Barclay (1801-1881), the daughter of Lt. Col. Hugh Barclay (1747-1807) and Hettie Fulton (1765-1819) of Bedford, Bedford county, Pennsylvania. When Hettie wrote this letter, she was a 60 year-old spinster living with her deceased brother's family in Bedford. Hettie's brother, Francis Baily Barclay, had been a prominent physician in Bedford. When he died in July 1851, he left a wife--Camilla (Bonnett) Barclay (1800- 1872)-and at least eight surviving children, including John Jacob Barclay (1832-1908) to whom she wrote these letters between 1859 and 1864. An older brother of John's named Richard \"DeCharms\" (or \"DeC\") Barclay (1836-1908)-a lawyer- is mentioned occasionally. So too another brother named Samuel (\"Sam\") M. Barclay (1831-1880)-a farmer in Bedford county-and his youngest sisters Emma (b. 1837) and Mary (b. 1841). \n\nBarclay studied law in Bedford and opened a law office in Fort Dodge, lowa, in 1856. With four others, he raised a cavalry company at Dubuque and brought it East where it became Co. A of the 11th Pennsylvania Cavalry. John served from August 1861 to September 1864 (3 years and one month), rising from 1st Sergeant to 2nd Lieutenant. He was badly wounded in his left side (carrying the bullet the remainder of his life) during the fight at Ream Station, Virginia, and was a prisoner of war from 29 June 1864 to 15 September 1864, after which he was mustered out of the service as a disabled veteran. \n\nHetty was a wise observer of American history who read extensively and watched with horror and disbelief as the bonds of the Union were ripped asunder by proud and uncompromising politicians. \"The border and slave states have played a deep game with their pretended compromises-all intended to lull the unsuspicious Free States into a false security. We have so honored them that this war seems with dear friends, & is truly terrible. But they have chosen for themselves. 'The die is cast,' and the government must be supported,\" she wrote her nephew. For her part, Hetty stepped up and organized the ladies of Bedford in September 1861 into an association to raise money and materials for knitting stockings to send the Pennsylvania troops before winter.
