'I'm hoping he's on the right side of history.' - BradleyWhitford
Bradley Whitford Uncovers His Family's Role in the Civil War | NBC's Who Do You Think You Are?, actor Bradley Whitford makes a surprising discovery: that his great-great-grandfather was a Union soldier in the Civil War. And not just his great-great-grandfather: his two great-great-uncles, as well.is a show in which celebrities, with the help of genealogists, track their family lineages and make discoveries—often shocking ones.
Frederick New was Whitford's great-great-grandfather. He enlisted into the Union army when he was 29 years old on August 14,1862 for three years. New volunteered to fight in the war; he wasn't drafted. Documents showed that Frederick's brothers, John New and Valentine New, also enlisted into the army, both on August 14, 1862. They were 21 and 26, respectively.
Later, Whitford muses,"That must be an intense [thing, enrolling into the army]. I have two brothers. Walking in the same day." Dr. Joseph Beilein confirmed that was actually common: for brothers to all go together to sign up for the army.Watch
