Another new descendant has been added to our list;  Walt Knake and is the gg grandson of James McGinn, who served with the Pa. 102nd regiment Co L.
We will be posting further information at a later date.  The descendants list includes the burial place of James McGinn.  (see descendants page). Also, Walt provided me with additional ancestors who served in other regiments. We will be posting more information about them in the near future as Walt researches their military and personal history.  Here is a breif list:  James McGinn, fought in the Civil War with the 102nd Inf Reg from Sept 1, 1861 till his discharge from same unit on June 28, 1865. James' brother, William McGinn, served with the 10th PA Res Inf. Their first cousins, James Mullen and Michael Mullen, served with the 36th PA inf Reg and the 139th PA Inf Reg. respectively. James died at Andersonville after having been captured in the battle of the Wilderness. He died on October 11, 1864. Michael was KIA on April 2, 1865. I am not sure where he was killed and am still searching. Two other cousins served, James O'Leary with the 106th PA Inf Res from 8/27/1861 to 3/26/1863 and his brother, Arthur, who served with the 3rd PA Heavy Art'y.
I am now in the process of transferring and formating our entire website with Dreamweaver. It will be a more stable and professional looking website. I have received many compliments on our website.  I hope to make it even better to read and navigate!  Thank you all for your continued support.

Apologies for not updating our site sooner. Added today are new descendants. There are a few more and I will get to them very soon, promise!!

 

July 29, 2006

I want to pass on the following information to the descendants of Christopher Brose. A seller on Ebay contacted me with an item for sale that he says is an original document. Here is the information I was given.
 eBay: Civil War PA Infantry Promotion Warrant to First Cpl. (item 200002642707 end time Jul-05-06 17:41:16 PDT
 I do not know anything about the seller or the document as to it's authenticity. That will be up to any interested parties to inquire.
In addition, after several attempts to re-format the page for Captain DuVall, I have posted the original formatted page.  Viewing will differ on a variety of computers and if you are having problems with text over or behind pictures I sincerely apologize.  Using Front Page as a web page software editor has it's shortcomings for which there seems not to be a simple solution. I am hoping that in the near future I can convert our web site with Dreamweaver software which should correct these various problems and prove to be more stable. 
I have re- arranged  navigation for the "Soldier's Profiles" pages so that they are easier to navigate. Each individuals page now has links to all other soldier pages.

We have a new descendant, Michael C. Thompson. He  will be providing more information on his great grandfather, Lieut. John Aiken of Co M., aka Captain Alonzo "John" Aiken. This soldier's name appears in John Niebaum's roster as  Lieut. John Aiken, but his pension records indicate his rank as Captain.  Also, I have received additional correspondence from Gregg Mertens regarding his ancestor John Keil of Co. K.  He will be sending me more information about John and I will be posting his profile on our site just as soon as I receive it.  Somehow I missed posting Gregg on our descendants list, but that has been corrected.  I have noticed that some of the pictures are askew on the pages of J.B. Martin's diary.  I will be correcting that in the very near future.
That is all for now.  Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions, additions,  corrections, or ideas for our website.

August 30, 2005

Greetings to all descendants and visitors.  A long time has passed since I last added to our pages.  I have recently been contacted by the great- g-g grandson of Edward L. Hoon, Corporal CO H.  Zack Hoon.  He was not aware that there was a diary written by Corporal Hoon and was published in the North South Trader Magazine in November-December 1976.  He contacted me because I had posted on our home page the diary was soon to be published on our site.  It has been a long time coming, but is now on our website for all to read.
 Diary of E. L. Hoon .  I am waiting for more information about E. L. Hoon from Zack and will post that as soon as I receive it.   There are other new members to be posted as well and I am going through my correspondence to find their names and place them on our ever growing descendants list. If I have missed anyone, please let me know so I can properly add your name to our list of descendants. Also, if I have incorrect or missing information, don't hesitate to call it to my attention.  You will notice too I have changed the format for the Descendants page. Hopefully the list will be easier for everyone to read. 
The "Minutes of Washington Infantry Veteran Corps. Organized- Jan. 30th, 1891", as provided to us by Tim Perkins, have also been posted; See the link on the home page or click here:  "Wash Inf. Vet Corps".
As always, please email with any questions, additions, corrections.  info@cwdpa102ndregimentvolinf.com.

My apologies to all as I have been remiss in getting news and new members listed on our website.  I am now webmaster to four websites, adding to my workload.  My side interests that include learning new software, Dreamweaver, learning  to use the two new telescopes and trying my hand at astrophotography, has kept me preoccupied to say the least.  I have every intention to dedicating more time to our site as it is, to me, the most important of all. 
Today, I have a request from Angus Gunn regarding Captain John Large.  He wants to contact Ken Large in order to exchange information about the Captain.  I have been unable to locate Ken's address.  Hopefully he will read this and get back to me with his address so I may pass it on to Angus.  If anyone has knowledge of or is in contact with Ken, please write and let us know. The 102nd roster lists previously labeled "Officers" for each company have been corrected. 
That is all for today.


July 20, 2004
Welcome to our new member Harry Fails.  Harry has a number of ancestors  who served in the Civil War.  Two were with the Pa. 102nd Regiment:  John A. Fails, Private, Co.

Having heard from several new people in the last two months, I can tell you this much so far;  Kathie Forbes is transcribing the diary of  her Great-great grandfather Sergeant Lewis Cass White, Co H of the Pa.102nd regiment.  {Lewis C. White is in the article of  Pa.102nd Flags .} The information Kathie sends will be posted just as soon as it is received.  Kathie also has some other information she is going to share, but I will leave it at that for now.   A descendant of  William Fails, Private, Co I, and of Matthias Shortencarrier of Co E;  have contacted us as well.    Another descendant is having some difficulty locating information on her Great-great grandfather, John S. McCandless, Corporal Co I.  If anyone has information on this soldier, it would be greatly appreciated, and I will forward it.  John S. McCandless died April 3, 1903 and is buried in Homewood Cemetery, Sect 12. Pittsburgh Pa. ( I will be adding this to the cemetery page at a later date).   I am awaiting permission to list the descendants of the soldiers mentioned above on our website.
 (Checking the roster in Niebaum I found only a similar name is listed,
Shorteneavier, Nathaniel, Private Co E).

 

June 5, 2004
Posted today are some new photos to the soldier's albums that Clarence has updated.  I have placed links on the descendant's page so you may go directly to the soldier's photograph from there via link from the rank of the soldier.  The links on the descendant's page from the soldier's name, are to direct you to his letters, diary or profile, &c.  If I missed anyone please let me know.  We are always updating as we receive new information. Let us know if you have any difficulty with the links or any other problems.

June 4, 2004

April 11, 2004

Today is posted the VI and final article from the 1909 Pittsburgh Gazette Times.  Many thanks to Clarence McAllister for his hard work and dedication in contributing to the Pennsylvania 102nd Regiment website.

April 7, 2004

Today is posted a grave stone of Wm. Ferree and his burial location in Finleyville, Pa.  More information is forthcoming on Wm. Ferree, from two new members. Welcome to Nancy Ferree Johnson, great niece of Wm. S. Ferree, and Richard Davis who is the great-grandson of Sidney Morris Davis, who served in Co F of the U. S 3rd Calvary.  All of Co F enlisted at Pittsburgh.  Richard has information about Wm. Ferree and the surrounding area where Sidney and Wm. played together as boys.  This is what Richard wrote to me recently:  

 Sidney wrote his book in 1871 and tried to get it published. He wrote that the reason the book was written was that there were no books available on the war!  Also, I hadn't realized what an advantage he had until I read the notes from Willie Ferree. Sidney had served his printing apprenticeship at newspapers in Pittsburgh and Cleveland before he enlisted at the age of 20. He has a great writing style and a better vocabulary than I do. Besides the names of fellow members of his company, throughout his book at different camp sites, he will go to visit other Pa regiments when they are in his area. Ever since I read his book, I have wanted to get in touch with other descendants of the men he mentions. He also wrote of  other friends who came from Limetown or Coal Bluff in other units.   We will look forward to more information from Richard.  I will be adding a page for Sidney Morris Davis and a brief description of the Pa 6th Calvary.  So check back often.

April 6 2004

   Today is posted the Fifth article of the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.  These articles are a must read!                 On a personal note; it's supposed to be spring here in Maine.  You guessed it, we have snow!!  Well, at least it's too cold for the "black flies."

April 3 2004

The fourth article of the Pittsburgh Gazette Times is posted today.  Once "tax season" is over and I get caught up I will be adding more of Chaplain Stewart's book.  Clarence has indicated there are more Pgh. Gazette articles coming soon.  The Wm. Ferree letter, transcribed by Monica B. and posted last month or so, has caught the interest of two new people who have a direct interest and  knowledge of Wm.'s family and the surrounding community in which he lived.  That information will be posted as soon as received.  So check the site often.

Today chapter two of A. M. Stewart's Camp, March and Battle-Field is completed for your viewing in pdf format.  The document is fully searchable and available for you to print.  Once again, the transcription is verbatim; spellings and grammar have not been corrected.  Chapter III will be available next week.

Dave Lambert, our honorary member is in the process of writing a book about Chaplain Stewart and the Pa 102nd Regiment and kindly submitted the profile for our website. I trust you will find it interesting.

December 31, 2003

Only one more day left in the year 2003. Happy New Year, 2004 to all of our friends.  May the new year be filled with peace and good will.  Only one new item tonight just posted. Another few pages from John Niebaum's book. It is the list of soldiers who served in other regiments. I am going to try to insert links from the names of soldiers in both the pages from Niebaum's book that are posted, to any other page that has information about a particular soldier.  This will take some time to complete but in the end provide even the smallest link to any document we have on our website.  This is important to know where our ancestors were at a particular time.  It will put a little better perspective on a soldiers life, especially for those who have little or no information.

December 26, 2003

The rosters for the Pa 102nd Regiment are now all posted for your viewing, including the unassigned soldiers.  I will be posting more from John H. Niebaum's book soon.  I hope you all had a very peaceful holiday and wishing you all a great new year!

December 11, 2003

Colonel  John W. Patterson has been posted today.

December 8, 2003

Well, I've done it!! All links to all pages start at the Index page.  There are no more table of contents pages.   Easy navigation is fundamental to a successful website & we had two too many pages. Should you encounter any difficulty moving through the pages, and of course, if you have any suggestions to enable even better navigating, please don't hesitate to let us know. So there you go- happy navigating through our site, I hope.   Colonel Patterson is next up-soon!  Here in Maine, we are enjoying our first two winter storms, one after the other. Today, a beautiful sunny day, and the new fallen snow makes the scenery even more beautiful. 

Pictured: Bass Harbor on Mount Desert Island, ME. & Where I live (& my dog, Mac)

                                                    

December 5, 2003

Additional photos have been added to the soldiers photos pages; Clarence McAllister has added the photos of Col. Patterson & John Kaltenbaugh Staff & Co A-H respectively.  We are working to get the full photo of Col. Patterson and an article written by Bill Phillis; next on the list for new additions.  We were invited to have a link to our website placed on the Greater Pittsburgh Civil War Round Table website:  http://www.grpghcwrt.org/  We in turn have posted a link to their site from Our Favorites page. Their website is very informative and for those who live in the greater Pittsburgh area, there are some interesting events on their schedule as well as links to other interesting Civil War websites.

 

December 4, 2003

J. B. Martin's 1862 diary is now completed and the entire diary is available in it's new format. The letter written by Isaac N. Hays is also back on the site. Look for the link on the index page or the Our Civil War Ancestors table of contents page.  We have also begun to publish some news articles from various sources, so keep coming back as we will be posting these articles frequently.  Most of these articles are being gleaned from the CD-Rom series from "News of the Day" 1806-1901 a series collected and produced on CD for the Butler County Library and Butler County Historical Society. The information from these articles and pertaining to the Civil War is a unique source, and likely not found elsewhere on paper.   If you have, or have knowledge of any articles of interest, please contact us by email or snail mail.  We welcome all contributions of information.

Not much new today - except -the diary of J. B. Martin is very near  completion with the new format.  I have been posting the new and deleting the old as each month is added.  Only one more month to go and that should be posted by tomorrow.  I think the new format is easier to read and I think (I hope) eliminated the pictures over text problem.  Please let me know if it persists.    A Butler Co. news article came my way from a friend in Pa. via email .  It is especially interesting to those of us who have roots in the Butler Co. area.  When or what paper it was printed is not known.  However, some time last year I purchased a set of CDs of old newspaper articles and perhaps I can locate the origin of the article we just posted.   We have also been busy cleaning up some of the pages that were not working well or flawed in some way, hopefully for easier reading and navigation.  Hope everyone had a peaceful Thanksgiving. 

November 19, 2003

More photographs of the Pa. 102nd Soldiers have been posted since the last update.  There are more to be published soon.  Also we will soon be posting information regarding Col. John Williams Patterson.  An article regarding the death of the Colonel, May 5, 1864,  has been published in the Wilderness Dispatch and was written by Bill Phillis.  Bill has generously allowed us to publish this article as well as photographs of Colonel Patterson and the original wooden grave marker, that is now on display at the Chancellorsville Visitor center.  We will provide additional information regarding the article and how a copy may be obtained.   The Pa. 102nd rosters are also being posted.   We have recently ended with a partial roster of Co D, but will be adding more within the week.    You all have probably noticed that some of the pages of J. B. Martin's 1864 diary are either missing, (the month of April) or the text is covered by a picture.  I am working to correct all of these errors very soon.
