she was not pregnant. keep in mind that the term used during the 1800s was With Child. the term pregnant wasn't even used until early 1920s. keep in mind that Jennie wade did have a BF. His name was Jack Skelly. THEY were NOT secretly engaged but they were dating. He joined to fight for the union army in 1861 after the firing at Fort S. He will die from infection in a wound in his leg that he received during the 2nd battle of Winchester Virginia a few weeks prior to Gettysburg on July 12/13th. He is buried within the evergreen cemetery about 100 feet behind where Jennie Wade is buried today in the Skelly family plots.

That's stupid & came from Ghost Adventures, NOT reality.

I think her guy friend had been off for awhile fighting for a long time before they were both killed so unless she was getting around town . . . Also, she was quoted to say that if anyone in the house was killed that day she hoped it was her as her sister had her new baby to take care of. I doubt she would say that if she were pregnant herself
