I found william and marys story by following my great grand mothers journal from wayne county to grant co. THe baldwins and the shugarts were part of the abolitionist wuaker meeting. Iwas following a trail from town and found my self standing at a graqssey ravine and the closesxt place a station could have been was about a quarter mile across the fields. Idrove their introducrd my self and a few hours later i was looking at zerox copies of the letters intotal. Iwill have to e-mail you my intro. how i got the journal was even more interesting. Iam presently working with the masons from the jonesboroug lodge, If you did not catch williams hints he is a mason. So was franz siegel the general he body guarded. He tells the wife he is now associated with the sutler for the 117th Ill infantry. He is an officer and gets involved with the federal experiment with freed labor ran by major general lorenzo Thomas. So perhaps i was blessed to be given the letters from his cousin in his widows house.

my e-mail is gaggleone@yahoo.com on the weekends my phone number is 702-581-4070.

nice to knoe i am not the only one curious about william.
