                        Fancher Civil War Records Project

This Fancher Family Association project contains the records of the approximately 190 Fanchers who served during the Civil War, compiled from more than 20 different sources. The majority of these soldiers have been identified, but a few still remain unknown to us. Part of this project is to also identify where all of these soldiers are buried, and if there is a Civil War marker on their grave. Your assistance in providing any information you have regarding your Fancher Civil War ancestor will be greatly appreciated!

                                   
                                                             THE FANCHER TRAIN

"As many as 140 men, women, and children, traveling in one of the richest California bound wagon trains ever assembled, had been attacked, besieged for five days, persuaded to surrender under a flag of truce and a pledge of safe passage, and then murdered. According to contemporaneous accounts including the evidence presented at the trial of the one figure held legally responsible for the murders, John Doyle Lee, the attack on the train and the ensuing killings were carried out by a combined force of Paiute Indians and members of a local militia of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormons. Lee was an adopted son and longtime intimate and military commander of the Mormons' leader, Brigham Young, and the atrocity he was part of, known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre after the pastoral valley where the murders took place, was the worst in the annals of the West." (Sally Denton, American Heritage Magazine, October 2001)
