Thomas Donahue Joins the U.S. Army, 1st Division, Artillery, Co. G




Compiled enlistement records, U.S. Army, from the National Archives. Thomas Donahue is recorded as enlisting May 15, 1845, in Bangor, Maine.




The following link will open a file detailing a subject that has me more than intrigued at the moment. It regards Thomas Donahue and how he came to join the Army. This needs to be discussed with other distant family members that I have connected with. It is quite possible that the man may have entered the New World in Quebec, Canada, as one distant family member has suggested. Canada was always the most inexpensive route of travel for new emigrants from any place in Europe. It is quite possible that the records for such will be found someday.

In the meantime, I suggest the following possibility. Follow the link to my version, still unproved.
