1863, 2nd Casualty of US Civil War, Major Andrew Gallwey, son of the late John Gallwey, Esq., Skibbereen.

DEATHS.
At Baton Rouge, La., U.S. America, Major Andrew Gallwey, son of the late John Gallwey, Esq., Skibbereen. Having been wounded at the taking of Port Hudson, he was removed to Baton Rouge, where he died on the 9th July, a Christian soldier, fortified by all the rites of the Catholic Church, in the 26th year of his age. His brother Edward was the first victim whose life was sacrificed in the present American war.¹ He was killed at Fort Sumter, on the 13th April, 1861, aged 20 years.—May they rest in peace.

..

Edward Gallwey was actually the second casualty of the Civil War, having been mortally wounded when a cannon exploded while firing a salute at the ceremony surrendering Fort Sumter to the Confederate forces. The first fatality was Pvt. Daniel Hough who was killed in the same accident. Thus the first casualties of the Civil War were from “friendly fire,” the first deaths from hostile action taking place when the 6th Massachusetts Volunteer Militia forced their way through Baltimore on their way to Washington on the 19th of April 1861.

This is likely in connection with Adderly’s silk enterprise.  Reputedly it attracted Huguenot artisans and may explain the later migration west of such families when the enterprise failed.

1862,  Letter Edward Conner, Ballineen to his Sister in USA?, Names Mentioned: Damery, Fateman, Connelly, Farr, Hayes, Daunt, Collins, Meade. Decourseys, Clark, Gibbs Ross, Dr. Jagoe, Family in St. Johns, New Brunswick, Emigration to Queensland, Charity Sermon in Ballymoney Church in Aid Of Lancashire Cotton Workers, US Civil War.

Courtesy Mark O’Connor:

 I am attaching a letter from my gg grandfather’s brother, Edward Conner to this email.  I think you may find it interesting as it mentions some practices of the times as well as a lot of people from Ballineen, including Dr. Jagoe, who came to check on my 3 great grandmother when she was sick.  It mentions my ancestor’s brother, William Stephens Conner, who had joined the north from the state of Iowa, as a private.  Wm had obtained free 80 acres of land, first in Illinois, then again in Iowa.  He wanted to fight to preserve the country where he could own land.  What Edward did not know, is that my ancestor, Dr John McNamara-Swan Conner (O’Connor), had gone with William to serve as an unpaid doctor for Wm’s unit.  The mention of Tom, is Thomas Conner Jr, my gg grandfather’s eldest brother, who stayed in St john, New Brunswick as a teacher, never married, and passed away there.  There was also a sister who married a Jagoe from West Cork, however, so far as I know, they had no children.
