Notes

Note: 1838 BIRTH: 1850 Census of Noble Township, Jay, Indiana, shows that he is 12 years old and born in New York. Declaration for pension states birthdate and
birthplace as Burdett, Tompkins, New York.
1861 MILITARY: According to his grandson, John Wilbur Wheat, Wilber Clymer served in the Civil War. He was in a fight and hit a man in the head with an ear of corn. Thinking he killed him, he ran off and joined the Union army under an assumed name. While driving a caison, a horse (was shot?)& fell on him, injuring his leg & ribs. He left the service, and re-enlisted when he had recuperated. Our only records of his service are from the second enlistment, where he served as a private in Company I, 152nd Regiment of the Ohio National Guard. According to his grandson John Wilbur Wheat, during Clymer's first service (perhaps under the name of Brown), he fought at Lookout Mountain, TN, and the Siege of Vicksburg.
1864 MILITARY: Served as a private in Company I, 152nd Regiment of the Ohio National Guard. For a very helpful regimental history, see Clifton M. Nichols, A Summer Campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, in 1864: "One Hundred Days" (Four Months and Two Days) of Soldier Life with the 152d Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry (Springfield, Ohio: New Era Company, Printers, 1899). Perkins Library, Box 90183, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0183. The Flowers Collection, Call Number 973.7377 N617S 433834.
June 1864 MILITARY SERVICE: A.P.L. Cochran, "The 152d, In The Hunter Raid," [from the Springfield Republic], in Clifton M. Nichols, A Summer Campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, in 1864: "One Hundred Days" (Four Months and Two Days) of Soldier Life with the 152d Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry (Springfield, Ohio: New Era Company, Printers, 1899), pp148-15
"We were put into Colonel Wells's brigade of General Sullivan's division of Hunter's army, reaching lexington at 9 o'clock on the evening of the 11th, the advance having on the forenoon of the same day attacked and taken the place. We rested on Sundayon a hill overlooking the camp, having a fine view of the burning of the Military Institute and adjoining residences occupied by the professors in the institution. The institute was built of brick, the front being plastered and lined so as to resemble stone. It was of large and elegant proportions, and built in the Gothic style of architecture. It was a sad sight to witness the destruction of such a beautiful specimen of American talent and handicraft; and nothing could reconcile the mind to the loss bu the fact that out of those burning portals the rebels had been wont to lead their youths, with minds and hearts educated to combat, to destroy those glorious institutions through whose fostering care American talent had been so developed as to enable it to plan and rear such tasteful structures.
"Whilst at Lexington we visited the grave of that great but erring chieftain, Stonewall Jackson. A simple flag pole marks the spot where he lies. A rebel flag had floated from its head previous to Hunter's arrival. When he enterd the town the retreating rebels lowered the flag and took it with them." Cochran, 152-153.
"On reaching Fincastle, the mayor of the town moved out under the flag of truce to surrender the place. What the conditions were we do not know, nor do we think any in the command stopped to ascertain; matters of more importance were occupying our minds at that time.
"Our course led us by the Sweet Springs of Virginia. The building acommodations here are the finest I have ever seen, and kept in perfect order. The grounds in themselves have no particular attractions. The water has a peculiar taste, slightly sweet, and warm and unpleasant. We lay here one night." Cochran at 155. John Marc Wheat has inherited a large, silver fork that his great-great-grandfather Wilber Morehous Clymer brought back from the Civil War. It is stamped "Sweet Springs," and has been used for many years as a serving fork at family gatherings. More information on Sweet Springs is contained in Perceval Reniers, The Springs of Virginia: Life, Love, and Death at the Waters 1775-1900 (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1961) 22, 26, 30, 37, 41, 45, 46, 48, 55, 62, 86, 93, 97, 99, 102, 122, 149-151, 167, 170, 179, 186, 198, 227, 261, 271, 277, 278. A sketch done of Sweet Springs by Miss Christiana Bond in 1868 appears opposite page 228.
