I am looking for a soldier that passed away that fateful night. His name was John Cornwell and he was a Union Prisoner of the Civil War. His wife was Lendamine Calkins Cornwell and his daughter Alice Lucetta Cornwell Campbell was my mothers paternal Grandmother. I found John on the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm John Cornwell of the 100 Ohio Infantry, Company A, went in as a corporal and out as a Sergeant.



ANY THING YOU MAY HAVE ON HIM WILL HELP TREMENDOUSLY.



Thank you so very much

Message regarding Sargent John Cornwell Company A, 100th Ohio. John Cornwell was my Great, Great, Grand Uncle, by Marrage. His Wife Lindamine Calkins was my Great, Great, Grand Aunt. I am familiar with this family. My Great, Great Grandfather was Clark Lyman Calkins. This would be John Cornwell's Brother-in-Law. was bornJuly 11, 1837. He Married Linda Calkins on July 11, 1858. John enlisted in the Army, during the Civil War. He was captured on September 8, 1863 in Tenn, with 240 other soldiers, while guarding the railroad at Telford. He was taken to Andersonville Prison to be held until the end of the war. He died April 27th, 1865.
Lindamine Calkins Cornwell also had a brother that served during the Civil War. Her Brother, Augustus "Jesse" Calkins served with the 144th Ohio National Guard and was on duty at Wilmington, Delaware. After the War. Augustus was to be married. Friends and family were all gathered at the the home of Augustus' Parents (A.Elisha Calkins) in Pemberville, Ohio on the wedding day. Preperations were being made for the wedding, when the men decided to go out in the woods to cut some wood for the fires. They told Augustus to stay at the house and help the women, but he decided to Go out and help the other men Gather fire wood. Just as he entered the wood lot where the other men were, A tree they were cutting on fell and hit a spike in another tree. The spike flew through the air like a bullet and hit Augustus at the base of the head, killing him instantly, on his wedding day. My Great Great Grandfather, Clark Calkins, Lindamine's older brother was involved in the Copper-Head movement in Ohio. He and some other men enliste in the Confederate Army, and hopped a Train going down south. Just a few miles south of Perrysburg, Ohio, the train was wrecked, and Clark was badly injured. After a brief stay in the hospital, he was sent home. Best regards, Jack Shaw / jackoshaw6@earthlink.net

My GGG Uncle, Bartley McMurray survived the Sultana disaster. He was a soldier in the 3rd TN Cavalry. He lived in Blount County and returned there at war's end. Bartley is buried in Eusebia Cemetery near Maryville, TN. I am looking for more information about him, but what intrigued me about your post was the list and book you mentioned. My husband's GG grandfather was also a survivor. His last name is Donohoe, but may have been spelled another way: Donahue, Donahoe, etc. He is buried in St. Agnes Cemetery in Albany, NY, but we know little about him. he may have been listed as from NYC, and was most likely a prisoner from Andersonville, SC or another Confederate prison camp.Any information would be appreciated.
