Subject: Shawhan family connections

Dear Bob,
Sorry for the delay in responding -- my life has been busy lately. Yes, I am the same person identified in your message. (My middle name is spelled Bryce, by the way.) Time passes quickly. Mark is now in college, and Andrew is in the 10th grade.
A few years ago, when the boys were still building model rockets and I drove them to a rocketry meet out in the midwest, we went to Shawhan, Kentucky on the way. It is a village so small that it is not even named on most modern maps; we located it using the oldest map at the bottom of a drawer in a tourist information center. It is not far from Paris, KY and Cynthiana, KY. There is still a small Shawhan Church there -- originally Presbyterian, now Baptist. I took a few photos of it which I could scan and send to you electronically if you were interested.
To tell you the truth, my feelings about visiting Shawhan, Kentucky were complicated. To explain, I need to tell you a bit about my part of our now widespread family. My grandfather's grandfather, Daniel Shawhan, grew up on a farm near Keokuk, Iowa. His cousin, John Shawhan, lived in Kentucky, near where Shawhan, KY is now located. They were apparently the children of brothers who had gone in somewhat different directions when heading west from their father's home in Pennsylvania, looking for new places to settle.
When the Civil War came along, Daniel signed up and became a soldier in Company D, Crocker's Brigade, of the 13th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, part of the Union Army. His unit, part of a force commanded by some inexperienced officers, was attacked early one Sunday morning in April 1862, so far out in the country that the only identifiable local feature was a small country church. While other units nearby disintegrated under the surprise attack and fled, the unit Daniel was in held its position until relieved, helping to anchor the Union line. In two days of intense fighting in that action, there were a total of more than 25,000 casualties. To help you reflect on what that number means, it was ten times as many Americans as were killed at Pearl Harbor, or five times as many Americans as were killed in the recent September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. The battle later became known by the name of that small country church, Shiloh. The early spring weather turned bad the day after the battle, with sleet and freezing rain. The forces on both sides had lost most of their supplies and equipment in the heat of battle and lacked shelter or warm clothing. Many soldiers became seriously ill due to exposure. Daniel, who had survived the fighting, very nearly died from illness, and was eventually invalided out of the Army and sent home, his health broken. The part of the Union Army he had belonged to, furious at the losses of enormous numbers of their comrades, marched south and east under the command of one of those inexperienced officers who had barely averted defeat at Shiloh. His name was William Tecumseh Sherman, and he led his troops in the direction of Georgia, to pay back some of what they had suffered at Shiloh at the hands of people who had betrayed and waged war against their own country.
While Daniel was coming very close to being killed by Confederates at Shiloh, and then nearly dying of exposure and illness, his first cousin John, whose family raised horses on a large farm, was forming a volunteer troop of Confederate cavalry. As the son of one of the largest local landowners, and the source of many of the horses, he became the commander of the unit. Somewhat later in the war, while under the command of Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan, he was shot out of his saddle by a Union bushwhacker (what we would now call a sniper) while leading a patrol not far from Cynthiana. His sorrowing men draped the lifeless body of their leader over his own horse, and rode him back to his family home for burial.
With the passage of 140 years, we have come to view the Civil War through a gauzy romantic haze of sentimental old songs, and battle "re-enactments" where all the participants get up and go home safe when the day is over. Out of curiosity, I looked up some figures a while back, and I was stunned by what I found. Between the Union and Confederate forces, there were 900,000 casualties in the Civil War, at a time when the total population of the United States was only about 35 million. This was Americans killing Americans, in one of the most vicious and destructive conflicts our nation has ever known. Almost every city, town and village in upstate New York, where I now live, has a monument listing the names of the local citizens who died in the Civil War. They were all killed by fellow Americans who, like Tim McVeigh in our own time, hated the federal government so much that they thought that entitled them to murder anyone associated with it, by the tens and hundreds of thousands. Reflect on where the members of our own family were at the end of that War -- Daniel, broken in health and still mourning the loss of many of his former comrades; and John, lying silent under six feet of Kentucky soil.
As far as I am aware, Daniel's side of the family, my side of the family, had little if any further contact with his cousin John's side of the family for many years after the War was over. Each side of the family pretty much forgot that the other existed. It wasn't until my father's generation grew to be older people looking back on life in the 1970s and 1980s, more than 100 years after the War ended, that members of the two sides of the family with a parallel interest in genealogy poked around in old records long enough to rediscover each other's existence.
So when I took my two sons to visit Shawhan, Kentucky, I had very mixed emotions. There was a certain fascination to seeing the family name still posted in front of a small old stone church, and to realize that blood relations of mine had lived there more than a century earlier. (As far as I could tell from the local phone book, there aren't any Shawhans left living there now.) At least one of those relatives, though, had done his level best to kill United States soldiers fighting under the same Stars and Stripes that we now see everywhere following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon -- soldiers a lot like his cousin, my own grandfather's grandfather. I know about the suffering and loss which Daniel went through because the telling of it has been handed down in every generation of my family since then, from father to son. Even now, almost 140 years and many generations later, I can still feel emotionally the great sorrow, sense of loss, and bitterness from that War. It came perilously close to tearing our country apart forever. I hope that we never see its like again.
My son Mark, who is going to college at Columbia in New York City just a few miles from where the World Trade Center was destroyed, turned 18 this fall, and had to register with the Selective Service System. I support what our country is doing in Afghanistan, and the troops who are engaged in that effort. I understand better than I want to why we are over there. The state agency I work for lost some employees in the Trade Center, a place where I have been many times in the past. I helped to arrange the death benefits for the survivors of one of them, a man I had met a couple of times on agency business, who left behind a wife, a six year old son, and a three year old daughter. We have to fight, and we have to win. Yet I also recognize that many of the troops we have sent over there to fight for us are teenagers a lot like Mark. I hope that as many of them as possible get home safe when this is all over.
To bring this back to where we began, yes, I am the same person identified in your message. It would appear that we are related some generations back. I will try to find some time to take a look at your web site, and perhaps figure out some of the family connections. In the meantime, I hope that this message gives you a sense of some of the personal stories that the names in geneologies represent. Regards, Peter Shawhan pbs23@columbia.edu
