Re: Sgt Shelton James Brown Co C 5th Inf. Regt

Thanx george, Allan, and Jim so far him and Towner Boutwell are the highest ranked kin i have found, both sargents, SJ Brown was not on the MS confederate graves registry, neither was Elijah Nicholson. Almost all are infantry except for samuel horace overstreet "Cavalry". I have sent in the info for both to be added. Boy when i first started this it took me awhile to find one confederate soldier, now I'm somewhere around the 13th that i could claim to join the scv. I went in under John squire Waller, collaterly "Uncle" but have since found these 2 grandfathers.

If u count kin as cousins an such, I would be around 19 with a few union soldiers to boot, I have also found john duvall or devoel war of 1812, John waller sr revolutionary war with papers on file with the sar. Capt nathaniel waller Maryland state militia "grandfather" revolutionary war. Charles waller wrote a book on my waller line and reaserched it for over 50 years. 2 books matter of fact. "The Cheasapekers" and "Wallers of America". Another book written by Patrick Moran "morans exodus from offily" also details the waller line. seems we were once Norsemen think i spelled that right! lol! who fought with william the conqurer. Seems there was what was called Wallers plot, to overthrow the king of England, they hopped on a ship to America to save there necks, Looks like they have fought in every war in America since.

This genology thing has directed me to where i get my fighting spirit for sure. Looks like a combination of Waller, Cooley, Overstreet men in my line were some men who fought for what they believed. I appreciate yalls help i got several more lines to run yet, so im sure we will meet again.
