Has anyone come across the name of Joseph Allord
There is a letter written to Riggs in June 1865 from this soldier of the 6th Regiment, he is in Montgomery Alabama when he is writing the letter. The letter is in Dakota. He is asking Riggs about 5 of the Dakota scouts that are in the lake Traverse area, wonders if they are being treated ok by military.
Is there a roster of the 6th MN Vol, 16th army Corp 2nd Division?
Thanks in advance.

History of the 6th MN- www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfmList of soldiers in this unit- www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfmThere is a Joseph Alord/ Allord, who I am guessing is your guy. I use this site a lot. Very easily searchable either by regiment or soldier. Sorry, I see that the links don't work. You will need to choose "MN" and "6". You can leave the other boxes blank. There is a link at the bottom of the page to access the list of soldiers.

hermin1, I think you are referring to the NebraskAccess link for Heritage Quest? I tried that already. There were a few Joseph Allord's, all white, after 1865. Most were from Canada.
Sara, maybe one of our members with ancestry.com will look up his military record there under Civil War Service Records.
I can safely say he did not end up at Sisseton. I did not find him on the MN censuses and don't think he was at Santee either. I would try searching all of the Indian censuses at ancestry.com.
Sara, I also wonder if he was related to Michael Allard who appears on Brown's scout's list? The names seem so alike. Allord/ Allard?

I did find him in the trial records. He was acquitted. Said he was not at mosty of the battles but did kill a Chippewa woman.
Two Stars says he he is one of those who started for the Chippewa country before the outbreak.
It would be great if someone could look him up at Ancestary.com
I am thinking he was related to the Renvilles. I believe he was French/Dakota possibly from Canada.
There are alot of Allords from Canada. Thanks, sara

In the Missouri Fur Trade Ledgers which are posted here, in the accounts at Big Stone Lake in 1845, there is a Pierre Allard listed under some Renville's. Joseph's daddy?
vicky: I don't know about Joseph, but I found a Pierre allard was born 1805 in the Red VerColony at Pembina. His wife was Louise vivier(b. 1813). they had a t least a daughter named Genevieve(b. 1831), who married Gaspard Gorneau on January 23, 1938 at Pembina, ND.
Sara might try looking at the 1850 Minnesota Territorial Census , and the 1860 Minnesota census. Try typing in 1850 Minnesota Teritorial Census . Yshe should be able to find a website that has the census.
