Military Monday: William Dakins

Posted on 21 May 2012by Brian Zalewski

My wife’s 3rd-great-grandfather, William J Dakins, passed away on April 18, 1916. He participated in the Civil War with Company 1, 17th Wisconsin Infantry and according to his obituary below, “he was with Sherman on the famous march to the sea and through the Carolinas and participated in many engagements of Sherman’s great campaign.”

I started genealogy research about mid-1999. My grandfather had passed away in April of that year. Since then Iâ€™ve done a lot of research not only for myself, but for friends and other relatives. In 2006, I married the love of my life, Darcy, and welcomed the birth of our daughter, Aerissa Jean, in 2010 and our son, Xander Lee, in 2012. I canâ€™t wait to tell them stories about all of their ancestors.
