Dear JLG,
I too have heard that scream. Obtained Isaacs
civil war service record from the department of the Interior, a very worth
while, hand written record of everything he did as a member of Co. E 1st
reg`t Me. Vol, Lt. Arty. Enrolled 12/2/1861 and MO`d 7/6/1865.
Captured at the battle of Gettysburg, repatriated and ran an ambulance for
the duration of the war.
They moved to chicago where he was a Policeman for a while,
and then tradition says he abandoned his family and was never heard from
again. Rumor had it that he had gone to Yuma Az. on a
"crazy colonization scheme". My family had never known, in spite
of many searches what had become of him. All because they tried to use the
name St. Clair, when in actuallity in New England Sinclair was the
default spelling. We rented Rosslyn Castle back in 1991, a truly
metaphysical experience when coupled with a visit to the Masonic Museum in
Edinb. Many times in Scotland it is pronounced "Sinclair"
but written"St. Clair" I. P. Died 5/27/1896 at National
Soldiers Home, Arlington Va.
Maybe try: National Archives and Records
