This is my great-grandfather, enlisted Sept. 26, 1864, mustered out Sept. 6, 1865.

I have my great, great, great grandfather's memoir and it is very descriptive, including his capture at Sterling Plantation. He mentions several names, ranks and fills in details I have been unable to see elsewhere. I would be more than happy to share this information with anyone.

Searching for any information regarding Co. I

My GG Grand Uncle
Benjamin Snow Jumper served in the Civil War under his father, Alden Haden Jumper. While delivering mail, he and his companion were accosted by rebels and Benjamin was shot in the knee. The doctors recommended amputation, but Benjamin refused and walked with a severe limp thereafter. After the war, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri where he would later die of gangrene and complications resulting from the bullet in his knee.

Washington Sowers was 'killed' Sept. 19th, 1861. This means he did not even make it to their first engagement. Any info on his life or death would be appreciated. He was the brother of my ancestor, George Michael Sowers.

My GG Grand Uncle.
He went by 'Wils', so in the Adjutant's roster he is shown as Wilson H Thompson, but that is wrong. His Civil War Record index card corrects the mistake.
