Generation: 4

  1. 10.  Jacob Roe was born Abt 1826, England; died 17 Sep 1862, Antietam, MD.

    Notes:

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Jacob & Harriet are living with their two daughters in Ward 6, Providence, RI.

    Jacob was a Private in the Union Army, 4th Rhode Island Regiment, Co. B (infantry). He died in the Battle of Antietam, considered the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.

    September 1862 -- Antietam: On September 17, Confederate forces under General Lee were caught by General McClellan near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This battle proved to be the bloodiest day of the war; 2,108 Union soldiers were killed and 9,549 wounded -- 2,700 Confederates were killed and 9,029 wounded. The battle had no clear winner, but because General Lee withdrew to Virginia, McClellan was considered the victor. The battle convinced the British and French -- who were contemplating official recognition of the Confederacy -- to reserve action, and gave Lincoln the opportunity to announce his Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation (September 22), which would free all slaves in areas rebelling against the United States, effective January 1, 1863. ( notes from web site: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/cwphtml/tl1862.html )

    Jacob married Harriet Edwards 26 Jan 1854, RI. Harriet (daughter of George EDWARDS and Abigail Abby WRAY) was born Abt 10 Sep 1831, Clones, Monaghan, Ireland; died Abt 18 Aug 1907; was buried 21 Aug 1907, Walnut Hill Cemetery, Armistice Blvd., Pawtucket, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 11.  Harriet Edwards was born Abt 10 Sep 1831, Clones, Monaghan, Ireland (daughter of George EDWARDS and Abigail Abby WRAY); died Abt 18 Aug 1907; was buried 21 Aug 1907, Walnut Hill Cemetery, Armistice Blvd., Pawtucket, RI.

    Notes:

    Harriet's gravestone has her birth year as 1834; the 1900 census has her dob as 5 May 1835.

    Her baptismal record gives her parents' names as George Edwards and Aby Wray. She was baptized on 18 Sep 1831, so I have estimated her actual birthday.

    According to census data in 1900, Harriet came to America in 1836. However, that is not possible since she is in the England census in 1841 and 1851. She probably came in 1853.
