Enlisted at outbreak of war along with his senior class at Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. He's on the original roster, but can't find him after that, nor does NARA list him. Looking for a service record. The original unit was called the Miami University Rifles. Later 10th Battalion Infantry, company B. Any information much welcome..

Patrick Twohig, my greatgrandfather was born in Clondrohid, County Cork, Ireland on May 19,1839. The Twohigs emigrated to America between 1848 and 1850, and probably entered via the Port of New Orleans. From there it was an easy trip to their final destination at Cincinnati. At the outbreak of the war, Patrick, and his brother Daniel joined the 10th Ohio, Cincinnati's Irish Regiment. Patrick enlisted for both the three month and three year's service, and served the complete terms. After the war, he returned to Cincinnati, married Mary Ring,and had six children. He worked as a laborer at a company called Lane and Bodley, which originally manufactured sawmill equipment, but which later expanded to all sorts of durable goods. Sometime in the late 1880s he left his family and went to live at the Ft. Leavenworth Kansas Military Home, and later at the Marion Indiana National Military Home in Marion, Indiana. He died there in 1917 and is buried at its National Cemetery. Hugh Coyle, a band member of the 10th Ohio is also buried there. I am the only Twohig family remaining in the Cincinnati area.

I am a great fan/student of the civil war and if you have any information about my ancestor or his regiment, I'd love to hear it
