At some point I will share what I know about Harry and Frieda on this blog but that may be a while because most of what I have on Harry and Frieda is in the 1900′s and up to about 1945. I do have listed on my database that Dorothy married a Thomas Sievert and then probably second Heffernen, if I have that correct, but that is about all I have on her marriages. Harry and Frieda’s family and what happened to them is very interesting. Harry’s children were easily confused with his father Henry and Elizabeth. It took me some work to figure out who belonged to whom. Henry is Amarilla’s my great grandmother’s full brother. So Harry would be her nephew, if I have that correct. I will email you directly and we can chat. Bonnie

Her parents were Harry Spraklin and Frieda Ackerman. I am trying to find out more information in my grandma, Dorothy, and her son, Patrick Heffernen. Have you found out any of this information or have any ideas where I could find more info? I have searched for Patrick Heffernen online and have found nothing. Apparently, he died before Dorothy.

From what I can make out from George’s pension and service records he was somewhat independant of the 9th Regiment. He wrote that he was never attached to any regiment but I have no idea what he meant by that. I believe that records for the Quartermaster Dept. are at NARA (National Archives) but I have not done anymore digging in that area. What a great treasure to have that unpublished diary you are very lucky. I believe they could be local as well as part of the army but you would have to talk to an expert on the army at that time. Sorry I cannot be of further help! Good luck on your quest.

I’m also doing some research into wagoners and trying to find out if the wagoner could have been a local person or was always a part of the army. I’m using an unpublished diary from the MN 7th Reg.

Any idea?
