A little story from "A History of Relay, Maryland and The Thomas Viaduct" by Daniel Carroll Toomey- pg 22-(toomey pres@aol.com)  "While on duty at Relay, a number of Union solders were killed or injured in railroad accidents.  William McDonald (from Ogdensburg NY), of Company E, Sixtieth New York Volunteers, was walking guard duty one night when he felt ill and sat down on the track to regain his composure.  He fainted, falling in such a way as to leave one leg on the track.  When a New York Express came through, it stuck the unfortunate soldier causing him to lose his leg below the knee but not his life.

Greene at Culp's Hill, Gettysburg:

http://www.137thny.com/greene_on_culp.htm

"George Sears Greene (May 6, 1801 January 28, 1899) was a civil engineer and a Union general during the American Civil War. He was part of the Greene family of Rhode Island, which had a distinguished military record for the United States. His greatest contribution during the war was his defense of the Union right flank at Culp's Hill during the Battle of Gettysburg.

 As a civilian, he was a founder of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Architects and was responsible for numerous railroads and aqueduct construction projects in the northeastern United States. Greene built railroads in six states and designed municipal sewage and water systems for Washington, D.C., Detroit, and several other cities. In New York City, he designed the Croton Aqueduct reservoir in Central Park and the enlarged High Bridge over the Harlem River. "  Note that Leffert Buck also worked on the Croton Aqueduct.

Brevet Brigadier General. He enlisted as a private in the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry in August of 1861 and spent the next few months guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in Maryland. By 1865, he had gained the rank of colonel of his regiment. He participated in campaigns in Virginia and Maryland and was severely wounded at Chancellorsville. Beginning in February of 1864, he participated in all of the battles of General Sherman's campaign from Chattanooga to Raleigh. As assistant adjutant-general, he received the surrender of the city of Savannah from Mayor Arnold and was the first officer to enter that city at the head of his own regiment. At the conclusion of the war, he was breveted brigadier general "for gallant and meritorious services in the campaign under General Sherman, resulting in the fall of Atlanta." He later administered the Soldiers' Home in Albany, New York. In 1867, he moved to Bozeman in Montana territory to join his brother in the mercantile business. (bio by: Thomas Fisher)

STEPHENSON, Col. William 1817-1906 Ellen his wife 1823-1896  

  • From Rootsweb:
  • Name: William STEPHENSON
  • Sex: M
  • Birth: 25 Dec 1817 in Antrim County, Ireland
  • Death: 11 Apr 1906 in Belleville Cemetery, Russel, NY
  • Note:
    The following was written by William Stephenson in a letter:

    I was born in County Antrim, Ireland in the year 1817, December 25th. My father’s name was Robert Stephenson, my mother’s maiden name Rachel Hutchinson. My father had a cousin by the name of Wm. Martin, a merchant and distiller living in Edwards, N.Y., he advised my father to send me to him. So in the year 1832, I being between 14 and 15 years of age. I sailed from Belfast, Ireland in the ship 'Thomas Galson" for America. There were 500 passengers on board and I being the only boy among them became a great favorite with the sailors who did all they could to make the voyage a pleasant one for me. Two weeks after the vessel sailed from Belfast, the Asiatic cholera broke out on board and thirty-six of the passengers were consigned to watery graves. We were five weeks and three days on the ocean when the vessel landed at Quebec. When I reached Prescott the cholera was raging there also and there was no way to get to Ogdensburg. Finally I found a man who took pity on me and put me across the river in a rowboat. We landed opposite a large stone house occupied by Benjamin Nevin. I stayed over Sunday with a man by the name of Fuller. On Monday morning he sent his son to guide me through the woods. I then reached Gouverneur, where I found a man by the name of Thomas Grant, who had come with a team to take me to Edwards. There I became a clerk in my cousins store and made that place my home for six years. When there was a regiment of the State Militia formed in this country, I was chosen Captain of one of the Companies, was after appointed Colonel of the 33rd Regiment. (Note, from Stan Maine, the 33rd Militia was the core of the 60th regiment NYS Volunteers)  Soon after the commencement of the Civil War, in company with the Hon. Wm. Wheeler and Hon. A. B. James, I helped to raise three full regiments in St. Lawrence County. When it became necessary to raise men by the draft the Secretary of War appointed me Commissioner to superintend the draft in St. Law. and Franklin counties. I was a resident of the town of Russell for 50 years, assessor 9 years, commissioner of highways 5 years, and supervisor one term. As many young men do after leaving school, I was married choosing for my companion, Miss Helen Watson. To us were born 12 children, six sons and six daughters, of whom 8 are still living. After my wife and I had lived together for 57 years, God took her from me, and I am now awaiting that happy day when we shall again be united in death as in life, one.
