He fought under Gibbons @ Appomatox and was one of three sides of union forces that surrounded lee. i have his penciled diary of his accounts of the war.

William was ''first cousin, three times removed''! Confusing. He enrolled on August 7, 1862, at Wellsburg, W.Va. for three years service. The regiment was organized at Wheeling, W. Va., August 30, 1862. William was mustered out with his company at Richmond, Virginia, June 16, 1865.

My great, great grandfather mustered in with a Pvt named Mchugh, he also happened to be married to a Rosanna Mchugh. (coincedence?) He survived the war and as a result my great grandfather William was born and then subsequently his son, my grandfather, George William Stock. Small world.
