served in the war but I have not found any record of it. They were all

MONTGOMERY
James A. Franz Mon
Sep 1 19:44:00 1997 My great Grandfather, Col.
James Montgomery, of Mound City, Kansas, born Nov. 22, 1814, died
Dec. 6, 1871. He died at his residence 6 miles west of Mound City, Linn
County. Col. James Montgomery was instrumental in helping to fund the arming
of the Kansas Territorial Militia, in particular to help defend against
the threat of Missouri Confederate General Stephen Price. Montgomery also
engaged in various gun battles with raiders from Missouri, and experienced
the burning of his home and other incidents. He was captured on one occasion
by raiders and escaped with the help of a secreted derringer. During one
period he moved to Missouri as a school teacher to gain intelligence
on guerrilla raiders from Missouri, who were later attacked during the
Kansas-Missouri strife preceding the Civil War. He commanded a regiment
of black soldiers in the Civil War. The object of this query is to determine
the designation of the black regiment and to discovery if any repository
of Kansas history might have photographs from that time.

Dave Wetzler
Fri Sep 19 20:50:27 1997
My wife's great, great grandfather was named
Mahlon Holaday (I've seen it spelled Holladay). He was attached to the
12th Kansas Volunteers as a surgeon. He was put in charge of a military
hospital at Paola and later ordered to the front. I'm looking for any information
confirming the above as well as additional facts about this period and
his parents. This information comes from an autobiography of Mahlon's son
William which he wrote in 1924 for the benefit of his family. Prior to
the Civil War Mahlon was also a member of the last legislature of the Territory
of Kansas and a member of the first legislature of the State of Kansas.
He was born March 17, 1835 and graduated from Jefferson University Medical
School at Philadelphia in 1857. His wife was Cynthia Hunt. I also
have quite a bit more information about the Holaday family if anyone is
RENNAKER
Linda A. (Karma) Yoakem
I saw your e-mail address on the Web Page for Kansas GenLink, with lists
of Civil War soldiers. I am inquiring to see
if you know how I can find any possible information on a relative of mine
who is reported to have been in the Civil War. His name is Jacob
C. Rennaker, and he died in El Dorado, Kansas on December 1, 1920.
His parents were David Rennaker and Rheva Cravins, he married Martha Arthurhaltz,
and he had a sister named Rebecca. His children were Michael and
Rebecca. There is a probability that he was enlisted in Kansas or
Indiana, as I do not know at what time he moved to Kansas or if he was
born there. I checked your lists of Company A through Company H,
but could not get into any of the other lists (Infantry and Indian).
Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you.

CUNNINGHAM

Lemuel Gittinger Cunningham I am doing
some research on my father-in-laws family. His birthday is 9 Aug and he
will be 80 years old. His grandfather (the Subject of the message) served
in the Union Army and I belive in Kansas. He died in Kansas around 6 Mar
1897. I have a copy of a typewritten note from a G. H. Billings informing
Lemuels two sons in Oklahoma that their died and then a letter talking
about the funeral. Billings talks about a grand army badge and ensigna
of command but no mention of unit, rank, dates of service etc. I have not
been able to find anything on your web site. Am I not searching correctly
or is there another web site I am missing. Am trying to put a family tree
together for my father's in laws birthday and have a lot of information.
Soemthing about his grandfathers civil war service would be icing on the
cake. Lemuel died and was buried in Delphos, Ottawa County about 6-7 March
1897. Would appreciate any ideas you might have. Sincerely, Sherm Sarff
