I see that your ancestors come from what is now WV and some of them close to my roots. My grandfather was a Baker from Kanawha Counthy. I had a great uncle who owned a grocery store in Hurrican, WV. There was also a Vernon (an other great uncle). I have been unable to trace any of my Baker lineage. Maybe I will use the information I have gotten from your article to do a little more digging. Ms. Baker.

I have Harless cousins but do not know if they are related to your Harlesses. I'm also from WV but from the northern panhandle. I have not lived there for 50 years or so. My great-great grandfather enlisted in the Union army but because of the severe marches was given a medical discharge after eight months. I have done all my research on the internet but I did get a copy of his military service records from the National Archives. Thanks for a very interesting story.

As I was reading some of the names sounded familiar to me. So I pulled out my family history info from my mom's side of the family. I had a great great grandfather by the name of James Madison Perry. It turns out that your Andrew Jackson Perry and my James Madison Perry were first cousins.They shared a grandfather by the name of Joseph Benjamin Franklin Perry.They must have been a very patriotic bunch.I'm afraid I don't have much info on the Perrys.The oldest being James Perry born abt.1669.The accuracy is unnown,most of my info comes from geneology sites.I would be happy to share any info I have though, reply to this e-mail if interested.

Perhaps in no other state was the term "brother against brother" more true than in Kentucky. I have traced three maternal great great grand uncles to the Civil War. Two wore Grey and one wore Blue. They met on several battlefields, including the Battle of Murfreesboro where Uncle Lance was wounded and later died from his wounds. The other two returned to Kentucky after the War. No family stories exist as to whether they ever forgave and forgot. Regards, Robert Ms. Baker, Thanks for a very interesting and informative article on tracing genealogy during the Civil War.
