Bixby five sons tale questioned by Barton findings
Rev William E Barton presents new research challenging the common claim that Mrs Lynn Bixby of Boston lost five sons in the Civil War. He and Daniel General Schouler provide detailed records showing only two of the Bixby boys died in service, while others survived or pursued alternate paths. The piece traces the Bixby line from Puritan ancestors, lists the fates of Georg(e) Way Bixby and Edward Bixby, and notes that Lincoln’s letter was based on incomplete information.
