The first child and only son of Henry Snyder Antes James [and his older cousin John] served in the Civil War. They appear to have enlisted together in Company G of the 13th Regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry Volunteers on August 12, 1862. James served until July 14 1865, was discharged from the Army of the Potomac in Raleigh, North Carolina.

There were other Antes relatives in the Civil War, and I believe there was more than one John. The Jersey Shore John [who] was James' cousin, was several years older, and was discharged as a sergeant. I have almost all of James' Civil War and pension records, but little direct on John.

Shortly after his marriage to Celstia the couple moved to Elmira, NY, where he died in
1924.945

It breaks off in 1863 since my son, who owns a copy, has not finished transcribing it.

I have lots of information about James' descendants, but less about Henry Snyder Antes. I believe him to be a son of John Henry Antes Jr., the son of the Colonel.2413
