Mathias and Anna Maschinot
Information comes from various sources, newspapers, census, marriage and burial records.
Mathias Maschinot was born January 1840 in Haspelschiedt, Departement de la Moselle, Lorraine, France, the son of Nicholas Petrus and Maria Maginot. He immigrated with his family arriving in 1850 to the United States. When the Civil War started he volunteered for the Union Army enlisting 9 Sep 1862 in the 4th Ohio Calvary, also known as the Cincinnati Union Dragoons.
Mathias' unit was organized August 5, 1861, for three years service, under Colonel John Kennett. In December joined General Mitchell in Kentucky. It led the advance on Nashville and the city was surrendered to Colonel Kennett by the Mayor. The Regiment pushed south with the army in the spring of 1862, and raided into Alabama, taking Decatur and Huntsville with many prisoners and supplies. It followed Bragg through Kentucky, and afterwards met with disaster, being surrounded by Morgan, losing over 200 men. It participated in the battles of Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, marched into East Tennessee and pursued Wheeler across the Tennessee River.
Mathias' regiment guarded railroads in Alabama until December 27, 1863, then re-enlisted as veterans, and in the spring of 1864 joined the 17th Corps in the Atlanta campaign. The Regiment raided in all directions about Atlanta, went with Stoneman south, and afterwards joined Kilpatrick. After the fall of Atlanta it proceeded to Nashville for re-equipment, taking part in the battle under under Thomas. It joined Wilson's raid to Selma, where the men dismounted and made a desperate charge over the works, carrying everything before them. In April it marched to Montgomery and then to Macon. Here it remained on guard duty until May 23, 1865, when it moved to Nashville and was mustered out the latter part of July, 1865.
Mathias returned to Dayton Ky. where his brother John was living and then made his life in Kentucky. He married Anna Jennewein in 1866 in Cincinnati. By 1870 he was living in Dayton working as a tailor.
