Indiana: 1860’s -- William S. McAninch, of Hendricks County, served as Corporal and Sergeant |
in the 18th Indiana Artillery Battery, from August 1862, to their return home in June, 1865. He was |
born Mar. 5, 1835, in Hendricks County, youngest son of Samuel and Polly (Skidmore) McAninch, |
grand-son of Daniel McAninch, of Kentucky. On Feb. 1, 1859, William married Mary M. Johnson, |
in Hendricks County, Indiana, and they belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church in Coatesville, |
Hendricks County. Together, they had six children, with the first two daughters born in Indiana; |
after the war, they moved to Iowa (Keokuk County, 1865, then Ringgold County); William died on |
4 Jan.. 1901, and is buried in Oralabor Cemetery, Ankeny (north of Des Moines), Polk Co., Iowa. |
The 18th Indiana Artillery was organized and lead by Capt. Eli Lilly, who later founded the |
world-famous drug company in Indianapolis, after the war. During the war, the 18th fought mostly |
in Tennessee (Stone River, Chickamauga); the 18th went with Sherman to Atlanta, returning with |
General Thomas, and fought at Nashville and Franklin. One of the books about the 18th mentions |
William twice, as Sergeant of the fourth detachment at Chattanooga, March 1863 (p.185), and as |
[gun] sergeant again in Middle Tennessee, Nov. 1864, on their way to the battle at Franklin (p.235) |

Ireland: “Celtic”, from Keltoi, Greek. “Herodotus, who had given the Celts their name “Keltoi”, |
didn’t speak highly of them because the name translates to “Worrisome, meat-eating savages” from |
.ke-el.-.to-o.i, oke-eli-ito-ohi: okela (meat) elikatu (to nourish) itoaldi (worrisome) ohil (savage). |
Julius Caesar, who was in close contact with the real Keltoi, supplied us with many Keltic names in |
his book “Conquest of Gaul” and not a single one of them can even remotely be considered related |
to Gaelic; they are all made up with the use of the Ogam formula and all can be translated with the |
Basque dictionary.” Edo Nyland, B.C. Canada <http://www.islandnet.com/~edonon/literary.html>. |
Massachusetts: Scotch-Irish Warning Outs in Boston: “Boston Record Commissioners Report #13” |
“Anno 1719: Persons arriving from Ireland ye 9th of June vizt.: ... [list includes] ... Andrew |
Pernis Cooper, John Maccanis [sic] & wife & 3 children, John Henderson & wife & 5 children, |
William Miller & wife & 4 children, John Criton & one maid, John Severwrit, Francis Grey & wife |
with 3 children, were on the 13th of June warned to depart.” |
By the time the ships of Scots-Irish arrived in 1718, the towns around Boston had been settled for |
nearly 100 years, so, many new immigrants were “warned out” almost immediately, so that they did |
not become “public charges”. Found at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist>, Scotch-Irish-L [list]. |
