The Welsh of Blue Earth and Le
Sueur Counties, Minn. - Their Record in the War of the Rebellion
By William E. Williams
Our Welsh pioneers were patriots in the best sense of
the word. They loved their country dearly, not for personal gain or glory, but
for the grand principles of justice, liberty and equality on which it was
founded, and when slavery and disunion were threatening the very life of our
Republic in the dark days of the Rebellion the Cymri {sic: = Cymrÿ) were
among its first and most faithful defenders. In the quotas of men furnished the
Welsh towns were the banner towns of Blue Earth county. South Bend took the
lead during the first years of the war, furnishing nearly twice as many as
their proprtion required.During the lasst two years Butternut Valley, which had
been second, became the banner town of the county, which position it held to
the close of the Rebellion.
The first Welsh volunteer from the Welsh settlements
was Wm. D. Howells, of Judson, who enlisted May 24th, 1861,
in Company I, First Minnesota Regiment. The second volunteer was Isaac
Morgan, son of the late Richard Morgan, of Cambria, who enlisted May 24th,
1861, in Company E, Second Minnesota Volunteers. He rendered splendid service
on southern battlefields for four and one-half years and now lives in St.
Louis, Missouri.
The next to enlist were: Griffith J. Lewis, now
of Mankato {See Biographies 0850e); James Edwards, late of Cambria, Minn.,
and James P. Thomas, of Mankato. They served in Company B, Brackett's
Battalion {sic: = Batallion), and were a part of the Fifth Regiment, Iowa
Cavalry. They were nearly six years in active service. {http://dlwgraphics.com/BBvets.htm

Six Welsh boys joined the Fourth Minnesota, namely:
Sergeants Thomas Rees, eldest son to the old pioneer, John Rees, Lake
Crystal, and W. F. Jones, now of St. Peter, Minn. Privates John E. Jones,
Owen Davies, W. L. Jones and John Thomas. Sergeant Thomas Rees was
the first man from this section to fall in battle in the defense of the old
flag. He was mortally wounded at the siege of Vicksburg, Miss., and died June
20, 1863, at Memphis, Tenn., John E. Jones and Owen Davies died in 1893. W.L.
Jones lost an arm in the service. His present address is unknown. Two enlisted

_______________
The total number of our nationality enlisted for the
war from Blue Earth and LeSueur counties were sixty-six, an almost incredible
number, when we take into consideration that the country was new and sparsely
settled at that time. After the war several other old soldiers came into our
midst, and are worthy citizens of our community. Among the number are E. R. Jones,
Third Wisconsin Cavalry; John Lewis, Fourth New York Heavy Artillery; Wm.
Davies, United States Navy; John J. James, 146th New York
Infantry; E. T. Evans, Forty-Ninth Wisconsin Infantry; J. J. Edwards,
Thirty-Second Wisconsin; Tim Reese, Twelfth Wisconsin; Rev T. E. Hughes,
Twenty-Third Wisconsin.
All of these survivors are now on the decline of life,
and soon, very soon, the sun of their day will sink forever. They, as well as
those that lived in that dark and momentous period, are entitled to great
credit, not only for saving the nation but, also, for inspiring a genius and
energy that has made this, our country, the greatest government on earth. They
are entitled to credit because they swore in the light of high Heaven that not
one inch of the three million square miles that is beneath our starry banner
should be governed under any other.
Their reward are the welcoming plaudits of a grateful
and united nation. They won for our country renewed respect at home and abroad
and an unequaled era of growth and prosperity dawned with peace.
In relinquishing the implements of war for those of
peace, the glory they won as soldiers has been rarely dimmed by any improper
conduct as citizens.
The preservation of our flag and the free institutions
of our country was also the preservation of the Christian religion in it, as
much as it was of the liberties of the people. Soon, very soon, nothing but the
names of the heroes of that period will remain. But their deeds will be honored
as long as the stars and stripes wave over their graves.

During 1863
military posts were erected all over the frontier and expeditions were sent
after the hostile bands under Little Crow. In the fall of 1862 Dane's company
was removed from Camp Crisp to Judson village, where they remained until
spring. Traces of the fort they built are still visible. Thirty men of Company
K, of Ninth Minnesota, were quartered in Horeb church, Butternut Valley, from
February to May, 1863. The church not being large enough, a long shed was
erected in the rear and John Rees' residence moved and joined to it for a
kitchen. All the men in the western counties were organized into a state
militia and provided with military guns, equipment and ammunition.
_______________
South Bend and the east half of Judson formed Company E, Twentieth
regiment, Third brigade, First division, Minnesota State Militia, and the west
half of Judson and Butternut Valley were Company F of the same regiment. The
officers, commissioned February 7, 1863, were Company E - Capt., B. Y. Coffin;
First Lieutenant, D. D. Evans; Second Lieutenant, Edward Jones. Company F -
Captain, Jenkin Williams; First Lieutenant, David J. Williams; Second
Lieutenant, David J. Davis, Jr. In the fall, David J. Williams resigned his
commission to go to Illinois, and R. H. Hughes was elected to fill the vacancy.
Evan Jones (Indiana) was also commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Twenty
second regiment in Brown county, on February 3, 1863. September 23, 1863, Hon.
D. C. Evans was comissioned Brigadier General on the staff of Major General
Stephen Miller.
_______________
In spite of every precaution, Indians in small squads would make frequent raids
into the settlements to steal horses, killing whoever they met, during 1863-4
and 5. When on one of these raids Little Crow was killed July 3, 1863, by a
settler, named Lampson, three miles north of Hutchinson.
