Notre Dame: Shriver Manuscripts of the American Civil War


I was researching the letters between members of the Shriver family during the American Civil War, for an upcoming column in January 2013, and came across an unexpected great source of information at Notre Dame:

Introduction to the Shriver Family Correspondence

By George Rugg

The Shriver correspondence is a small group of mostly war-related notes and letters, written from 1860 to 1865 by the brothers Andrew Keiser Shriver (four items) and Thomas Herbert Shriver (three items). The authors were two of the thirteen children of William and Mary Owings Shriver of Union Mills, Carroll County, Maryland. The Union Mills Shrivers were a locally prominent family, whose "homestead" on the Westminster-Gettysburg road served as a base for various entrepreneurial and political activities. At the time of the Civil War ownership of the homestead properties was divided between William Shriver (1796-1879), who managed the milling operations, and his brother Andrew. The children of William and Mary Shriver were raised as Roman Catholics, under the tutelage of their mother… http://www.rarebooks.nd.edu/digital/civil_war/letters/shriver/

Explore Carroll: EAGLE ARCHIVE: Civil War came to Westminster three times during the 1860s


Kevin Dayhoff @ExploreCarroll: EAGLE ARCHIVE: Civil War came to Westminster three times during the 1860s http://t.co/6
Last Tuesday marked the 150th anniversary of the first shots fired in the American Civil War -- at 4:30 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 1861, at Fort Sumter, in the Charleston, S.C., harbor.

It may be argued that the war between the states began as early as 1619, when African slaves first arrived in Jamestown, Va… http://www.explorecarroll.com/opinion/5351/civil-war-came-westminster-three-times-during-1860s/

Explore Carroll: DAYHOFF: More Medal of Honor recipients have Carroll County connections




After last week's column about 1st Lt. John Buffington, of Taneytown, was published ("Recalling Carroll's only recipient of Congressional Medal of Honor"), I was told of research suggesting there are more Medal of Honor winners who have connections to our county.

Shortly after the column appeared, I heard from readers from all over the world -- from here in Carroll County to Australia to South Carolina.

As much as I appreciated everyone's feedback and questions, perhaps the most valuable came from Laura Jowdy, an archivist from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society (www.cmohs.org.)

April 5, 2011 Update on last week’s Eagle Archive column, in the Carroll Eagle: “Recalling Carroll’s only recipient of Congressional Medal of Honor” – April 3, 2011 http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2011/04/update-eagle-archive-column-recalling.html

Further research after last week’s Eagle Archive column, “Recalling Carroll’s only recipient of Congressional Medal of Honor” was published, indicates that at there may be at least four Medal of Honor winners who have connections with Carroll County.  See this week's Eagle Archive for more details."
