Camp Andy Jackson March 17-1862 Dear Father I received your kind letter of the 1st with pleasure I was glad to hear that you are getting your usual health again. I am now in my usual health though I had a severe cold some time ago which was the first time I was unwell in the service we have very (many?) drill times in camp now as we have no drill since we left camp Wood and we get but few papers now to read there was another death in our company last Friday the man's name that died was Joseph Stark a son of Rev. Stark who used to preach at crooked creek there were two brothers of them in this company both are now dead; the one that died here died by his own imprudence having eaten about a pound of crackers at a meal he took sick that night and never had a passage after March 18. My writing was interrupted yesterday by an order to move when we packed up and started to go ahead again but we are now stopt again within half a mile of our old camp the weather is quite pleasant with occasional light frosts the season don't seem to be so much earlier as might be expected as the peach trees are only just coming in bloom. (End of front of letter, the rest on the back page)
I received the box Thomas sent me last Friday and I appreciate good butter now if ever I did the contents are all very acceptable though the butter is rather the best.

Negl(illegible) Brigade Tenn (Source: Courtesy of Sylvia Heath per e-mail 01 September 2000..."The text of the Civil War letter is as follows...(It is written with very little punctuation, so I have transcribed it in that way, putting in only those periods, commas, capitals, etc. found in the letter) but the script is very neatly written and mostly still legible.")

According to Jenny Zinn Solida William had his blacksmith shop in his barn. (Source: Courtesy of Sylvia Heath)
After William's wife Nancy Jane died of a heart ailment all the Youngs and the Spangs got together to have a meeting on how to raise the younger children. William was a member of the Odd Fellows, so they decided to send them to the Odd Fellows Home. When Sadie heard this she ran upstairs and crawled in the cradle (she was eleven) covered up her head and started to cry. William went looking for her and when he found her he asked "Sadie what's wrong?". She said "I don't want to go to a home, I want you to raise me." He replied "Well bless you I will." He then arranged for his sister, Sarah, to come and she lived with them for several years. (Source: Sylvia Heath, story from another Young family member)

According to Delayed Birth Certificates of her daughters Jenny and Irene, Nancy was the mother of eleven children. On the 1880 PA, Armstrong County, Manor Township census a female child named Jane is present and she is not present on the 1900 census.

Notes:

Samuel Spang's grandfather, George, came from Germany in 1763 and settled in Cumberland Co., Pennslvania. He had four children--Michael, Margaret, Henry and Jacob, who was born 17 Feb 1770 in Reading, PA. After their marriage Jacob and Nancy moved to Erie Co., but moved on to Salem Township, Westmoreland Co., as she did not like the high winds from Lake Erie. Later they moved to Allegheny Township, Armstrong Co. Barbara & Samual had moved to Armstrong County by the time of the 1860 census.

Samuel married SCHMAEL, Barbara 1838. Barbara (daughter of SCHMAEL, Jacob and KLINGELSCHMIDT, Magthalena, daughter of SMAIL, Jacob and KLINGENSMITH, Magdalena) was born 28 Nov 1818, Westmoreland Co., Pa.; was christened 09 Jul 1819, Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pa.; died 10 Mar 1908, Pennsylvania; was buried Dunkard Baptist Christian Brethern Cemetery, Cochrans Mills.

Baptized by: John Michael Steck -- Greensburg Luthern
Sponsered by her parents.

Original name was Schmael -- German Name

Barbara's will was dated 10 May 1906. She left her 53 acre farm, which was located in Bethel Twp., Armstrong Co., Pa. to her son, Isaiah, with a unique condition. Isaiah had to accept the bequest within 30 days after the appraisement; otherwise the farm would be sold along with her personal property and the procedes divided equally among her seven children. The appraisement and inventory of her personal property, two days after her death, showed a value of $490.30. When the time came for the division of the estate among the heirs, in March 1910, there was only $185.00 in the administrator's account, or $26.43 per child.The will originally provided that, aside from the farm, her children were to share equally. Since her daughter, Nancy, was deceased, she bequeathed her share to four of her eight children --- Robert, William, Samual Young and Barbara Eckman ---after $35.00 was spent for a tombstone for the deceassed daughter. On 27 January 1907 Barbara amended her will to provide that nancy's other four children were to share in their mother's portion of the estate. Each child received $3.31/ $3.30, which was not mentioned in the 1907 change. By the time of the final distribution, Barbara's daughter, Leah Shotts was also deceased. The result was that each of her nine children received $2.94 / $2.93 from their grandmother. Barbara left nothing to her stepchildren, the children of her husband and his first wife, Elizabeth Riggle.
