RE: Mortimer Bainbridge Ruggles
An interesting post here. Lt. Mortimer Bainbridge Ruggles was actually half-yankee! His father Daniel Ruggles was from Barre Massachusetts (where I went to high school)
Daniel Ruggles married a southern lady, and took up the cause of the Confederacy. He was one of only a few Confederate Generals who was born in the north. Another one of note was General John C. Pemberton who surrendered Vicksburg to Grant. He was from Pennsylvania. The Ruggles were a prominent family in Barre. The elementary school there is called Ruggles Lane, has been for as long as I remember. A cousin of Daniel Ruggles married my G-G-G Grandparents in Barre back in 1852! Just a little tidbit  Craig |
