I have done more research on Bishop Timon recently only to find out as Vincentian Visitor he was heavily involved with slavery especially at the Vincentian seminary at Perryville, Missouri. It seems his appointment to Buffalo was a very freeing experience after eleven years trying to cope with the complications of balancing Catholic doctrine, state law, and  passive aggressive behaviors of his slaves.

Fascinating, Bill. How did clerics balance what seems the clear immorality of slavery with collaboration of the South's slavocracy?

Me Great Grand Father served in the 35th Indiana Volunteers(1st Irish), but I found out a day ago he originally signed up with the 61st (2nd Irish) but lacking numbers, they were incorporated into the 1st Irish.  Looking for anything at all about the 61st, anything please.

You've seen this, I hope, John: http://thewildgeese.irish/profiles/blogs/the-35th-indiana-hoosier-s... Try contacting the author. Hey Joe Gannon, didn't we have an article in WG 1 about Father Peter Paul Cooney, by a reenactor acquaintance of ours from Indiana? Is that on WG 2?

Joined because in researching family history, this "yankee" boy (now 74) finds that his Yankee (stretching the term here) side had one uncle drafted who reported to Fort Snelling, Minnesota only to find out the war was over.  

The Norwegians called native born whites "Yankees".   My Southern side is so full of Confederates that it is beyond comprehension!   That aside, I find Viking roots in both sides!
