Robert Bryant relative of Daniel and Thomas Bryant who both served in this unit and later were transferred to the 52nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry, Robert was buried in Olney, Illinois

This actually isn't a family member of mine. Instead an old cemetery was found in the middle of the woods. This man has Co. E 50th IND Information on his stone and I would like him to receive the honor in which he deserves

Isaac Carothers, father-in-law of my Great-grandfather's brother (hence my great uncle) was also a Chaplain and had served in the Mexican War 1844-1847????

Grandfather served with the 50th during the duration of the war. Upon the consolidation of the 50th into the 52nd Indiana, William was promoted to Corporal. He returned home after the war, settling near Freetown, Indiana in Jackson County. William suffered serious medical problems as a result of the war and did recieve a disability pension. He and his wife Huldah Sprague Scott were founding members of Gorbett's Chapel Baptist Church. Both are buried in the small cemetery near the church. William did not have a military monument until the 1990s when two of his great grand children petitioned for the monument which currently stands on his grave. Ironically the veteran services officer at the time did much to impede the placment of the marker (inspite of the fact we had in hand copies of all the pertinent documentation). The officer thought the war was 'long over and Long forgotten' and a waste of government funds and resources to place the marker. Of course Williams descendents feel otherwise and want the world to know our Grandfather was a true American deserving our honor.
