Weston. He is 8 years old and was born in Connecticut.1 On 5 April 1859, Frank Leed Weston moved with his parents to Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan; His son Edgar tells that his father had a farm of 70 acres in Vernon when he desired a change and was influenced by Horace Greely of the New York Tribune, who wrote "Go West, young man, go West!" At 2pm on 5 April 1859, their familiy took a boat down the Connecticut River and arrived in New York City the following morning. They were then taken by Omnibus across North River Ferry and then traveled by the New York Central Railroad to Jonesville arriving the morning of April 8th. They still had 15 miles of muddy and corduroy road to travel to reach their final destination. (A corduroy road was a long series of small saw-logs laid side by side and were used deliberately over streches of swampy ground making it passable. The logs were laid in a pattern that reminded people of corduroy.) Edgar remembers that their father procured a canopy top three-seated wagon for the family, and a wagon for their numerous trunks. They reached their destination by going through 1/2 miles of woods to cleared land of about 100 acres to an ordinary log house, the first one they had ever seen.

     On 16 July 1863. George Edgar Weston writes to his father, George Weston, in Pulaski, Michigan. "You can scarcely imagine the joy, which the news of the fall of Vicksburg occasioned in the soldiers today .... it made them feel good.... also, there is a rumor out, that Morgan has been captured up in Indiana. It would be a joke on John if it was so, and it seems as if it ought to be so. We have about 10 to 12,000 of us good Cav, as ever was here, under the Command of Gen. Stanly, the 4th Mich. is here .....Frank has been groaning around with a bile, for a day or two, but it is getting better now, John is tough and hearty, but complains that he has not heard from his father, for a long time, he is detailed down town to guard cattle that we have captured. Frank is asleep in our day tent all doubled up as if he was on a wide bed, and it was all his, and your coresspondent is sitting on the ground in the shade of a mulberry tree writing and thinking of home, and whether they would like to see him there or not, at any rate he would risk it if he could go there.
     How is wheat coming in this year, and how are the crops in general. Tell James, that we are looking for a letter from him everyday, and that we must not calculate that Augusta writes for both of them. Tell the boys I would like to write to them, but I have very little time, and less paper for all such things are left back with the train. Give my love to Mother, Brothers & Sisters and accept a large share for yourself. This from your son E. Weston."4

     George Edgar Weston was born on 30 March 1844 in Vernon, Tolland County, Connecticut.2,3 He was the son of George C. Weston and Abba Augusta Slack.1 In the Vernon, Tolland County, Connecticut, census dated 25 September 1850, George Edgar Weston, shown as George Edgar Westron, is listed in the household of George C. Weston. He is 6 years old and was born in Connecticut.1 On 5 April 1859, George Edgar Weston moved with his parents to Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan; His son Edgar tells that his father had a farm of 70 acres in Vernon when he desired a change and was influenced by Horace Greely of the New York Tribune, who wrote "Go West, young man, go West!" At 2pm on 5 April 1859, their familiy took a boat down the Connecticut River and arrived in New York City the following morning. They were then taken by Omnibus across North River Ferry and then traveled by the New York Central Railroad to Jonesville arriving the morning of April 8th. They still had 15 miles of muddy and corduroy road to travel to reach their final destination. (A corduroy road was a long series of small saw-logs laid side by side and were used deliberately over streches of swampy ground making it passable. The logs were laid in a pattern that reminded people of corduroy.) Edgar remembers that their father procured a canopy top three-seated wagon for the family, and a wagon for their numerous trunks. They reached their destination by going through 1/2 miles of woods to cleared land of about 100 acres to an ordinary log house, the first one they had ever seen. Edgar remembered the disappointment and the homesickness at the surroundings and he remembers all of the older children declared they would not live there.3,4 In the census of 7 August 1860 in Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan, George appears in the household of George C. Weston as George Western. He is 16 years old and was born in Connecticut.5

The 2nd Cavalry was under the command of General Sheridan and they gathered at St. Louis for movements throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. They joined Shermans Army for the famous Georgia campaign.2

     On 16 July 1863. George Edgar Weston writes to his father, George Weston, in Pulaski, Michigan. "You can scarcely imagine the joy, which the news of the fall of Vicksburg occasioned in the soldiers today .... it made them feel good.... also, there is a rumor out, that Morgan has been captured up in Indiana. It would be a joke on John if it was so, and it seems as if it ought to be so. We have about 10 to 12,000 of us good Cav, as ever was here, under the Command of Gen. Stanly, the 4th Mich. is here .....Frank has been groaning around with a bile, for a day or two, but it is getting better now, John is tough and hearty, but complains that he has not heard from his father, for a long time, he is detailed down town to guard cattle that we have captured. Frank is asleep in our day tent all doubled up as if he was on a wide bed, and it was all his, and your coresspondent is sitting on the ground in the shade of a mulberry tree writing and thinking of home, and whether they would like to see him there or not, at any rate he would risk it if he could go there.
     How is wheat coming in this year, and how are the crops in general. Tell James, that we are looking for a letter from him everyday, and that we must not calculate that Augusta writes for both of them. Tell the boys I would like to write to them, but I have very little time, and less paper for all such things are left back with the train. Give my love to Mother, Brothers & Sisters and accept a large share for yourself. This from your son E. Weston."3


     Abby Weston wrote to her brother Edgar who was serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. The letter was written near Abby's 17th birthday. It mentions their house is "coming up" and says "the well is in running order, but the water is somewhat muddy yet.3

Wyllis, in March 1869 in Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan.6,3 In the Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan, census dated 7 July 1870, George Edgar Weston, shown as Geroge Weston, is listed in the household of Ba A. Willis. He is 26 years old and is a farmer. He was born in Connecticut. Also in this household is Adda Weston and a one year old male, Weston.7 George and Adda bought a farm from Adda's father in the N 1/4 of Section 23, Pulaski Township probably sometime before 1880.3 In the census of 3 June 1880 at Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan, George Edgar Weston, shown as George E.

     Ervine Howard Weston was also known as Erving Howard Weston.1

     Ervine Howard Weston was born on 9 April 1850 in Vernon, Tolland County, Connecticut.2,1 He was the son of George C. Weston and Abba Augusta Slack. In the census of 25 September 1850 in Vernon, Tolland County, Connecticut, Ervine appears in the household of George C. Weston as John Weston. In this census, he is four months old and was born in Connecticut.3 On 5 April 1859, Ervine Howard Weston moved with his parents to Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan; His son Edgar tells that his father had a farm of 70 acres in Vernon when he desired a change and was influenced by Horace Greely of the New York Tribune, who wrote "Go West, young man, go West!" At 2pm on 5 April 1859, their familiy took a boat down the Connecticut River and arrived in New York City the following morning. They were then taken by Omnibus across North River Ferry and then traveled by the New York Central Railroad to Jonesville arriving the morning of April 8th. They still had 15 miles of muddy and corduroy road to travel to reach their final destination. (A corduroy road was a long series of small saw-logs laid side by side and were used deliberately over streches of swampy ground making it passable. The logs were laid in a pattern that reminded people of corduroy.) Edgar remembers that their father procured a canopy top three-seated wagon for the family, and a wagon for their numerous trunks. They reached their destination by going through 1/2 miles of woods to cleared land of about 100 acres to an ordinary log house, the first one they had ever seen. Edgar remembered the disappointment and the homesickness at the surroundings and he remembers all of the older children declared they would not live there.1,4 In the census of 7 August 1860 in Pulaski, Jackson County, Michigan, Ervine appears in the household of George C.
