In fact, a longer version is in my book, Hidden History of Connecticut Union Soldiers. Be well!

I was familiar with most of the details here through my own research, but it is great to see it put together in such an attractive and engaging manner. Nellie (Sarah Ellen) Browne was my great-great aunt, the older sister of my great grandfather, Edward Cox Browne. His wife, my great grandmother, Charlotte Crowninshield Browne (1868-1967), who I knew as a child, wrote in her memoirs that the Browne family "never recovered" from Nellie's death, and her father, Albert Gallatin Browne's health was forever compromised by his war time service in the South. Both Albert Gallatin Browne, and his wife, Sarah Smith Browne, returned to Salem, Mass. after the war, where they died within 3 weeks of each other in 1885. Tragic story for sure. The lovely material Nellie had ordered for her wedding dress has, however, had a happier ending and has been made into wedding dresses for several Browne family women, including my second cousin, Lindsey Cook Roth. Thank you again.
