Frank Saunders |
| My 2nd great-grandfather,
Oliver SAUNDERS, who served under the name alternate names Oliver HENDRIX
and Oliver HENDRICKS, in the USCT. He mustered in at Greenupsburg, KY, if
I am not mistaken, and did so along with his older brother, Frank. He was
a Private in Co. B 121 US Colored Infantry. At the time he mustered out,
he was a Corporal with Co. H - 13 US Colored Heavy Artillery. He shares a
headstone with wife, Katherine Jones SAUNDERS, and Perry SAUNDERS--a child
who only lived from 2/1893 - 3/1894. I have not found any documentation
to determine whether Perry was their child, grandchild, or some other
relative. Has two plaques (D-124 & B-28) at the African American Civil
War Memorial in Washington, DC. Nina Young-Bennett |
Frank SAUNDERS (8/15/1846 -
5/23/1933), Oliver's brother, served under Frank
HENDRIX, Franklin HENDRIX, and Frank/Franklin HENDRICKS. He was in the
exact same units and attained the exact same ranks as my
great-great-grandfather, although their muster-out dates differed
slightly. Frank shares a headstone with his wife Caroline STEWART, who
is related to me on two branches of the family, as her brother married
my great-grandmother, and they are my ancestors. Displayed at the
African American Civil War Memorial twice:
