i had ONE ancestor who (GASP!) rode/fought with a yankee/KS-jayhawker unit during the war.
a LOT of my family not only won't talk about him BUT also some of the family deny he was ever ALIVE.
the same will VERY likely be true of your descendants, come dixie LIBERTY.
btw, Harvey W. was the ONLY one who was a turncoat; the other 13 lads were PURE REBEL.
btw, the HATRED exposed on the other thread is the REAL REASON that the war will never end until dixie is FREE.
free dixie,sw
My family came here in the 20th century, so we're not going find any of my ancestors in either the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.
We have no records of any member of my husband's family fighting with either side in the Civil War, just the Revolution. However, with a slight spelling change (apparently common in his family) his last name is a rather prominent name in some parts of Virginia. So one never knows.
