Thomas Childs, Father of Lt. Col. Frederick L. Childs, CSA, Also At Fort Casey

After proofreading the last post, it dawned on me that Brig. Gen. Thomas Childs, who closed Fort Casey, was the father of Confederate Lt.Col. Frederick L. Childs who commanded the Fayetteville Arsenal in North Carolina during the war.

I have written a lot about him in my Saw the Elephant Civil War blog.  Go to the site and click on Frederick Childs to find out more about him.
