alt: Hello daviss, I'll be here when you get back LOL

daviss: lol hi there alt!

alt: Howdy pardner... wanna buy an IPad? LOL

daviss: I was just reading your response to 3rd lol lol @ IPAD I was thinking, that they could actually be brothers

alt: Yeah, trying to follow 3rd's posting and the best I could come up with was a possible misstatement as to the parents of the two, or one individual

daviss: did you catch the ages at death

alt: yep, that's a possibility also no, there was too much there too read, I must have missed the age remarks.

daviss: I have two uncle James. One by first wife and one by second on 3rd they were 4 or 5 yrs apart on births and at least 10 yrs on deaths

alt: Yep, that happens... children being given the same first name, but often with different middle names.... look at George Foreman (sp) and his 6-7 okay, I missed that daviss

daviss: yep and as a side note regarding George lol his property that he bought for the training camp is right next to my gggrands in Marshall and his birth name is not Forman just raised by his stepfather

alt: I'm having some questions on the guy whose g-grandfather served in both the Confederate & Union Army.... It's a great story and I would like to hear his response to some questions.... no argument, just curious

3rdthawkins: never heard that term before interesting

daviss: learn something new everyday 3rd lol

alt: we've got a lot of swarthy folks in our family LOL

AYWalton: a man who worked in the fields--a farmer to me would have a swarthy appearance.

3rdthawkins: yep, hangin' with you all )

daviss: construction workers

alt: 3rdthawkins, you saw my response to your post on the States Forum?

AYWalton: I think the term would include white folks, light skinned black folks as well. Yes construction workers, sailors or stevedores, etc.

3rdthawkins: lol alt I hear ya, same on my dad's side

daviss: cowboys

3rdthawkins: not yet alt, just got in from D.C., was there for the weekend,

Seventies Soulchild: The question is, what did it mean in 1860 - 1865? This relates to Jan's post in "Myth of AfricanAmerican Confederate Soldier".

3rdthawkins: actually was in MD, but spent the night in D.C. hotel because of the rain

alt: okay, I just put it up bout 1/2 hour ago

3rdthawkins: ok, Im gonna go check it out now

Seventies Soulchild: I also got to check out the blog "Finding Agnes"

alt: Seventies Soulchild, I'm asking .. did he go into the confederate army as an African American, or was he mistaken for a white guy? hello Selma

AYWalton: Howdy Ms. Selma!

ProfDru: hello selma

Seventies Soulchild: oh ok. Well maybe Jan will respond back with an answer.

alt: he was obviously seen as a black man or he wouldn't have been an enlisted man in the USCT.

3rdthawkins: ok alt, yeah, I agree with that, the one with Joe Cummings has the wrong parents, Allen has the right one I believe

Selma: Afternoon everyone

alt: and the "myth" is not about the onesy-twosy's as Bennie often says, but about the thousands of black confederates who served in an 'integrated' confederate army.

daviss: I would love to know the name of the soldier

Seventies Soulchild: LOL I am running on auto pilot here.. I just read what I typed.. lol

alt: me too daviss

AYWalton: greetings, VKN!

ProfDru: hello vkn

vkn: Greetings to each and all

Seventies Soulchild: right, how the truth is bent into being made a lie. gotcha alt.

3rdthawkins: right alt, there's always exceptions to the rule, but the majority of the time you won't get AA's serving as Confederates

alt: hello vkn.... wanna buy an IPad? lol

Seventies Soulchild: hi vkn

3rdthawkins: hey vkn

AYWalton: lol @ alt!!!

Seventies Soulchild: hey fierybug08

vkn: Another potential resource for 1866 Alabama census http://www.afrigeneas.com/aacensus/al/1860calhoun.html Howdy fiery

fierybug08: hello everyone. Virtual wave to Seventies Soulchild vkn daviss AYWalton alt ProfDru Selma 3rd

ProfDru: virtually waving back to ya, fierybug

AYWalton: hope all is well fierybug!

fierybug08: everything is good. just a little rain, but all is well

daviss: was his slaveholder Bowdry

Selma: Hi fiery..

alt: yes he was daviss

fierybug08: haven't seen you in a while Selma. How are you?

Selma: Doing OK fiery

vkn: good to hear selma

3rdthawkins: ok alt, I responded to the post, I agree, the uncle-by-marriage confused his wife's cousin with his wife's nephew of the same name. His daughter was informant on one, that is her mother's brother, and she was informant on her mother's DC and correctly stated the parents. So now I can put the right Joe with the right family. Thanks

alt: glad I could help 3rdthawkins

3rdthawkins: I should say he confused his wife's cousin with his wife's brother

AYWalton: going to run, folks. Have a good one!

3rdthawkins: lol

fierybug08: me too lol

daviss: me too alt lol

Selma: So on the Confederate soldier..was he Free, since they say he wasn't a slave?

fierybug08: thank goodness for transcripts

3rdthawkins: now you know I how felt lol lol

vkn: Did you see the "slavery" game posted in TheGriot this morning if so what do you think about it ?

daviss: dunno Selma,

alt: that was another question I asked him Selma.. were these folks listed in the census prior to the CW as FPOC's?

Seventies Soulchild: Who knows. You know it has come to my attention that people post on public message boards just to stir up controversy.

daviss: hoax in my opinion vkn

3rdthawkins: she didn't say much Seventies, she just threw out one little fact or whatever, and never really showed she studied it

alt: this guy has made this claim on the boards before Seventies Soulchild, but you could be right, even they he stated his post was 'not to start a debate'

3rdthawkins: no one's saying it can't happen and that it's impossible, but it's not likely

ProfDru: gotta run

Seventies Soulchild: I don't read the Griot or the Root. All of it is just 'black face' white words.

vkn: Well I have a "Confederate" in my tree and he is posted on the wall at the memorial in DC Name is BUSH

Seventies Soulchild: Interesting vkn

alt: I know vkn.. and we know there are exceptions... did he serve as a 'soldier' in both the Union and Confederate Army, or was he an 'impressed confederate' and not a 'soldier'

Selma: Sure got quiet.. LOL

Seventies Soulchild: yep

daviss: I was waiting lol

alt: folks be thinking Selma

Seventies Soulchild: Anyway, ok well last night I was on genealogywise and saw how they did their nightly chats. it was interesting.
