Notes |
- He was a Confederate soldier in the 1st (Nelligan's) Regiment of the Louisiana Infantry. Here is his entry in Booth:
Pvt. Co. D, 1st (Nelligan's) La. Inf. En. April 28, 1861, New Orleans, La. Present on Rolls to June, 1862. Roll to Nov. 30, 1862, Discharged, being over age. Record copied from Memorial Hall, New Orleans, La., by the War Dept., Washington, D. C., May, 1903, born Brazil, occupation mechanic, age when enlisted 38. Discharged, over age, July —, 1862.
If he said he was 38 in 1861, he was fudging it; the 1900 census says that he was actually born in 1819.
This note appears in the New Orleans Item, 22 Mar. 1912, p7:
The business of pile driving for wharfs, bridges, buildings and boat houses, fomerly carried on by C. I. B. Hemenway, lately deceased, is now carried on by his son, J. Ed. Hemenway, 2901 [?] Iberville St.
