Hotnes. I think this surnae should be Holmes.

Soldier's name here was "James A. Williams." See his "Volunteer Enlistment" document with identical info, e.g., occupation as "boatman." However, "Where born" is incorrect on this page 4 and is corrected later and on the "Volunteer Enlistment" document as "Madison."

James A. Williams, Co. H. of this images does NOT match the James A. Williams, Company I, of the other frames. On Company Muster Rolls for "Mar & Apl" and "May & June" 1865, JAW, Company I, was "Detached as Teamster per S.O. No. 9, 25th A.C., Jany 9 '65." JAW is named as one of the "Colored Soldiers" from North Castle, Westchester County, NY, in Scharf's County History, Vol. II, p. 636. He served with 16 other black men from that area, referred to as the "Negro" community of "The Hills." ...more

Simeon A. Tierce's birthplace should read Harrison, NY, not "Morrison." Also, although his surname is spelled correctly on this Company Descriptive Book, it is recorded incorrectly in fold3's file title, as Teirce. However, the spelling on his "Carded Record" is correct. Also, Simeon apprears on the list again, correctly as Simeon A. Tierce but without documents in the filmstrip, as they are misplaced here. Please correct, if possible. quinneNYhills ...more
