This month I have decided to concentrate on my Cheuvront family line. The family line began in America with Joseph Cheuvront and the last Cheuvront in my family line was my second great grandmother Alta Cheuvront who married John Coleman in 1866.
It is believed that Aaron was married three times with Amanda Matilda Grant being wife number 1, Sarah Richards wife number two and that he married for the third time to Matilda Bolin.
In researching I have found that Aaron Charles fought in the Civil War on the Union side . He was residing in West Virginia and was in the 11th Regiment, West Virginia Infantry Company K and was a private during his time in the military.
Tonight I found at http://www.civilwararchive.com/unionwv.htm, http://www.wvcivilwar.com/union-regiments/11th-west-virginia-infantry/
Information on the 11th Regiment Infantry the following..

What I am still searching for is when he enlisted and when he was mustered out. These records can be found at the National Archives if I do not find them on the Internet.
I now know of three ancestors who fought in the civil war. Besides Aaron Cheuvront my great great grandfather John Lockwood and John's brother Frederick Lockwood fought on the union side. Both signed up with Wisconsin Calvary and served about one year.

I have had several members of my family involved with the military during the wars our country has been involved in. From the revolutionary to World War 11.
Today for Military Monday I am sharing the civil war records of my great great grandfather John T Lockwood.
I had the pleasure of visiting the National Archives many years ago and while there was able to see and copy his Records.
From these records I was able to find out that he had grey eyes, dark hair, fair complexion and was 5' 9 1/2 " tall. That he was a farmer and had been born in New York.
John volunteered the 29Th day of August 1864 at Fond Du lac Wisconsin for one year as a private in Co. K Regt Wisconsin Calvary.
The Muster rolls show me that he was present but sadly do not tell me where he was other than September 6Th 1864 he was at town of Trenton, Dodge county sub district 38 and was due $100. On November 25Th 1864 he was in Madison Wisconsin and was due $100.

Last muster roll dated November 15,1865 at Austin Texas.
John's brother Ferdinand joined at the same time. I did not get his records from the archives. I am hoping to visit again some day and get these records or to order them if not able to visit.I am still on the search for more information on John and hoping some day to come across a picture of him.
Thanks for stopping by.. Grace
