CIVIL WAR

This issue is a touchy subject to some.  My ancestors fought on both sides and I'm proud of all my Civil War heritage.  The North and South were both wrong.  It was wrong for the South to enslave black men, women, and children.  It was wrong for the North to enslave southern men, women, and children.  All who fought thought they were doing what was right for their respective states and countries.  Here is what I know, so far, concerning family Civil War history:

Stillman Young - 1st WV Light Artillery (Union)

John Josiah Eakin - 28th Virginia Infrantry (CSA)

INTERESTING FAMILY FACTS
