Hello There Alex,
Thank you for your reply. I had found all three of those Ancestry Civil War records that you mentioned. I really suspect that they are all the same as my three guys. I have sent off to the National Arcives for Hirum G. Chase's Military records. ( I am praying that this is indeed my Horace Chase!! Our family has only known that his name was Horace Chase and that he was supposed to be from Rhode Island. Nothing known about his parents.) So if it is him and it lists his mother and father, it will be like hitting a gold mine. I, too, am intrigued with how in the world did a "Yankee" end up marrying a "Southern Belle" just 6 years after the end of the Civil War!!! I sure wish I knew more. I do not have any picture of Horace and no family members seem to have any of him. I do have a picture of his wife and some of their children taken probably shortly after the death of Horace.....Another question, if Horace was from Rhode Island, why would he be signing up in Maine?
As for Eli J. and Wiliam J. M Gardner. I am looking for more info on them. I have been trying to track them thru the censuses. I think Eli died in the war...where I am not sure. I can't find William on the 1870 census, (his father William M Gardner is in Fort Gaines , Clay County , Georgia then. I have tracked most of his other siblings, but can't find him in 1870. I did find a marriage record for him in about 1873 and in Georgia in 1880. Very strange.
Do you send to the National Arcives for Confederate Military records, or do you send for them from the State that they served?
Are you related to the Gardner or the Chase family?
Thanks for the note and would love any insight, information, or ideas that you might have to offer.
