Donated Material: Military, Police & Prison Records


Claremen who served in the American Civil War, 1861-1865

Title: Claremen who served in the American Civil War
Type: Military Records
Dates: 1861-1865
Source: Various
Transcriber/Donator: Sharon Carberry, U.S.A.

What follows is a condensed version of data on individual soldiers shown in obituaries, pension records, official muster rolls, biographies, etc. Inclusion in this list depended on two key types of information: (1) an exact Army unit being named and (2) a specific reason to place the soldier's birth in County Clare. Every listing below that does not list a specific Clare location does have a clear reference in the underlying record to Clare, Ireland, although “Clare” is not repeated here. It is unknown how accurate the other information is in a listing, as the underlying records could contain typographical errors or be transcribed poorly, and spellings can be odd due to unfamiliarity of a record clerk with an Irish name or its spelling. The surname shown below in upper-case letters is the one shown in the soldier's record, followed by my best guess at the name as it would be spelled in Clare. In every instance, information in this list should be confirmed with additional research.

Abbreviation key:
app. = application
certif. = certificate
Art = Artillery
Cav = cavalry
Inf = infantry

MULLEN (Mullins), Thomas
An anonymous letter to the editor of the Boston Pilot newspaper urged reprinting of an earlier letter to a Michigan newspaper to memorialize the soldier’s efforts in his last battle. The Pilot did so 23 Nov 1861 and these details were made public: Mullen was born in Killaloe and immigrated 1845 to West Troy NY, later resettling in White Pigeon, Michigan. He enlisted with two other men of the same town, into the Chicago Irish Brigade commanded by a Mulligan. End of article’s details. Col. James Mulligan headed 23 Illinois Infantry, organized at Chicago June 1861, in the September battle at Lexington, Kentucky, during which Mullen was described in the letters as taking brave action that got him killed. Illinois state rosters don’t include this soldier; the federal NPS Soldiers and Sailors database lists Thomas Mullins in 23 IL Inf, Co. K., the same unit as his fellow White Pigeon enlistees named in the Michigan letter.
