I was born and raised in New Windsor, NY and graduated from Newburgh Free Academy. Our home was on the parcel of land originally tendered to the Weygants as were the homes of our relatives. My grandfather's name was Charles Weygant and I am directly related to Col. Weygant. We have direct relatives (Weygant family) who were part of each major War (Revolution, Civil, WWI, WWII, Korean, VietNam) that America has fought except for the Gulf War and perhaps the War of 1812. The family burial site of this side of the family is in Woodlawn Cemetery in New Windsor, NY. What I find interesting, though, is the photo of Col. Weygant. I have always wanted to see just what he looked like. Thank you. This is very interesting to me!

I have what my father believes to be the Col's Cavalry Sword. I cannot confirm if this is accurate, but I'm trying to find out more. We have a great deal of history in the family bible, which goes into great detail about the col's life and history. I am a direct descendant as well.

See Robert K. Krick's book "The Smoothbore Volley That Doomed the Confederacy." Hey email me would love to discuss our Weygant background!

A group of Confederate horseman mistakenly road upon Colonel Weygants men one night. Colonel Weygant and his men fired a few shots at the stunned Confederates who wheeled around and headed for the woods. The next day Stonewall was heard to have suffered a shot to the back. He indeed was nearby....Do you think Weygant's men or Weygant himself fired the fatal shot when Stonewall road upon who he thought were his own men?....My Grandmother is Esther Weygandt of Ohio.

Weygant. Can you tell me the names of the other two gentlemen in the Civil War article. Is the second photo Col. Weygant as an older man? I visited Newburgh Historical Society and could not find any photos of Col. Weygant, even though he was the mayor of Newburgh after the war. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated as he had a remarkable life. Thank you. I enjoyed reading your article and the book by Col. Weygant.

Had I known, I would have asked you to write the introduction to our reprint of his regimental history (thanks for using the cover image). Thanks for sharing that with us. Eric Chris,
