Family of Margaret FreyIn-laws to ClirehughsID Name Key DatesIn 1850 was a musician.Watchmaker. Family story: He repaired the clock in St.Phillips Episcopal Church, Charleston, but when unpaidhe removed a piece so it quit working. [Not sure who thisstory belongs to, some older notes ascribe it to CharlesHeuer.]In 1861 and 1862 a Joseph J. B. Frey (father or son, notsure which) was a Private in the Charleston ZouaveCadets, a part of the South Carolina Militia. Formed in1860 for military and social purposes, they did not appearon a battlefield. They garrisoned Castle Pinckney, a fortin Charleston Harbor, when SC seceded. After the FirstBattle Of Bull Run, 21 July 1861, Federal prisoners ofwar were housed there and the Cadets were their jailers.They established an amiable association with theprisoners.A Joseph J. B. Frey was a 1st Sergeant in the 16thRegiment SC Militia, Jackson Guards, CharlestonDistrict, 1861–1863.In June 1863 Joseph J. Frey received a pass from the 8thArmy Corps Provost Marshall in Winchester, VA to takehis family to New York; good for 3 days.He had Pass #87 dated 3-24-1865 from the Departmentof the South, Provost Marshall in Hilton Head, SC “topass anywhere within the lines of this Department . . .good until April 30th, 1865.”An undated letter of recommendation from a retiredtelegraph officer: “Mr. Frey was for a long time in my . . .one of my most trusted and reliable men. . . . Mr. Freyhas been particularly unfortunate in having his propertythere [South Carolina] destroyed by fire. He isindustrious, ambitious, and faithful and has no badhabits.”Made telegraphic equipment and held several patents. In1870 Frey, Joseph J.B. of 213 Church St., New York,made a Self-closing key. With A. Illig. Might this beAugust Illing who lived with his family? The ChurchStreet address is a few blocks from the family’s residenceon Hudson Street.NOTE: I am not positive that the man buried inEvergreens Cemetery is the first Joseph Frey. It seemslikely except for the 1880 census listing his wife as awidow. My uncle has a deed in Joseph J. B. Frey’s nameto this lot.Revision: 2/27/2008 Page 3 of 21C:\Data\Genealogy\Clirehugh\Frey\Family of Margaret Frey.doc

The Confederate States ofAmerica were formed 2-9-1861. Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as 16th President of the US on 3-4-1861. On 4-12-1861 the Civil War began with the firing on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor byConfederate soldiers; it was captured two days later.The Charleston Zouave Cadets were formed in 1860 for military and social purposes. The Cadets were avolunteer militia company attached to the 1st Regiment of Rifles of the South Carolina Militia. Manymembers were barely more than boys. They garrisoned Castle Pinckney, a fort in Charleston Harbor, assoon as SC seceded. After the First Battle Of Bull Run (Manassas), 21 July 1861 Federal prisoners of warwere housed first in the Charleston Jail, then in the fort; prisoners, around 156 of them, were from the79th New York Regiment, the 69th New York Regiment, the 8th Michigan Infantry, and the 11th FireZouaves, the last recruited from New York City's Fire Department. The Charleston Zouave Cadets,while maintaining strict discipline, had an amiable association with their prisoners.“The prisoners did volunteer work of various kinds, shared the same food as their guards, and taught theCharleston Zouaves the preferred army method of softening HARDTACK. They created the "CastlePinckney Brotherhood," which established a pattern for living, including rules for cleanliness andprovisions for entertainment, and the Charleston Zouaves helped in the brotherhood's activities.” from“Castle Pinckney, Silent Sentinel Of Charleston Harbor” by Rogers W. Young and published in TheSouth Carolina Historical And Genealogical Magazine of January 1938.http://www.zarvona.com/Historical%20Society%20Castle%20PICKNEY.htmAlthough their prisoners had been returned to Virginia for exchange by the end of October 1861, theCharleston Zouave Cadets continued to serve as a garrison at Castle Pinckney, where they drilled daily atthe heavy guns, and gained valuable experience as artillerists.Joseph J. B. Frey was a Private in the Charleston Zouave Cadets. The Zouave Cadets did not appear on abattlefield. The unit disbanded in February 1862, some members joining the Confederate Army.Revision: 2/27/2008 Page 17 of 21C:\Data\Genealogy\Clirehugh\Frey\Family of Margaret Frey.doc

Family of Margaret FreyIn-laws to ClirehughsThe city of Charleston withstood efforts to invade and conquer it. The first major Federal effort to takethe city was the Battle of Secessionville on 6-16-1862. It was fought on nearby James Island and met withdefeat by the Union.The first Civil War prisoners in Charleston were those from the first Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas) inJuly 1861. These were the ones housed in Castle Pinckney. The prisoners from the Battle ofSecessionville in June 1862 were, according to her daughter's letter, the ones aided by Margaret Frey.In Charleston virtually every military operation by either side involved the navy including the first largescale use of ironclad vessels in an assault on forts, the first submarine attack, and extensive blockaderunning activities.In February 17–18, 1865 Charleston was evacuated in the face of General Sherman’s nearby land forcesand of naval forces north and south of the harbor. A week later the city was described as “little more thana heap of ruins.” On 4-9-1865 General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate Army to GeneralUlysses S. Grant. Three days later President Lincoln was assassinated. The remaining Confederate forcessurrendered in May. The war was over—after more than 620,000 deaths in battle and over twice thatmany deaths from disease.The Flight from Charleston, SC During the Civil WarMargaret Bonheur Frey was driven from her home in Charleston in retaliation for helping Union officerscaptured in the 6-18-1862 Battle of Secessionville (fought on James Island, near Charleston) andimprisoned in Charleston Jail. I have pieced the following account from the archives and the census.• There are letters of gratitude from prisoners in the Frey archives, the earliest is dated 8-12-1862.• She received a passport dated 5-12-1863 to leave Charleston to Richmond, VA.• Joseph J. Frey had a pass dated June 1863 from the 8th Army Corps Provost Marshall inWinchester, VA to convey his family to New York via the Martinsburg Road. (See the discussion ofWinchester below.)• A letter, undated but likely August 1925, by Margaret Frey Clirehugh saying “I have the passport themayor gave her to leave Charleston . . . I also have the pass for our family from Winchester toMartinsburg where we met the Union troops.”• J. J. B. Frey had Pass #87 dated 3-24-1865 from the Department of the South, Provost Marshall inHilton Head, SC “to pass anywhere within the lines of this Department . . . good until April 30th,1865.” This indicates Joseph went back to SC after escorting his wife to New York.• The NYC Directory for 1869 reports Margaret Frey living in NYC at 176 Hudson Street.• The 1870 Census reports Margaret Frey living in NYC at 174 Hudson Street with children Joseph,Margaret, and Albert and 18-year old Florence (who may have been Joseph’s wife).Winchester is in northern VA, northeast of Washington, DC and about 40 miles southwest ofMartinsburg, WV. Winchester was likely the northernmost city in the Confederacy. Winchester'slocation was the hub of key roadways linking the Ohio Valley to the eastern United States coastal plains.Sitting just south of the Potomac River, Winchester lay on the only route between the east and westernUnited States with direct connections to Washington, DC.Winchester was a base of operations for several Confederate incursions into the Northern United States, attimes threatening the Federal capital city. Winchester also served as a central point for troops conductingRevision: 2/27/2008 Page 18 of 21C:\Data\Genealogy\Clirehugh\Frey\Family of Margaret Frey.doc

As Confederate Lieutenant General Richard S.Ewell moved down the Shenandoah Valley in the direction of Pennsylvania, his corps defeated the UnionArmy garrison commanded by Major General Robert H. Milroy, capturing Winchester and numerousUnion prisoners.The Freys likely traveled to New York by train. Certainly my mother said they left Charleston by train.Telegraph and Joseph FreySamuel F. B. Morse conceived of an electromagnetic telegraph in 1832 and constructed an experimentalversion in 1835. In 1840 he patented (#1,647) Morse Code, an electronic alphabet. The first trulypractical system was constructed in 1844. His patent #6,420 dated May 1, 1849 was for a TelegraphRegister.South Carolina's first telegraph company was authorized by the General Assembly in 1847. In February1848, lines connected South Carolina to the North. By April, a line reached New Orleans.The Pacific Telegraph Act of 1860 was signed by President James Buchanan to construct atranscontinental telegraph line of copper wire. The sole bidder was Hiram Sibley, owner of The WesternUnion Telegraph Company. The Pacific Telegraph line was completed October 1861. And the PonyExpress was doomed.The following is an excerpt from “American Telegraph Instrument Makers, 1837–1900”(http://www.telegraph-office.com/pages/roger.html)Frey, Joseph J.B., 213 Church St., New York, 1870-, Self-closing key With A.

It came into existence in the 12th century as theMargraviate of Baden and subsequently split into different lines, which were unified in 1771. It becamethe much-enlarged Grand Duchy of Baden, a sovereign country, through the dissolution of the HolyRoman Empire in 1803–1806. It joined the German Empire in 1871, remaining a Grand Duchy until1918 when it became part of the Weimar Republic.The ruler first became known as the Grand Duke of Baden in 1806.

Mannheim issituated at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers, in the northwestern corner of modern Baden-Württemberg.NassauNassau was first a town founded in 915 in the lower Lawn river valley of what today is Germany. Themodern state encompassing the city is Rhineland-Palatinate.The state of Nassau was formed within the Holy Roman Empire. After an initial division in 1255,Nassau became a united duchy again in 1806. In 1866 it was annexed by Prussia and incorporated intothe province of Hesse-Nassau.Margaret Anne Frey is believed by her descendants to have married a son of Heinrich Friedrich Karl vomund zum Stein, the famous Baron vom Stein; this is in doubt because I have not found any record of a sonof this man. The Baron was a German statesman. His family belonged to the order of imperial knights ofthe Holy Roman Empire. The family seat lies in the center of the town, the so-called Steinische Hof,which is today still in the possession of the descendants of the Baron.PrussiaThe Kingdom of Prussia was an independent kingdom from 1701 until 1867 or 1871. It became thelargest constituent kingdom of the united German Empire until its dissolution in 1918 at the end of WWI. It was predominantly a northern and eastern German state. Baden did not become a part of Prussiauntil after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.Le HavreLe Havre is a city in Normandy, northern France, on the English Channel, at the mouth of the Seine. Itwas the port-of-call for French ocean liners making the Transatlantic crossing. Le Havre, known as “LaPorte Océane”, is the second largest city in Normandy after Rouen and is the second largest export port inFrance.The port of Le Havre was mainly used by emigrants from southern Germany during the period fromabout 1830 to 1870. One sea route was Le Havre to NY, another Le Havre to New Orleans. I have as yetto find a route to Charleston.Harbers FamiliesI have been unable to determine much information about the family of John Harbers who married RosaHeuer.
