ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PUBLISHED-1952 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATE.S OF AMERICA. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND THANKS Family histories are never finished, and though this one was started more than forty years ago, it is still unfinished, and has many omissions, and perhaps mistakes, but may serve to inspire members of the family to send in data they may have, which will help to complete the record. Thou­ sands of letters have been written, in preparation of this history, many trips made to far away inaccessible places and cemeteries, and hundreds of interviews held with in­ terested people. Court Records have been searched, old wills read, and Bible Records unearthed which had been forgot­ ten for generations. Some letters have been answered promptly, with accurate information, while others have failed to reply or if they did reply, gave meager data. To those of you who have been gracious in your replies, and generous in sending in your family records, the Author is eternally grateful, but it is to your own descendants that you have made this contribution of time and effort, and it is a tribute we all should pay to those worthy ancestors of ours who paved the way for our liberty, our prosperity and our happiness. It would be impossible to mention all of the people who have made this history possible, but my deepest debt of gratitude is due to Eleanor Davis McSwain, and her husband, Horace L.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Dr. Benjamin Rush's Journal of a Trip to Carlisle in 1784 YOU know I love to be in the way of adding to my stock of ideas upon all subjects," Benjamin Rush observed to his wife in a letter of 1787. An insatiable gatherer and recorder of facts and observations, Rush kept journals throughout his life—some continuously over many years, like his Commonplace Books recently edited by Dr. George W. Corner as part of Rush's Autobiography; others for brief periods or for special purposes, like his "Quack Recipe Book" in the Library Company of Philadelphia, his Scottish journal in the Indiana University Library, and the present little diary of a journey from Philadelphia to Carlisle and return in April, 1784. This diary consists of twenty-three duodecimo pages stitched at one edge, and is written entirely in Rush's hand. Owned by a suc- cession of Rush's descendants, it at length came to light in the sale of the Alexander Biddle Papers at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York in 1943. (It will be found listed in the Biddle Sale Cata- logue, Part I, lot 219.) It was then purchased by the late Josiah C. Trent, M.D., of Durham, North Carolina, who, when he learned that the present writer was investigating Rush's part in the founding of Dickinson College at Carlisle, very kindly furnished a photostatic 443 444 L.

    VOL.

Founded in 1846 it covers 86 acres and is the burial spot of more than 60,000 with veterans from the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf War. More Civil War veterans are buried there, over 635, than any single cemetery in the state of Michigan. The list includes 28 generals, 2 Medal of Honor winners, and oddly 2 Confederates. It also includes the first Michigan soldier wounded in the Civil War and the doctor who attended him. This month’s presentation is entitled, “Civil War Heroes Remembered at Elmwood Cemetery.” Our guest speaker, Chancey Miller, is the General Manager of Elmwood, having been there since 1990.

This concern-over securing one's distinct spot in history-was widely and deeply felt among the key Founders of the Republic.

Culp’s Hill: Key to Union Success at Gettysburg Abstract Brigadier General George S. Greene’s position on Culp’s Hill during the Battle of Gettysburg is arguably the crucial lynchpin of July 2, 1863. Had this position at the barb of the fishhook defensive line fallen, Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his army would then have been positioned to take Cemetery Hill, thus breaking the curve of the hook on the Union right. This most likely would have sent the Union into retreat, leaving the direct route to Washington unguarded. Fortunately, valiant efforts were made by men like Generals George S. Greene and Henry H. Lockwood in order to preserve the Union Army’s possession of the hill and, as a result, preserve the Union itself. While leaders distinguished themselves during the Battle of Gettysburg with exceptional decision-making and ingenuity, the battle for ulpC ’s Hill also embodied the personal cost these decisions made, as evidenced by the experience of Marylanders who literally fought their neighbors.

  • General George Doles' Georgia Brigade on July 1
    “We sleep here in obedience to law; when duty called we came, when country called we died.” General George Doles’ Georgia Brigade on July 1 Matt Atkinson July 1, 1863, 2:00 P.M.: The sporadic crack of rifles and the booming of artillery reverberated across the plain and beyond the tree line in front of the Georgians who comprised the brigade led by Brigadier General George Doles. As the soldiers sought to assuage their sore feet and dry throats, there must have been reflection on the prior two years of sanguinary conflict. So many lives lost, so many close calls for the survivors. Now here they were, after all this marching, face to face once again with their familiar foe. Maybe this battle would be the last. Maybe this battle would gain their country’s independence. Maybe after this battle, they could go home. Collectively, the four regiments comprising Doles’ brigade, the 4th, 44th, 12th, and 21st Georgia, had seen much combat prior to the Army of Northern Virginia’s march onto the fields of Gettysburg. The 4th Georgia was organized in 1861 under the command of then-Colonel Doles to defend the nascent Confederacy. From 1861 to 1863, the regiment served consecutively in the brigades of Albert G. Blanchard, Ambrose Wright, and Roswell Ripley and participated in the battles of Seven Days (Malvern Hill), Sharpsburg (Miller’s Cornfield), and Fredericksburg.1 At Gettysburg, the 4th Georgia would be under the command of Lt. Col. David R. E. Winn. Winn, a native of Americus, Georgia, began his military career as a first lieutenant in the Confederate army and rose through the ranks to lieutenant colonel by November 1862.
