Rachel and John Johonnet Civil War Maine
Hello,
I am a Civil War collector and writer and recently purchased a large collection of letters written by Rachel and John Johonnet from Newport Maine to each other.The letters are very poignant and John died of dysentery shortly after they were written. The couple had at least four children, Fred, who was also serving in the Civil War, Nelson, Albina, and Viola.Rachel also had a brother, whom I don't know the name of who was serving with the Confederacy.
I am currently in the process of writing a book about Rachel and John and would appreciate any help at all with missing information.I am most interested in Rachel's maiden name and what became of their children.I am glad to exchange the information that I have already found about Rachel and John.
Thanks, thanks, thanks - to anyone who can help,
