Captain Clark H. McDonald - Civil War 8th battery Colored Troops (from McDonald farm on Elk Creek Road, Meredith

from New York in the War of the Rebellion 1861-1865

Captain Clark McDonald - I think this is from a reunion/reenactment he attended. This photo of Clark H. McDonald was taken in the Civil War on the battlefield. Clark and his brother James, who came from the McDonald farm on Elk Creek Road in town of Meredith, were in the Civil War together. James became sick and died, as did many other soldiers in the war. Clark re-enlisted and became Captain of the Colored Troops serving from Virginia to Texas. These three photos, of my great, great uncle Clark H. McDonald, were copied from photos which are housed in the Delaware County Historical Society in Delhi. The photos were donated to the Historical Society by Richard Cutler. --Pat Watts Welcome Page of the Delaware County NY Genealogy and History Site This website is held in trust by Joyce Riedinger for the use of all Delaware County Researchers © copyright 1996-2004
