[Hebrews 11:6]

I am originally from Ohio and Oklahoma wasn’t even a state during the Civil War.

I had a great-great-great grandfather and four great-great-great uncles who fought for the Union in Ohio's 8th Cavalry.

My family at that time was in SE Ohio and fought for the Union. My great-great-great grandfather sent a letter to President Johnson following the war. We have the President’s reply with his letter attached about how veterans were not being given what they had been promised when they joined the Union Army.

I would have to get out the info but I think the 8th Cavalry is the unit my relatives were also in during the Civil War — after the War they moved to Miami County, Ohio.

Originally they came from Virgiania where they settled long before the Revolulionary War where they fought the Brits.
