That’s a long time to suffer. Belated condolences for sure.
Our family originally came from Santa Fe Missouri, haven’t located any historical war data yet but working on it.
That’s a fine legacy you have FRiend. Kudos to you.
Thanks.... In my retirement I teach genealogy classes as a volunteer. Let me know if you need any help on research.
The file on the other ancestor at Shiloh was even more interesting. The Widow's Pension file had a fellow soldier's accounts of him falling 100 feet to the east of where Gen, Johnston died. Before too long, I want to make to the battle field, and find that approximate spot.
