Notes
a. Note:   The family legend is that Frederick immigrated to the U.S. in 1856 from Germany at the age of 12 with his parents (unknown). His parents died at sea from fever. Frederick had one brother and one sister (also unknown). These children were placed in an orphanage in New York upon arrival in the U.S. His name upon entry to the U.S. may have been Friedrich Wilhelm, however as of this writing, no confirmation has been made.
  Ancestry.com list a Fredrick Williams in the AIS 1860 census, New York County, NY, 22 W. Nyc Div. 1, page 36. This Frederick is listed as ID# NY584150700, and is the only Fredrick in the New York County census.
  It is documented that on December 29, 1863, Frederick enlisted into the Union Army at age 19. His enlistment papers show that he enlisted within the 6th district of the city of New York, New York. Enlisting for a period of 3 years, he reported to Riker's (Staten?) Island, NY on January 6, 1864 and is shown as having blue eyes, brown hair, having fair complexion and being 5' - 5" in height. Riker's Island, in East River, New York, N.Y.; part of Bronx Borough; is now occupied entirely by a large penitentiary.
  Company Muster Roll's show Frederick served as a private in Company "L" of the 11th regiment, New York Calvary, known as Scott's 900. This company's recruitment area was New York City, Buffalo, Canton, Lewis and Westport, New York. Colonels for this unit were James B. SWAIN and John P. SHERBURNE.
  It appears as if Frederick received a new recruit "bounty" paid by the U.S. Army every two months. The Company Muster-out Roll dated September 30, 1865 in Memphis, TN shows he was paid $180 to date and was due $120.
  He settled in West Tennessee (Carroll County) around 1877 and became a farmer. It is said that he tried to locate his brother and sister to no avail. He settled on a 30 acre tract of land (13th Civil District; Carroll County) owned by D. S. Laws. These 30 acres were bordered by Alex Brando to the North; John W. Sellars on the West; and the Marian Ranch on the South. This land was deeded to Frederick in 1906.
  Frederick and Margarett are buried in Westport, TN., in Sellars Cemetery.
