Obituary Online notes for Vincent Govain (Spouse 1)
Vincent Govain Ingle married Mary Adline Ingle, his cousin on Nov 18,1850 in Greensboro, Guilford, NC at the Brick Church founded by his Ingle ancestors. He was the son of John Ingle born 7 Jan 1778 in Greensboro, Guilford, NC and Betsy Coble born about 1800 in Greensboro, Guilford, NC.

Vincent and Mary had six children: Franky Adline Ingle born 9 Jan 1853 in Greensboro, Guilford, NC. Prior records have shown her name as Mary Adeline Ingle, but the pension record her mother filed for Vincent recorded her name as Franky, after an aunt, and Adeline, after her own mother. Second child was John Thomas Ingle born Nov 1853 in Greensboro, Guilford, NC. Third child was Anthony Ingle born 5 April 1855 in Indiana. William A. Ingle born Feb 1856 in Indiana. Fifth child was Rufus Nebraska Ingle born 2 April 1859 in Prairie City, Cumberland, IL. Sixth child was Marion Columbus Ingle born Feb 1862 in Prairie City, Cumberland, IL.

Vincent Ingle served with the Union Army, Company D, 97th Illinois Infantry. He enlisted 12 August 1862 in Prairie City. His term was to be for three years. He was immediately sent to Vicksburg, MS where he caught the measles and died from the disease. For a short while he was interred in Vicksburg, but soon the Army removed all the soldiers' bodies and made their final resting place Young's Point in Madison Parish, Louisiana, just over the border from Vicksburg.

Mary filed a widow's pension and it was granted. She never remarried, and continued to raise her family in Prairie City, Cumberland, IL. She died 11 Oct 1906 and was buried in Jewett Cemetery in Cumberland County, IL. I am Vincent and Mary's great-great-great-granddaughter.

( SUVCW Note: The information regarding moving Vincent from Vicksburg to Youngs Point would not be likely since Vicksburg is the National Cemetery and all bodies were moved there, so it is more like the reverse of this is true and he is buried at Vicksburg. He is one of many unknowns at Vicksburg National Cemetery)

Information regarding Vicksburg National Cemetery:

Established in 1866 by an act of Congress, Vicksburg National Cemetery has the largest number of Civil War interments of any national cemetery in the country. More than 17,000 troops are buried in Vicksburg National Cemetery, the largest Union cemetery in the nation.

Of these burials, the identity of almost 13,000 soldiers and sailors are unknown. The cemetery also protects the final resting place of a significant number of United States Colored Troops that served with distinction in the Civil War. In addition to the Civil War soldiers, veterans of the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean conflict are buried here. The cemetery has been closed to new reservations since 1963.

So, his remains were probably removed to Vicksburg National Cemetery, and are part of the 13,000 remains moved there unidentified.
