He was in the March from Atlanta to the Sea and attended the Grand Review.

Private Kinnamon of Ironton, Wisc. enlisted on 25 Sep 1861 and received a disability discharge on 30 Nov 1863. I believe he was with his unit at Vicksburg in June-July 1863, but have had trouble following Company B after that until they were on operations around Natchez, MS in December 1863, at which point he was already discharged. The Civil War Pension Index notes on an application 6 Jun 1864 as invalid. I would greatly appreciate any help pointing me in a direction where I can find out what happened to him.

I am a Scottish 1st cousin 3 times removed of Mark (Marcus) Banner Long (b. Ireland 28th May 1840, d. 23rd Nov 1864, buried Chattanooga National Cemetery Section G, Site 8302). He died after apparently travelling for six days in an ambulance waggon. He was a 2nd cousin once removed of the playwright Oscar Wilde''s wife, Constance Lloyd, and a 1st cousin of John Sadleir (b Ireland 1833- d Melbourne 1919),who in June 1880 commanded the final stages of the capture at Glenrowan, Victoria, of the Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly.Mark Long left a wife and posthumous son, and was pre-deceased by two other sons.

My great grandfather. I have a lot of Squire family information and some really nice letters he wrote to my great grandmother during the war. Would be interesting to anyone who was researching the 12th.

I am not a direct descendant of Richard Barrington, born: Ireland Aug. 19, 1834, died: Apr. 10, 1907 Crystal Lake, Dayton Township, Waupaca Co., Wis.. I am the secretary/archivist of the family association for the descendants of William and Loveda Alcock Barrington. Richard was their 8th child and 5th son. He married Lucy Warren Aug. 3, 1865. We (the family) would love to locate Richard''s descendants. He had 3 other brothers who also served in the Civil War: George, Co. C., 3rd Wis. Cavalry, died in service in Indian Terr. (Oklahoma), June 4, 1863, where he is buried; and William H. ''Rebel Bill,'' who was stuck behind the lines in Tennessee while there selling horses, enlisted in th e 18th Miss. in Virginia, was wounded at Gettysburg, imprisoned by the Union, escaped from prison Jan. 1864, and walked back to Wisconsin.

I'm looking to see if anyone remembers my grandpa.
I don't have alot on his military history.
