Private CHARLES FRANKLIN WALLACE, Co. H, 86th Illinois

Charles Franklin Wallace was born on ___________ __, 18__ (c. 1842/43 in Charleston, Penobscot County, Maine. Charles was very likely the son of Charles and Lydia (Blanchard) Wallace.

At the time of the 1850 census, the Wallace family is found in Lincoln, Penobscot County, Maine;
William Barnes M 46 Maine
Nancy J Barnes F 17 Maine
Noah Barnes M 12 Maine
Charles Wallace M 25 Maine
Lydia Wallace F 32 Maine
Charles Wallace M 6 Maine
Horace Wallace M 5 Maine

Charles Wallace Sr. may have died in the 1850's as Lydia and her two sons are found in Mackford, Green Lake County, Wisconsin at the time of the 1860 census;
Lydia Wallace F 51 Maine
Charles F Wallace M Laborer 17 Maine
Horace E Wallace M 15 Maine

(Note: Horace E. Wallace served in Co. B of the 9 Minnesota during the Civil War. He was captured and died in the prison at Andersonville, Georgia on December 30, 1864 at the age of 19 years, 7 months and 15 days. This would place his date of birth as May 15, 1845. His mortal remains were interred in the prison cemetery at Andersonville and almost certainly still buried there in an unmarked grave. However, there is a marker, most likely a cenotaph, for him in the Mackford Union Cemetery in Markesan, Green Lake County, Wisconsin. See his Find A Grave Memorial# 64812366.

Lydia Wallace was still living in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area at the time of her son, Charles', death in August of 1898. The newspaper report near the bottom of this biography states that "His mother, Aunt Lydia Wallace, now nearly ninety years of age, is still living at Chattanooga.

Now to continue with what we do know about Charles Franklin Wallace;
Whether Charles Wallace came down from Green Lake County, Wisconsin, which I believe is more likely, or whether he came directly to Illinois from Maine, by August of 1862, Charles Wallace was residing in or near the city of Peoria, Peoria County, Illinois. In August of 1862, Peorian David W. Magee, a veteran of the Mexican War, began recruiting a Peoria area company to serve in the Union Army during the Civil War. On August 6, 1862, Charles Wallace apparently went to Brimfield, Illinois, where David W. Magee was recruiting and volunteered to serve in Magee's Peoria area company.

When Magee had about 100 volunteers he and the men of his company went into camp at Camp Lyons, located near present day Glen Oak Park. Magee was slated to serve as Captain of his company, However, most likely because of his previous military experience, David W. Magee was elected to serve as the first Lieutenant Colonel of the 86th Illinois. The men of the Peoria area company, then elected John C. Hall to serve as their Captain. On August 27, 1862, Captain John C. Hall, along with 87 of Magee's Peoria area volunteers, including now Private Charles Wallace, were mustered into service as Company H of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
On September 7, 1862, the men of the 86th Illinois marched out of the gates of Camp Lyon, through the streets of Peoria, with much fanfare, down to the railroad depot. There they were joined by the men of the 85th Illinois, which had been mustered into service at Camp Peoria. Together at the depot, the men of the 85th and 86th Illinois boarded trains bound for Camp Joe Holt, located at Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. Three weeks later, the men of the 85th and 86th were in the field in Kentucky as part of Col. Daniel McCook's Brigade, in pursuit of Confederate troops. On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of McCook's Brigade were engaged with those troops in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the 86th Illinois suffering their first casualties. There would be many more in the next three years.
During the next three years, Private Charles Wallace would serve faithfully in Co. H as the men of the 86th served in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina. During this time, Charles was witness to and a participant in numerous battles and skirmishes, some of the bloodiest fighting in the Western Theatre of the war, including the Battles of Chicakamauga, Georgia; Resaca, Georgia; Rome, Georgia, Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia; Peach Tree Creek, Georgia; Jonesboro, Georgia; Averysboro, North Carolina; and Bentonville, North Carolina, to name a few and would march with Sherman to the Sea.
After the war came to a close, the men of McCook's Brigade marched on to Washington, D.C., where in May they marched down Pennsylvania Avenue on the 2nd day of the Grand Review. On June 6, 1865, Private Charles Wallace was there with the surviving members of the 86th Illinois when they were mustered out of service at Washington, D.C. They then were sent by train to Chicago, Illinois where they received their final pay and were discharged. By the end of June of 1865, most of the surviving members of the 86th Illinois where back home with their families in Central Illinois.
