| 6730 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): At the beginning of the civil war April 1861, Frederick and Benjamin were living in Leon Iowa. By the summer of 1862 they had decided to serve the Union cause and both enlisted in a new unit , I company 34th Iowa. They trained at Burlington, Iowa and in October the unit passed muster i.e. or were accepted for Federal service. The regiment sailed on the Mississippi river to Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis Mo. Over the next few weeks a measles epidemic killed every ninth man in the regiment, followed by pneumonia which killed one man in seven. In December 1862 the regiment sailed to Helena, Arkansas, where a smallpox epidemic incapacited or killed one man in six, while the men remained aboard ship for three weeks. The survivors were assigned to Thayer's Brigrade, Steele's Division, Sherman's Corp, Grants Command and on 27 December entered the lines at Chickasaw Bayou (Chickasaw Bluff). For three days they lay under artillery fire and thunder storms and then charged the enemy across a half mile of open prarie in the face of artillery fire and rifle fire from Confederate skirmishers hiding in several ravines. Reaching the bluffs, they attempted to climb them under enemy fire but failed and with nightfall withdrew. At the close of battle one man in five from the Regiment had been killed or wounded. On the 10th of January 1863 the regiment attacked Arkansas Post, coming to within 150 yards of the Confederate line. Remaining there all night they attacked the following day and engaged tthe Confederates in hand to hand combat.Eventually the Confederates surrendered. This battle cost the regiment one man in four. The regiment was detailed to guard 5000 prisoners aboard ship, and took two weeks to sail to St. Louis, and a further two weeks to reach Chicago. The regiment then returned to Jefferson Barracks, Mo. In time for a smallpox outbreak. Frederick was layed low by this disease and on the 19th of March 1863, was discharged as completely disabled. Benjamin remained with the regiment, which was down to 240 men from it's original 1100, and in June sailed to Vicksburg, entering the trenches, with Herron's Division, on the 15th and spending 19 days under sniper and artillery fire and patrol actions. On the morning of the 4th of July a small group of Confederates attempted to capture a Federal cannon, located 3 miles due south of the center of Vicksburg. Several of the Iowans, including Benjamin ran into "no mans land" and fought the confederates hand to hand. They saved the gun, it cost four dead and five wounded, including Benjamin, whose wounds were severe. A few minutes later the entire Confederate Army at Vicksburg, 30,000 men, surrendered. Benjamin was taken by ship to the hospital at Jefferson Barracks, were he died on 27 August,1863. He is buried in section 33,grave 34 at Jefferson Barracks cemetary, St. Louis, Missouri. Vicksburg was the turning point of the war and Benjamin was possibly the last Union soldier to be killed there, in as much as the surrender took place immediatly afterward, at 10:00 am. | Jenkins, Benjamin F. (I22708)
|
| 6731 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): Benjamin served during the French and Indian War, Pontiac rebellion, and the Regulator revolt(for above see Henry H Sharp).

He fought at Moore's Creek Feb 1776, Charleston June 1776, raided Florida in 1776, which had not joined the Patriot cause, wintered with George Washington at Valley Forge, fought at Monmouth June 1778 and Briar Creek April 1779, was chased out of N.C. later that year, and in 1780 was beseiged in Charlseton for 37 days. Taken prisoner there he was held in a British Prison Ship for 3 years, which were rotting, rat infested, stench filled gloomy hulks. | Sharp, Benjamin (I24192)

| 6733 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): Born Jan Wieler, Sweden 1631, as a boy he immigrated with his parents to New Sweden. Possibly his father wanted to escape miltary service during the terrible war in Europe 1618-48 in which Sweden played a prominent part. However when Jan was 17 war broke out with the Dutch of New Amsterdam. Jan served as a soldier in the following battles: Fort Beversrede 1648, Fort Casimir 1653 & 55, and Fort Christina 1655. The Swedes lost the war. In 1659 Jan refused to live under Dutch rule any l longer and moved to English territory, Charles Co. Maryland. In 1664 the English conquered the Dutch colonies. New Amsterdam was renamed New York , New Sweden was renamed New Jersey. In 1676 John Wheeler, as he was now known, was commissioned an officer in the Maryland militia to fight the Conestoga and the Susquehanna. Following this victory he fought in the Bacon rebellion when he helped lead an invasion of Virginia, capturing Jamestown, however the Marylanders were soon defeated and forced to evacuate by ship to Maryland. John remained in the militia achieving the rank of major in 1680. Died in 1694. | WHEELER, John (I24292)

| 6735 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): David Eveland (Da-feet Ayfa-lont) was born in Germany in 1690. As his home land was devestated by wars 1689-97 and 1702-13, no explanation was needed why he and his wife immigrated to America by 1718 | Eveland, David (I24010)
|
| 6736 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): Due to the Age of Patsey C. she is probably not the child of Temperance & Charles, but either a relative or possibly an orphan.

|
| 6737 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): During the first 11 yrs of his life he witnessed several armys cross his home land in warfare. Following this devestation he and other relatives immigrated to America to a German community in Berkshire County,Penn. In the 1740's he and family moved to western Penn. In 1754 this area came under attack by several indian tribes and French(see Henry H Sharp). Tho' in his 50's he would have to defend his home and neighboring homes. In 1763 the war ended. However the indians suddenly attacked again wiping out the towns of Venango, Presque Isle, and LeBoeuf. He and his family managed to survive by fleeing to Ft. Pitt named after the current Prime Minister William Pitt. Following the defeat of the indians, the English Government ordered all settlers to evacuate the region. John Graves as he was now calling himself took his family along the Western Indian Trail that led from Penn to N.C.. In 1771 he probably supported the regulators(see Henry H Sharp). He was too old to serve in the War of Independence, but would have helped defend the homestead from the Cherokee. At the age of 82 he immigrated to the frontier of Tenn. | Graefes, Johann (I24032)

In 1653 he was commissioned an officer in the militia, and the 1654 helped lead an expodition through several hundred miles of mountains and forests to Arcadia, where they attacked villiages of the Abenaki and French towns. Once defeated they had a long retreat ahead of them. In 1675 the Massachusettes settlements were suddenly attacked by Wampanoags, Nipmucks, and Naragansettes. Richard fought in this war during which several towns were completely wiped out by the indians. One of those killed was John Ball (Richards cousin) & his wife Elizebeth. It took Four years to defeat the hostiles, making it one of the bloodiest of the indian wars. | Ball, Richard (I23919)

|
| 6744 | NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): Henry , 3/4 Piankashaw 1/4 white, grew up amongst the indians with very little contact with white civilization. He was 19 when the Piankashaw chose to support the French in attacks of nearby Fort Washington. Having chosen the English side Henry was conscripted into the Virginia militia, as were all able bodied white , black and christian men. The area of conflict that Henry saw was Ohio, Kentucky and Penn. It is highly likely that he took part in the expedition against Fort Duquesne. While in Penn. he met and married Barbara Graves. The war ended in 1763 and he probably moved in with his inlaws. he was persona non gratia with the Piankashaw. Suddenly the indians attacked again and he and his bride had to flee to Fort Pitt. The English government then ordered all settlers to abandon the region. Henry and relatives followed the Western Indian Trail and settled at Allamance, Orange County , N.C.(now Allamance Co.). In 1771 Orange County rose in rebellion against the N.C. government. Known as regulators they refused to pay sales tax as the Cherokee were showing signs of war making and Governor Tryon refused to mobilize the militia as it cost too much, thouggh he had just spent 15,000 pounds ( in todays terms over 4 million Dollars) of taxpayers money building his home. However, he did mobilize the militia against the regulators. As Henrys name is not on the list of loyalists we must assume he was a regulator as were 90% of the county. the militia attacked the regulators at Allamance and in a short battle dispersed them, the regulators were imprisioned. No the less within months the English government pardoned the regulators and redressed some of their grievances. Four years later the War of Independence began. Believing they had already pushed their luck, the regulators either joined the loyalist forces or remained neutral. Few joined the Patriots. In June 1776 the frontier was attacked by the Cherokee and Henry was called into the Patriot militia, 6th regiment to take the war ti the Cherokee in N.C. and tennessee, thus once again Henry was forced to choose sides in a war not of his likingng. This became very obvious when the 6th regiment was ordered to join George Washington at Valley Forge in Feb. 1778. In June Henry fought in the battle of Monmouth. In Feb. 1779 the regiment was disbanded so that the men could return home to fight the Cherokee. In 1780 N.C. was over run by the loyalists, and all able bodied frontiersmen gathered to stop them. They met the loyalists at Camden N.C. Aug. 16 1780, but suffering 8% casualties in a matter of minutes, Henry and the others scattered. Over the next two months the frontiersmen led by Francis Marion and others harrassed the loyalists. On Oct. 7 , 1780 the frontiersmen gathered under Colonel Benjamin Sharp and attacked 1000 loyalists at Kings Mountain. They killed 150 wounded and captured 850 and hanged 9 regulators, friends and neighbors of Henry. In Nov. 1780 led by Daniel Morgan the frontiersmen defeated the loyalists at Hammonds store S.C. and in Jan. 1781 at the Cowpens. However they were then defeated by the loyalists at Guildford iin Mar. 1781 and Hobkirks Hill in April 1781. They then defeated the loyalists at Fort 96 in July 1781 and Eutaw Springs in Sept. After this, Patriot regimenmts arrived to besiege the loyalists while the frontiersmen rushed home to fight raids by Cherokees and Creeks. For his service in the Patriot militia Henry was awarded land in Tennessee and moved there in 1784. | Sharp, Henry H. (I24040)
