I'd like to participate, perhaps work to document my relatives' roles. I've hardly begun on the uncles who didn't survive to have descendants. Quartermaster Genl Meigs is my 3rd ggf, Jefferson Davis' 1st wife Sarah Knox Taylor my 1C4R. My ggm (whom I remember) was semi-orphaned at age 2 when her father died of unrecovered health and wounds although he had been discharged. During those 2 years her mother died and her father married his sister-in-law. I haven't found anything on his service record. The wives are Mayflower Hopkins+Brewster descendants as well as I can determine. Supreme Court Justice McLean, author of the dissent on Dred Scott, my 4th ggf, died early in the war. His grandparents aren't known confidently. He had grandsons on both sides. Two opposed brothers who survived were buried together in what became Zachary Taylor (Sarah's father) national cemetery. How many CSA veterans are buried in US national cemeteries? Another ggm, whom I met just before she passed away, was mentally back in 1916 and used accordingly racist talk, in spite of being daughter and granddaughter of Union officers who advocated freeing all enslaved people from captured territory. She was also 4C1R to Robt E Lee. A 2nd ggf, W R Alger, was a well known abolitionist and chaplain to Massachusetts General Court (legislature). Yet another 2nd ggf met his 2nd wife as both worked on underground railroad. That may be beyond the remit of this project.
