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

in the Michigan letter.
