CIVIL WAR ROOTS OF
The Self, Davis & Smith Families

Return To: Self Menu Return To: Main Menu (Top)

Our Civil War Roots proceed from two distinct lines of descent. Line #1 is from Major David Washington Self, CSA. Line #2 is from Sergeant Horace Dumbleton, USA. Read below how these two lines are related to the Self, Davis and Smith families.

Civil War Line #1: Major David Washington Self and his brother, Captain Franklin Dawson Self, fought and commanded Company "B", 17th Louisiana Regiment, the "Sabine Rebels", Confederate States Army. We grandchildren of David Edgar Self are the fourth generation after Major David Washington Self, CSA and he is our great-great-grandfather.

Civil War Line #2: Sergeant Horace Dumblton was an infantryman fighting for the Union with Company "A", 32nd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment, United States Army. He joined up late in the war, from Metomen, Wisconsin. Isn't it curious that while our great great grandfather, Major David Washington Self, was fighting for the Confederacy, our great great grandfather, Sergeant Horace Dumbleton, was fighting for the Union? We grandchildren of David Edgar Self are the fourth generation after Sergeant Horace Dumbleton, USA and he is our great-great-grandfather.
