James
Coyne (born around 1828) and Martha
Snow (born around 1834).....I know very little about these
two. I first discovered their existence around 1999. I
know nothing of their married life, although one might wonder
if it was full of strife. I have in my possession copies of
some of James' Civil War records. Soon, I will scan those &
post them on the site. I also have copies of court papers when
Martha applied for a Widow's Pension.
She went through alot, based on these papers, trying to prove
that James was dead, in order
to qualify.
They were married on September 25, 1854, at the residence of
his uncle, also named James Coyne, of Irvington, NJ. Both born
in Ireland, in Roscommon County; they are the parents of :
