I saw this post the other day and had to write something. “Farrow” as he was called, was the son of Elias Lewis and Lucinda Bare. Farrow had three brothers, who also served in the Civil War.<br /><br />1: Leander “Lee” Bare who served in Co. A, 26th NC Inf. And was KIA at Gettysburg, PA. July 1, 1863.<br /><br />2: Absolom Bare who served in Co. A, 37th NC Inf. He was MIA before the Battle of the Wilderness which took places on the 5-6 of May 1864. I read that he was seen by his first cousin Jesse Bare, but was never heard from again. I found he later served in the 97th NC Militia until injured in 1864.<br /><br />3: Hamilton “Little Ham” “Slicky” Bare as in this article was born in May 1841. He served in Co. A, 37th NC Inf. He deserted on May 19th 1863 and returned to duty on Sep. 1st 1863. He was taken POW at Petersburg, VA on April 2nd 1865 and sent to Point Lookout, where he was held until paroled on oath on June 23rd 1865.<br /><br />Farrow Bare was was also taken as a POW at Gettysburg, PA on July 4-5th 1863. He was sent to Fort Delaware on July 7th 1863, and then to Point Lookout on Oct. 15-16 1863. He was paroled on Feb. 18th 1865, and exchanged on Feb 21st 1865 at Boulware's Wharf. James River, VA. Shortly after the war in December of 1865, Farrow married Rebecca Sheets. Five years later in October of 1870, Farrow was killed in a shooting accident at Cicero Bare's House. Alot of this family was burried in Freel Bare Family Cemetery, near Wagoner, Ashe County, North Carolina. I think Freel was short for their brother Freeland Bare.<br /><br />Damian RippbergerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
