Silas Frisbie - Unknown
|
Silas was killed at Pickett Mills battle in Georgia in May 1864. He was in Tennessee working on a government survey with his father, Solomon, when the war broke out. He was conscripted by the Confederates and served for 7 months before he could run away and join the Union forces in Kentucky. The family was from Pennsylvania and had a small farm in Franklin, Tenn. which was confiscated and never returned to the family. He was the youngest in the family, 17 when he was conscripted. I have the letters he wrote to his sister in Ridgefield, Conn., including the letter informing the family of his death. He was 21 when he died.

James M. Pool - Private
|
I recently discovered that my gg grandfather was not only in the Civil War but a member of this unit. I am in process of requesting his pension records from the National Archives.
What is interesting is that at time of his enlistment in 1864 he was not only married and over age 40 but had at least 8 of his children already born.
