Reply #69: North married South [View All]

Dad was Virginia and my mom was Wisconsin. Neither liked it where they were from. We moved about three times as they fought over where they were going to live. I was always the new kid. If I'm alittle twisted, that's why.

And the connections I know about in the Civil War:

1. We have one letter written by the wife of a Confederate soldier, talking about how she went behind enemy lines to find her husband, and a very nice Union officer made her go back.

So one would think there is also a Confederate soldier in the fam as well.

2. One doll that was used to smuggle messages across enemy (Union) lines.

3. A great, great, great (not sure how many greats) grandmother who was adopted into a family who owned the warehouse that was eventually turned into a not very nice prison for Union soldiers called Libby prison.
