Contrabands and Freedmen's Cemetery Memorial Contrabands and Freedmen’s Cemetery Memorial Design Competition 2008 The following list is taken from the book Alexandria, Virginia Death Records, 1863-1868 (The Gladwin Record) and 1869-1896 by Wesley E. Pippenger and published by Willow Bend Books of Westminster, Maryland. It is reproduced here with their very generous permission. Discovered by Wes Pippenger at the Library of Virginia, this document is generally referred to as the Gladwin Record. While certainly begun in March 1863 by Superintendent of Contrabands Rev. Albert Gladwin, the record continued to be maintained by his successors and by the local offi ce of the Freedmen’s Bureau until January 1869. Entries include name; date of the report of death or burial (which roughly correspond to the death date); age; next of kin or person making the report; residence or place of death, or both (presumably, the locations were usually one and the same); and additional comments about burial or cause of death. Ideally, each entry would include all such data, but oft en some information was not supplied. Mr. Pippenger has reorganized the chronological list into alphabetical order. The published information has here been further edited. Mr. Pippenger faithfully transcribed personal names and place names verbatim. Here, however, originally misspelled street names have been corrected, and most abbreviations have been spelled out to assist those who may not be familiar with Alexandria. Several names and associated data have been added, based upon the information contained in an 1865 memorandum book probably kept by Capt. James Ferree and now contained in the National Archives and Records Administration, Record Group 105, Records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Entry 3878. Minor edits of the entries relating to soldiers’ deaths at L’Ouverture Hospital have been informed by The Roll of Honor. Names of Soldiers, Victims of the Rebellion, Buried in the National Cemetery at Alexandria, Virginia (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Offi ce, 1866) and by Edward A. Miller, Jr.’s article “Volunteers for Freedom: Black Civil War Soldiers in Alexandria National Cemetery, Part II” in Historic Alexandria Quarterly, Winter 1998. The list commences in March 1863, nearly halfway through the Civil War. As a consequence, it does not include the deaths of all the “Contrabands” in Alexandria. At least 1,200 African Americans has perished in the immediate vicinity of Alexandria between the beginning of the war and the establishment of Freedmen’s Cemetery. Therefore, while it is not complete, the list contains entries for many individuals who died before the cemetery opened. Most of these were interred at Penny Hill, Alexandria’s public cemetery. The entries in bold are for individuals who were not, or almost certainly not, buried in Freedmen’s Cemetery. The entries in italics are soldiers who were fi rst buried in Freedmen’s Cemetery and re-interred in Alexandria National Cemetery. There are a couple of entries for soldiers which are marked by asterisks (*); these indicate soldiers who were buried in Freedmen’s Cemetery for which there is no known record of re-interment in Alexandria National Cemetery. They may yet lie in Freedmen’s Cemetery because of a bureaucratic error, or perhaps they are among the unknowns in the National Cemetery. Lett ers, words or numbers which are underlined indicate spellings which Mr. Pippenger considered questionable or representing possible mistakes, omissions, etc. ABBOTT, Laura, 27 SEP 1864, 10y, Princess St. bet.

    Reconsidering the Immigration Story of President Woodrow Wilson’s Paternal Grandparents By Erick Montgomery Accounts of James Wilson and his wife specify different origins in the North of Ireland, imply varying dates, and disagree on other details. Which facts hold up to today’s standards? uccessive biographers refine and reinterpret American presidential histories. They may repeat incorrect information, including ancestry, Swithout revisiting documentation, using today’s research technologies, or applying modern genealogy standards. This was the case with stories of President Woodrow Wilson’s paternal ancestry. The president’s grandfather, James Wilson of Steubenville, Ohio, was born on 20 February 1787 and died on 17 October 1850.1 He was a newspaper publisher, Whig politician, successful businessman, and abolitionist.2 His wife, Ann (Adams) Wilson, born on 29 December 1791, died at her daughter Elizabeth Begges’s home in Cleveland, Ohio, on 6 September 1863.3 TRADITIONAL REPORTS Accounts of James Wilson and his wife specify conflicting origins in the North of Ireland, imply varying dates, and disagree on other details.

JAN RUDZEWICZ DEACON THOMAS MARTIN Secretary: LINO POBLETE www.olgcsanleandro.com RADICAL TRANSFORMATION On this Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, the readings describe anything but an ordinary time. They are disturbing and they leave us disturbed. The Old Testament reading recounts a young man’s radi- cal break with the past to follow a new path. The Gospel describes how life as we know it is abruptly changed if we follow the call of Christ. The psalm and Paul assure us that such life-altering change is possible only because of the power of God’s love. We are presented with a stark choice. To love as God loves, we must leave our old lives behind. We must leave behind not just the bad, the selfish, and the evil but the ordi- nary, our daily work, and the important, our families, our lives. Loving as God loves requires a radical transformation, not a smooth transition.
