(line 140) went on to serve with the Union Forces in the Civil War. He
served in the famous Irish Brigade's 88th NY Infantry Captain
John C. Foley fought in every major battle and survived the war.
After the war, he married Mary Julia Morris on 5 Jun 1873 and they
had one son, William M. Foley, born on 19 April 1874. John C. Foley
died on 2 Feb 1905 in Charleston, S.C.
My grandmother, Charlotte Foley, married my grandfather, Dominic Burke,
stone carver, and they moved to a farm outside Appomattox VA in 1883.
They had four sons: Ambrose, Ulic, George (my father) and Carroll.
