Muster In

150 years ago today, the name of my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Holden, first appeared in the muster roll for Company F, 73rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He mustered in at Camp Logan, Chillichothe, Ohio.

And so it begins

150 years ago today, 11 October 1861, my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Holden enlisted in Company F, of the 73rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Andrew was 22 years, 4 months and 10 days old when he enlisted. It had been 8 years and 5 months since Andrew immigrated to the United States from Ireland and 1 year and 3 days since he had become an American citizen. Andrew enlisted for a term of 3 years. After re-enlisting on 01 January 1864, Andrew's service finally ended on 20 July 1865 in Louisville, KY.

My Ancestors & the Civil War

I have been marking privately the recent 150th anniversaries of events leading up to the U.S. Civil War (e.g., 06 November 2010 was the 150th anniversary of the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States and 20 December 2010 was the 150th anniversary of the secession of South Carolina). I have been thinking for some time of starting a project of tracking my various ancestors through the years of the Civil War. I thought a good way to start was to introduce my various ancestors using the 1860 United States Federal Census. Any notes added in "[]" are mine and not in the actual census records. In the census listing I have made bold the names of my ancestors.


Schoen
Jacob and Margarethe (Jost) Schön lived in the small town of Kübelberg in the Rhineland-Palatinate in Southwestern Germany. They had 2 daughters and 4 sons. All four of their sons immigrated to the United States. Peter, Nicholas, and Joseph Schoen all settled in New York City. Their second son, Johannes, followed many of their relatives and neighbors from the Kohlbach valley and settled in Washington County, Ohio. I'll have more to say about the New York Schoen's later in the project but I haven't yet been able to find them in the 1860 census.

Johannes and Margaretha (Bender) Schoen immigrated with their two living sons, Frederick (age 7) and Karl (age 7 months) in July 1856. Originally, the lived in the "immigrant quarter" on South Hart Street in Marietta, Ohio, which is where we find them in 1860. Listed on Page No. 78 of the "Free Inhabitants of the 2nd Ward Marietta City in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 13th day of June 1860. L. L. Laflin, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Marietta."

Dwelling No. 554, Family No. 554:

Their fifth daughter, Margaret, would, in 1876, marry Frederick Schoen. By 1860, we find them on Page No. 87 of the "Free Inhabitants of Enoch Township in the County of Noble State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 19th day of June 1860. J. Belford, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Enoch O."

Both families settled in Fulda, Monroe County (later Noble County), Ohio area where Peter and Margaret met and married in the mid-1840s. A daughter of their eldest son, John, would, in 1904, marry the son of Frederick and Margaret Anna (Kress) Schoen. By 1860, we find them on Page No. 84 of the "Free Inhabitants of Enoch Township in the County of Noble State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 18th day of June 1860. J. Belford, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Enoch O."

Andrew and Beata Ada Herbst were born in Hesse, Germany and immigrated sometime before the late 1830's. They settled in Fulda, Monroe County (later Noble County), Ohio area. Their youngest daughter Carolina would, in 1870, married John Ruppel. In 1860, we find them on Page No. 87 of the "Free Inhabitants of Enoch Township in the County of Noble State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 19th day of June 1860. J. Belford, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Enoch O."

Dwelling No. 632, Family No. 610:

John, 19, male, Occupation: Farmer, Place of birth: Ohio, Did attend school
Carolina, 11, female, Place of birth: Ohio, Did attend school


Needs & King
The next two families, Needs and King, are my most persistent brick walls. Thomas E. Needs was born in Pennsylvania in 1832 to unknown parents. Margaret L. King was born in 1834 in Monroe County, Ohio to unknown parents. They would marry in Monroe County in about 1853 and, eventually, have 10 children. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find them in the 1860 census. Based on other census records, in 1860 their family should have consisted of the following people:

Thomas E. Needs, 28, male, Occupation: Farmer, Place of birth: Pennsylvania
Margaret L., 26, female, Place of birth: Ohio
Charles W., 6, male, Place of birth: Ohio
George W., 5, male, Place of birth: Ohio

My great-grandfather, James E. Needs, would not be born until 1874.


Fleming
William Fleming was born in 1808 in New Jersey. His wife Maria Medley was born in about 1825 in Washington County, Ohio. They married in 1840 in Washington County. Their eldest son, Andrew, using the name Leander Fleming would enlist in the Army in 1864. In 1860 we them on Page No. 5 of the "Free Inhabitants of Independence Township in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 27th day of July 1860. James S. Cady, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Ostend."

Dwelling No. 34, Family No. 34:

Walker
Jonathan Walker, the grandson of James Walker, a Revolutionary War veteran, was born in Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1816. Hi wife, Elisabeth S. Lowe, was born near Duck Creek in Monroe County, Ohio (now Noble County). They were married in Washington County, Ohio in 1837. Their eldest daughter, Sarah Jane, would, in 1874, marry Andrew "Leander" Fleming. Although I have found Jonathan and Elisabeth in Liberty Township, Washington County, Ohio in both the 1850 and 1870 census records, they are not listed in that township nor any other in Washington County in 1860. Based on the 1850 and 1870 census records, in 1860, their family consisted of the following people:

Jonathan Walker, 44, male, Occupation: Farmer, Place of birth: Virginia
Elisabeth S., 40, female, Place of birth: Ohio
Sarah Jane, 22, female, Place of birth: Virginia
[Sarah Jane's twin brother, John, died before 1850.]

Delila J., 8, female, Place of birth: Ohio
William M., 6, male, Place of birth: Ohio
Rachel, 4, female, Place of birth: Ohio
Ann Eliza, 3, female, Place of birth: Ohio


Roddy
John and Hannah (Kelly) Roddy were born in Ireland; John in 1818 and Hannah in 1830. They immigrated in the fateful year of 1847. The spent some time in Pennsylvania where their two eldest children were born in 1848 and 1849 and in Virginia where two more children were born in 1851 and 1853. In 1860 we find them on Page No. 6 in the "Free Inhabitants of Fairfield Township in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 25th day of July 1860. L. Laflin, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Layman."

Dwelling No. 49, Family No. 46:
John Roddy, 46, male, Occupation: Farmer, Value of real estate: $800, Value of personal estate: $390, Place of birth: Ireland
Honora [Hannah], 30, female, Place of birth: Ireland
[Their eldesdt son, Patrick, was born in 1848 and died in the early 1850s.]

Peter, 1, male, Place of birth: Ohio
Catharine, 1 month, female, Place of birth: Ohio

My great-grandfather, Owen Francis Roddy, would not be born until 1867.


Holden
John Edwin and Julia (Dooley) Holden were born in King's County, Ireland (now County Offaly) and immigrated in 1852. They gradually brought their children to America over a period of about 5 years. In 1860, we find them on Page No. 248 in the "Free Inhabitants of Warren Township in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 11th day of August 1860. L. L. Laflin, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Tunnel."

Dwelling No. 1783, Family No. 1751:
John Holden, 50, male, Occupation: Farmer, Value of real estate: $750, value of personal estate: $200, Place of birth: Ireland
Julia, 41, female, Place of birth: Ireland
Patrick, 14, male, Place of birth: Ireland, Did attend school
Mary, 7, female, Place of birth: New York
Ann C., 1, female, Place of birth: Ohio

[Mary Holden is Mary Julia Greene Holden known as Aunt Mame. She was raised by John and Julia although she was not their daughter. There is much disagreement amongst various records on her date and place of birth. Some say she was born in 1857 in New York. This census give 1853 in New York. I was told that when she came to the Holden family in 1857 she was 7 years old. She was born in Ireland and was immigrating to the US with her grandmother who died on the trip. She was given to the Holden's by the Sisters of Charity (who handled immigrant orphans) since now one else had come to claim her.]

The eldest son, Andrew, we find in the "Free Inhabitants of Dunham Township in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 2nd day of August 1860. Wm. S. Judd, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Dunham."

Dwelling No. 152, Family No. 127:
Fredrick Lewis, 67, male, Occupation: Farmer, Value of real estate: $10000, Value of personal estate: $4150, Place of birth: Rhode Island
Loring, 55, male, Occupation: Farmer, Value of personal estate: $400, Place of birth: Massachusetts
Caroline, 49, female, Place of birth: Ohio
Andrew Holden, 21, male, Occupation: Day Laborer, Place of birth: Ireland

Andrew will be heavily featured throughout this project due to his service in the Army between 1861-1865. One significant milestone already reached by the Holden family was that on 08 October 1860 they became naturalized citizens of the United States.


Highland
John and Catherine (Welch) Highland were born in County Mayo, Ireland around the turn of the 19th century. They immigrated in 1853 with their four children and settled in Washington County, Ohio. Their daughter, Catherine, would after the Civil War marry Andrew Holden. Unfortunately, they are another family that I have been unable to find in the 1860 census, but based on other census records, the family would have consisted of:

John Highland, 60, male, Place of birth: Ireland
Catherine, 60, female, Place of birth: Ireland
Thomas, 27, male, Place of birth: Ireland
John, 26, male, Place of birth: Ireland
Patrick, 24, male, Place of birth: Ireland
Catherine Anne, 22, female, Place of birth: Ireland


Hayes, Part I
Thomas Hayes, Sr. was born in County Cork, Ireland about 1800. He immigrated to Canada and married Mary Purcell. They had six children and in 1860 were still living in Lac Sainte-Marie, Quebec, Canada. Thomas and Mary would remain in Canada the rest of their lives, but their son, Thomas, Jr., who was born in 1848 and would immigrate to the US with his wife and son in 1878. There was a census of Canada in 1861 but I've not had much luck finding my ancestors in it.


Skehan
Patrick Skehan was born in 1832. He married Anne Ryan, who was born in 1831. In 1860 they were living in or near Lac Sainte-Marie, Quebec, Canada. Among their seven children was a daughter, Mary Ann, born in 1855 who, in 1875, would marry Thomas Hayes, Jr. and in 1878 immigrate with him to the U.S.


Hayes, Part II
David P. Hayes was born in Columbiana County, Ohio in 1824. His Quaker ancestors had lived in the U.S. since before the Revolutionary War. In 1847, he married Nancy Agnes Haddow who was born in Scotland in 1825 and immigrated with her family when she was 9 years old. In 1860, we find the family on Page No. 25 in the "Free Inhabitants of Barlow Township in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 14th day of June 1860. Amos Layman, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Barlow."

Dwelling No. 222, Family No. 175:
David Hay[e]s, 36, male, Occupation: Farmer, Value of real estate: $3000, Value of personal estate: $846, Place of birth: Ohio
Nancy, 35, female, Place of birth: Scotland
Lewis, 12, male, Place of birth: Ohio, Did attend school
William, 8, male, Place of birth: Ohio, Did attend school
Robert, 6, male, Place of birth: Ohio, Did attend school
Edmund, 3, male, Place of birth: Ohio
Elizabeth, 1, female, Place of birth: Ohio

It is through Nancy's family, specifically her mother Jannette Ormiston Haddow, that I can trace my earliest known ancestor. Nancy is the 34th great-granddaughter of Kenneth MacAlpin, King of the Picts, who died in 858.



Seely
Joseph Seely was born in 1823 in New York. By the mid 1840s, he had migrated to Washington County, Ohio along with other family members. In 1846 he married Caroline S. Richards who was born in Ohio in 1827. Sadly Caroline died 1858 after giving birth to 6 children. Early in 1860, Joseph married Mary M. Laughlin who was born in Ohio in 1837. Joseph's family, the Seely's, were the earliest of my ancestors to arrive in North America. Joseph's 4th great-grandfather, Obadiah Seely, arrived in Connecticut in 1640s. In 1860, we find Joseph's family on Page No. 7 in the "Free Inhabitants of Barlow Township in the County of Washington State of Ohio enumerated by me, on the 7th day of June 1860. Amos Layman, Ass't. Marshal. Post Office Vincent."

Dwelling No. 60, Family No. 50:

[Page 3] To My Comrades:       A year ago at an informal reunion of the regiment, held in this city, I made a proposition to the members present that if they would defray the expenses of the preparation of a roster of the survivors of the regiment I would do the work for my share. This they readily agreed to and I at once entered upon the undertaking.       In this little pamphlet you have as near as I have been able to accomplish it such a roster as was contemplated. It has been a more difficult task than I anticipated but it has been a work of love and I have greatly enjoyed it. I am aware that imperfections will be found in it but such things are inevitable in such undertakings. The names, company designations, with P. O. addresses of about 460 living members of our dear old command are contained in the following pages. An edition of 550 copies has been prepared so that the widows and children, even the grand-children, of some of the departed ones, who have asked for it may have a copy.       I do not know that this work will ever be revised but I earnestly request the members who receive a copy of it to report to me from time to time as they learn of it the death of any comrade. Also any errors or omissions found in the roll. [Page 4] Please notify me also of any changes in P. O. address of yourself or that of any comrade coming to your knowledge. So long as I live and am able I will publish annually, and mail to you, a statement of all changes for the year so that you may keep your copy of the roster corrected to date. The P. O. addresses where not otherwise designated are Ohio offices.       Trusting that you will appreciate this modest but priceless little roll of grizzled heroes and that it may prove of much help, satisfaction and solace to all of you.       I am as ever your devoted comrade and friend, JEWETT PALMER, (Late) Major 36th O. Infantry.

MFH: 1 June

Today is the 169th anniversary of the birth of my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Holden. Andre was born in King's County (today known as County Offaly), Ireland on 1 June 1839. He emigrated to the United States in 1852 and settled in Marietta, Washington County, Ohio.

On 11 October 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company F of the 73rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. On 18 March 1862 he was promoted to Corporal; he was promoted to Sergeant on 4 July 1863; and he was promoted to First Sergeant on 28 March 1865. Among the battles he fought in were Monterey, Shane's Bridge, McDonald, Franklin, Strausburg, Cross Keys, Cedar Mountain, Freeman's Ford, Waterloo Bridge, Sulphur Springs, 2nd Bull Run, Aldie, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Hagerstown, Ft. Wagner, John's Island, Camp Baldwin, Gainesville, and Charlestown besides over 100 skirmishes and minor engagements. He was honorably discharged at Camp Dennison, Ohio on 20 July 1865.

On 14 August 1865 in Marietta, Ohio, he married Catherine Anne Highland with whom he had five children: John Edwin (1868-1888); Mary A. (1870-1878); Thomas Francis (1871-1936); Catherine Regina (1873-1949, my great-grandmother); Margaret M. (1875-1909). Andrew and Catherine also raised their nephew William D. Holden (1882-1930).

Andrew died 24 March 1895 in Marietta, Ohio and was buried two days later in St. Mary's (Old) Cemetery in Marietta.
My descent from Andrew Holden is:
