Military Data
This page is only partially constructed. Name, year of birth, or approximate year of birth, and group number, if known, are listed below for those individuals that have been researched to date. Future updates will include photos and all details that I have from their pension files and service records, where available. I have only researched names through the Civil War to date. Again, if you have stories or photos to contribute, or corrections to the records, please contact me. Information from the 20th century is also welcome; nothing will be published while the immediate family of the person involved is still living. Thank you.
