  • Notes 
    • Leonard Dudley, along with his mother Betsy, brothers James and Thomas Sinclair, moved from Leon, N.Y. in about 1855 to Berlin,Wisconsin -- shortly after their father and husband Frederick died. They stayed in Wisconsin about two years and then moved to Sciota Township, Dakota County, Minnesota, southeast of present day Castle Rock, MN where they engaged in farming. The family was recorded in the 1860 Census having a mailing address of Castle Rock, MN. In July, 1862, all three brothers volunteered for military service in St. Paul, MN. They were part of the 8th Regiment, Company F, of the Minnesota Volunteers, a mounted infantry unit, which was being organized at the time and consisted, mostly, of volunteers from Goodhue, Dakota, and Scott counties. Since the Sioux Uprising of 1862 ensued shortly after their enlistment (the American Civil War was in its second year), and Minnesota was at that time the edge of the frontier, the 8th regiment was assigned to guard the frontier. Company F served at Princeton and Sunrise, Minnesota while other companies (or parts of companies) served at Fort Abercrombie, Mananah, Anoka, Monticello, Kingston, Paynesville, Fort Ripley, Sauk Centre, Alexandria, and Pomme de Terre. In May 24-28, 1864, the regiment assembled at Fort Ridgely, MN (near present day New Ulm, MN) under Colonel Minor T. Thomas to join the 2nd Brigade in a quest to punish the Sioux Indians. The Brigade marched west and joined General Sully's 1st Brigade from Sioux City, Iowa near the Missouri River in present day South Dakota. Engagements with the Indians ensued from June 5 - October 15, 1864 (in what is now North Dakota) at the Battle of Killdeer Mountain July 28, Battle of Two Hills, Bad Lands, and the Little Missouri in August 1864. Following what was considered a successful campaign against the Sioux, the 8th Regiment was transported via Chicago to Murfreesburo, TN to engage in the American Civil War.

      They engaged in the Siege of Murfreesboro, TN, December 5-12, Wilkinson's Pike December 7. (These battles also included Overall's Creek and Battle of the Cedars). The regiment moved to Clifton, TN and joined the 23rd Army Corp and fought in the battle of Stone River. They moved to Fort Fisher, N.C., thence to Morehead City and New Berne, N.C., February 21-26. They advanced on Kinston and Goldsboro March 1-21. They participated in The Battle of Wise's Fork March 6-9, which may have been called the Battle of Kinston. The occupation of Goldsboro occurred on March 21. There was the advance and occupation of Rawleigh April 10-14, Bennet's house April 26. There was duty at Rawleigh, Greensboro, and Charlotte, N.C. until July, 1865. Because of the two years spent on the American frontier and their experiences in Indian battles, they were known as the Indian Regiment and were highly praised by other Union forces. The unit suffered one officer and 26 enlisted men killed in action, and 56 enlisted men died of disease. The unit was discharged on July 11, 1865, in Charlotte, N.C. Leonard Dudley suffered wounds which pained him the rest of his life.

      Leonard Dudley, and his brothers, apparently returned to Dakota County, Minnesota. There is no record of this Noyes family in Dakota County in the 1870 U.S. Census. It is reported that he spent some time in California, probably 1877-1878. The family farmed in Shetek Township, Murray County, Minnesota, in the 1870s. Along with mother Betsy and brother Thomas Sinclair, the family moved via ox cart and covered wagon in July, 1882 to Ottertail County, Minnesota to engage in farming. Brother James remained in Murray County, Minnesota. Leonard Dudley died in Ottertail County of lung fever (pneumonia) and "pleurisy of the heart", December 18, 1892--two days after his mother died. He left seven young children. He was five feet nine inches tall, had blue eyes and brown hair. (submitted by great grandson, David M. Noyes.)
