Hi Wikitreers,
When you think you have seen it all with most U.S. Civil War vets stories here is an intriguing one!
Per article “…deserted her over three years ago because he could not stand her cooking,…” but was it really over the cooking?
We need collaboration in connecting Pvt Joel B. Burdick
Thank you
Note: per familysearch bio shows father was John Burdick. He was born on 3 April 1833, in New York, United States, his father, John W Burdick, was 28 and his mother, Phebe Kinsley, was 25. He married Christianna Roe on 28 November 1855, in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. They were the parents of at least 2 sons. He lived in Templeton, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States in 1860 and Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey, United States in 1880. He died on 18 November 1921, in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota, United States, at the age of 88.
the articles mention him as a Jr.
possible conflation needs research
Most likely this Joel B Burdick and not Civil War Joel B Burdick
