    The American Civil War was a conflict fought between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America, a collection of eleven southern states that seceded from the Union between 1860 and 1861. The war lasted from 1861 to 1865.

    Surprisingly, I have yet to identify a single ancestor from whom we are directly descended who fought in the Civil War. For our ancestors who lived through this time, it seemed most were either too young or too old during those four years. I have, however, uncovered many uncles and cousins who fought on the Union side of the Civil War, and in this collection I present that research.

  • Notes 
    • George Edwin SHOREY (#525) was born in Lebanon, York Co., ME October 1848. George died 12 August 1864 in Andersonville, GA, at age 15. His body was interred 12 August 1864 in Grave #5405, Andersonville, GA. He answered the call to arms during the Civil War by enlisting on 30 March 1864 as a soldier in the U.S. Army for three years at Concord, N.H. His application states he was born in Rochester. He was described as having dark eyes, brown hair, and dark complexion, and as 5 feet, 4-1/2 inches tall, and 18 years old. He was mustered into Company C of the First regiment of the N.H. Cavalry as a private, commanded by Capt. P.L. Wiggins.
      Where he served from his enlistment to June 13 is unknown, but we next find him at White Oak Swamp, Cold Harbor, Va. where he was listed as being captured. One account we have seen listed him as being captured "when his horse failed him," but we have no substantiation. Two days later he was confined at Richmond, VA, and then on June 21 he was transferred to Andersonville, a "hell-hole" for the Yankee prisoners. In a memorandum from prisoner of war records No.8519, citing Vol.4, Pages 307 and 531-2, Vol. 17, p.137 and Vol.3, p.276, it is noted that he died in quarters 12 Aug. of diarrhea. His name was erroneously recorded as "Shoritz" in at least one place.
