It’s Family Time~In Remembrance of Martin Daniel Sides

 My 3rd Great Grand Aunt Esther Sides, born 1805, married Daniel Sides on 20 December 1823 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. To this union were born 12 children; 5 daughters and 7 sons.  Unfortunately, except for the youngest child who was a son, James, the other six were “of age to serve” when the Civil War began in January 1861. I do know that 3 of the 6 boys “of age” did serve in the Civil War and the youngest of these 3 did not survive the War.

In 3 documents I have the youngest of these serving called, Daniel M. Sides (1850 Census), Martin Sides (1860 Census) and Marion D. Sides (Civil War death note).

The 3 sons of Daniel and Esther that served were:

Christopher Sides, b. 1829> Company "C", 48th Regiment

Charles Daniel Sides, b. 1831> 5th NC Company I

Martin Daniel Sides, b. 1839> Company "C", 48th Regiment

Martin Daniel Sides enlisted on 1 August 1862. He died at Paris, Virginia of a “unnamed disease” on 30 October 1862.
