Born David "Dund" Mondau on 18th May 1845 near Applebachville, he was trained as a potter in the Haycock Mountain workshop of his father, the noted Penna redware artisan, John E. Mondau or Mondeau.  With the sale of the pottery following the death of his father in 1862, David became a journeyman potter working in the shops of others in the area.   His grave is located in the yard of St. John the Baptist RC Cemetery.  While it can be read "David Mondeau PVT - Co C 10th Reg Vol - NJ", and his state veterans' burial card reads "Co C 10th NJ Cav", Stryker's "Record of Officers and Men of the New Jersey in the Civil War" records him as David Mondow, a private in Co G, who enrolled 30 Nov 1864 as a substitute for a year, and mustered our with the regiment on 1st July 1965.   Given these dates, it is believed he would have joined the NJ 10th in Washington, DC, as a replacement after the regiment's success in Sheridan's Shenandoah Valley campaign, in time to join the 1st Brigade, 1st Division of the VI Corps under Gen Horatio Wright for the Siege of Petersburg.  For the most part, it seems action at Petersburg was off to the east or west of their position.  That is, until the night of the 1st of April 1865, when they were ordered to sneak into no man's land. At first light, as the tip of the spear, charge the CSA fortifications, and cut through the lines of Gen A.P. Hill, winning the day in what became known as the Breakthrough at Petersburg.  With Lee's subsequent retreat, the 10th took part in the chase that pinned him down in Appomattox Court and was there on April 9th for Lee's surrender to Grant. He received honorable discharge July 1, 1865, signed by  Captain Frerick F. Farrier at Hall's Hill, VA, by reason of Special Order No. 158, headquarters Army Potomac, June 22, 1865. Curiously, his discharge paper list him as born in England and as a Seaman by occupation. The NPS sees fit to list his surname as Mondon and Mondan. After the war, David returned to Bucks County PA and the wheel and, in 1870, was found working in the Bridgeton pottery of Michael McEntee.  Eventually, he tried his hand as a cattle dealer and was engaged in that trade when he died on 25th May 1890, at St. Luke's Hospital, Bethlehem.  It was only after his death that his widow was granted a veteran's pension.   - Jasper Schaible III 2xGGS of Pvt David Mondeau.

Martin Miller was born on Feb 14th 1844 in New York City. He tryed to join twins with the New York regiments, but his mother found him eather before or after he enlisted. The third time he went over the river to New Jersey. Martin enlisted in the Company H Tenth New Jersey Infantry 'Olden's Legion' on Dec 1st 1861 at age 17 years 10 months. Martin was with the 10th New Jersey for the battle of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and other skirmishes.Then on August 17th 1864, at Strasburg. Martin was wounded in the leg and captured along with 7 offcers and 143 enlisted men. Martin along with his captain and a number of other were sent to Danville POW camp, then on Feb 22, 1865 he was sent to Libby prison. On Feb 24th he was paroled. He was hospitalized Annapolis Maryland and on Feb 28th received a 30 day leave. When he returned to his regiment on March 28th 1865 he was assigned to company I. I am not sure Martin participated in the Fall of Petersburg(Fort Fisher), but I am sure Martin was present at Lees surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. Martin was mustered out of service on June 22nd 1865. Over the 10th New Jersey invalvement in the Civil War the regiment lossed.....48 killed.....45 died of wounds.....257 wounded.....224 captured or were missing (60 of whom were recaptured). 190 died by accidents, or disease. The total is 290 men died from the 10th New Jersey in services of their Country . Martin after the war returned to New York City, and worked as a labor. He always mentioned the battle of Cold Harbor 'that Cold Harbor now that was a battle'. Martin was active in the GAR and went to seveal encampments. The wound that he reseived at Strasburg just got worse over the years. On Feb 24th 1909 he fell down the stairs and broke his ribs, and days later he died by disease.....I am now putting together my imformation on the 10th New Jersey, and I am now making a website from them.

Died December 19th, 1864 near Petersburg, VA.
