Have you found out anything more about his burial place? Is there any museum
that has a display about him? Any other information you have would be helpful.
Thanks, Pam |

My g-grandfather Mathias Kirsch fought in the Civil War. I have found
his pension form and it says he filed in Iowa on July 23, 1890 and Missouri
on October 23, 1903. I know he joined the army in Wayland, New York. Can
anyone give me a clue why he would have filed for pension in Missouri?
He lived and died in Iowa. I would sure appreciate any help. I am trying
to find out where he was from 1862 til 1881. Maybe Missouri is where I
have to look. Anyway if you can answer why he would file for pension in
Missouri, I would appreciate it. |

Does anyone out there have any information on Hobb's Company, 2nd Northeast
Missouri Cavalry, C.S.A. The regiment was commanded by Colonel Cyrus Franklin.
Captain Joshua Hobb's, I think, was captured in late 1862. I am especially
interested in any accounts describing their involment in the war, including
the raid on Canton and the Battle of Kirksville. My wife Cathy is a direct
descendant of Second Lieutenant Samuel Ewalt, of Hobb's Company. Ewalt
came from a well to do Southern Family in LaBelle, Lewis County, Missouri.
He had five other brothers serving in the Confederate cause, two of which
were KIA. Samuel, whose mother, Ketturah Stamps Ewalt, was a sister-in
law of Jefferson Davis. Any information on Samuel Ewalt, especially a photograph,
would be appreciated. Samuel lived 1831 to 1898. He had made the trip to
California during the Gold Rush in 1852. He married Martha Jane Wilson
in 1859. They had several children, my wife's direct ancestor being Kitty
Lou, who was born in 1864. Samuel had accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior
in 1860. He was very active in the church and supported a church run orphanage
in Canton. His widow died as the result of an automibile accident near
Cody, Wyoming in 1917. Any details on Samuel Ewalt or his Confederate brothers
would be appreciated. Thank you. |

The story implies strongly that Sam was at least part Cherokee but doesn't
come right out and say so. It states that the white men, in the case Firman
McIlvane, used the "Old Mule Trick" on Indians. Is it your opinion then,
that Sam was at least part Cherokee? And if so, what of his wife, Margaret

I have been searching for any document that could give me more information
about my ancestor of USCT that fought in the Civil War. There is no record
of him in the Archives of Washington or Missouri. I have a feeling his
records were destroyed because he was located in the 1890 census stating
his infantry. I think i read somewhere that the information was lost and
the census takers at that time ask who was in the civil war and the information.
I guess they took his word for it because he was receiving a pension according
to his obituary. Do you think you could provide me with aany avenue of
information. Thank you. |
