This
site is dedicated to the citizens of
Clark County, Illinois
During the
writing of Rally
Cry!, I
began compiling
information on the soldiers from the county who
served from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War, nearly 7,000 men
and women. The main sources
used in the searches came from county burial records, various state
military
rosters, including the Illinois and Indiana
Attorney General's Reports
of the Civil War, and records from the National
Archives and Records
Administration, all of which have been made readily available to
the
public. Other invaluable tools were genealogy and military computer
programs, especially Generations®
by Sierra On-Line, Inc.® In addition to these
resources, several web sites have been very helpful, and I encourage
each reader to visit their sites to examine their wonderful material.
These sites may be found in the CCMD links page below.
Understandably, information concerning county
soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 was
relatively scarce after all the years. It is hoped that the majority of
the men who served are included here. However, there may have been
several inadvertantly excluded, and burial locations have
yet to be pinpointed for many, especially those from the modern era. It
is also
my belief that some of the burial records which notated military
service are in error. When a doubt existed, and verification
impossible, a notation to this fact has
been made.
I regret
any errors or ommissions. This site is intended to be a guide for
further research and not an authoritative
document. I am no historian, nor claim to be. Military history is
simply a hobby to me, and, unfortunately, life's responsibilities keep
me from the proper research needed to verify questionable military
service- which is exactly why all volunteers who have available time is
greatly appreciated.
Any
correspondence concerning the soldiers listed here, or those who may
have been excluded, is welcomed for further documentation. I encourage
all post-Vietnam soldiers to enter their information into the Clark
County Veteran's Log on the right for inclusion onto the CCMD.
Thank you
and enjoy your visit,
