help me.

My 3rd great grandfather, Ebenezer Beebe was in the Civil War , He enlisted in the VT 5th Co E volunteer and was mustered out at St Albans, VT. He died Jan 21, 1862 of Typhoid Fever while at Camp Giffin, VA at the Regimental Hospital there. I sent for his pension file and Military records but no where does it state his burial location.

Does anyone have a clue where a dead soldier would be buried, especially if he died at a Hostpital at Camp Griffin? I would think they have records somewhere since he died at a hospital, I am almost certain in fact they would. What is the nearest military Cemetery in relation to Camp Griffin...or would they ship the body back to his hometown of Dorset VT?
I highly doubt he is buried in VT since the family was rather poor, but one never knows. He is listed on the VT VOL Military page as a Soldier, who gave his life, but his burial location is listed as unknown. No one living in our family seems to have this information and I would love to add it to my family history,

Thank you for any help,

Penny Kresl

You will need to request both his service records and pension records from NARA. Here is the website for veterens information:
http://www.archives.gov/research_room/obtain_copies/veterans...

I have a reference called "Historical and Biographical History of the 13th Regiment Vt Volunteers, by Ralph Orson Sturtevant, 1910.
An autobiographical paragraph is contained on page 597.
Let me know if you would like it transcribed further....

I was born near Burlington, Bt. October 23rd 1837, but was raised in Richford, Franklin county, where I enlisted. ....
