Jacob Henry Lansing - Lt. Colonel   
Am looking for other descendants of 86th infantry. Do you have any information of those years? Lansing took command after Colonel Higgins was wounded at Gettysburg on July 2nd 1863. I am looking for information on him prior to that date. He was wounded several times and survived the war.
