"17 Sons in War to Preserve Union-CARMAN WOMAN SHOWS Record of Grandfather--One fell at Shiloh-One Died in Anderson.
What is believed to be the record for service stars in one family during the war to preserve the Union without a doubt was held by Charles Brandon of West Virginia. He had seventeen sons in the Union army, one of whom fell at the Battle of Shiloh, one died in Andersonville Prison and the other fifteen survived the war.
A granddaughter of this rare old man is Mrs. G. W. Steckman of Carmen, the wife of a veteran of the Union army, and she treasures among her possessions a copy of the National Tribune of Washington , D. C. dated Sept. 4, 1890, in which appears the follwoing article.
The article credits the father with 35 sons and no daughters, which according to Mrs. Steckman is an error, her mother, Mrs. Rachael Bagley, being one of three daughters and sisters or half sisters of the 32 sons. The correction is made as it is quite likely that 32 sons is enought to the credit of any one person."
