Daigh5

Finally got some copies made---Some of these are from West Virginia, you may already have those. Since I didn't keep real good track of what I sent you before, I not sure if you have the information from Dade Co. Mo.

I am including a picture of James Daigh and his daughter also a sheet listing all his children and my family sheet showing my descent from the Daigh line.

Next time I get to Springfield, I will try to get to the College to see if they have any family histories or papers that might not be in the usual County history books.

Some of the information you sent me had duplicate copies. Do you mind if I copy the rest and put it in our Genealogical Library? Who knows, it could be very helpful to someone else. We often get people from all over the country using our library. I won't do anything with it unless I have permission from you.

Note: This is something interesting that I found from the Persi Index so I followed through--All the info fits George Daigh. Guess someone mistook Daigh and translated it as le on the end!

GEORGE W. DAIGLE--Born in Lawrence Co., Missouri, March 21, 1839, son Charles C. and Elizabeth (Patton) Daigle, was the fourth generation in direct descent to serve as a soldier in the United States Army.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, the Daigle family moved back to Illinois. The George W. Daigle enlisted in the Union Army, in Company 114 Illinois Volunteer Infantry. During his service in the Civil War, he served under Col. Judy and Capt. Shoup. He was in battles of Jackson, Mississippi, seige of Vicksburg, the seige of Jackson and the battle of Guntown, Mississippi. He was taken prisoner by the Confederates and sent to Andersonville prison at Andersonville, Georgia. (LAWSON HANNIBAL CARLEY, husband of Margaret Ann Daigh, was also a prisoner at Andersonville, Ga. Visited by Clark L and Curtis J. Carley in July of 1996, retracing his war record. Alb, Tn. and Ga.)

After three months at Andersonville, George Daigle was transferred to Charleston, South Carolina, then to Florence, South Carolina, and was later exchanged and returned home in a starving condition. After regaining his health, he returned to his company in Alabama, just as peace was declared (April 1865).

When the Civil War was over, he returned to his parents home in Illinois. On December 26, 1865, George W. Daigle was married to Miss Amanda Willis, daughter of Rev. R. T. Willis. She was born March 15, 1846. In 1867, George Daigle and his wife migrated to Dade County, Missouri, renting land until 1872 when they moved to Lawrence County, Missouri. In 1884, they returned to Dade County, bought a farm on Turnback Creek in South Township. In 1901, George Daigle moved to South Greenfield in Dade County, where he was still living in 1880.

There first immigrant ancestor of the Daigle family was, James Daighle, who came from Ireland and settled in Virginia, in that part now known as West Virginia, prior to Revolutionary War (1776 to 1785). This Daigle ancestor served in the Revolutionary war.

James Lewis Daigle, son of James R. Daigle (above) was a soldier of the War of 1812. He migrated with his family and son, Charles C. Daigle, to Illinois.

Charles C. Daigle served in the Black Hawk War (1832) and about 1837 migrated to Lawrence County, Missouri, When the Civil War broke out, he moved his family back to Illinois.

It would be most interesting to learn if any other descendants of these patriotic soldiers of the United States have served in the various U. S. wars since the Civil War.

The son James, the second of the name, in his will of 1725, (4) mentioned wife, son James and son Thomas. The inventory of Capt.
