Subject: [IN-CIVIL-WAR] LT.COL.ALLEN COBB WATERHOUSE
Greetings to all Listers. The subject Union Civil War veteran is in my
line of descendancy from Richard Waterhouse of Portsmouth, NH & later of Scarborough,
ME. I have gathered a considerable amount of data on Allen, but there still are some gaps
which I am hopeful can be filled. I am listing, following, the *KNOWN* facts I have, &
then the *UNKNOWNS* I am seeking.
*KNOWN* His parents were: Joseph Waterhouse Jr. & Esther-{Penly} Waterhouse; both b.
in ME & m. 1823 in ME. Joseph d. 1863 in Cloverdale, IN, & Esther d. 1886 in
Goshen, IN. Allen was the 6th of 8 ch born to this couple. Allen was b. on 8/8/1833, but
no proof of being born either in ME or IN. He enlisted as a Capt. on 12/19/1861 in the 1st
IL Light Artillery-Battery E, in Chicago. During his career he was promoted to; &
discharged as a Lt. Colonel. He is purported to have participated in the battles of:
Shiloh-{wounded}-Vicksburg, Resaca,
Dallas, & Atlanta, GA. Allen d. in Chicago, IL-Date unknown.
*UNKNOWNS*
Allen's parents relocated from ME to IN at an unknown date-{poss- ibly around 1829}.
This is based on knowing that 4 of the 8 ch were b. in ME, while the other
4's-{including Allen}-birthplaces are unknown; but presuming IN. Knowing the
approximate time of the move to IN could establish Allen's birthplace. Other unknowns
are Allen's date of death, his place of burial, & his martital status. And, if
married; were there any children
Any info on the Indiana connections, large, small, or otherwise, or on
Allen himself will be sincerely appreciated.
