My 4th great-grandfather is Corporal Jacob Bush. His entire line fought in every US battle from the Revolution up until the first WWI. I am so excited to find this site. I wish my grandmother would known about it, as her grandfather (Felix Hollingsworth) would have known Jacob and more than likely told my grandmother stories of him.

I always heard stories from my grandmother and mother about my Great Grand dad James T.Bay from Guernsey county. He was only 15 years old and too young to fight but entered as a 2nd musician of Co.F along with Matthew W Bay. I have found out about his travels and journey through your website in the 78th OVI. - Jim Mooney, G-Mother was Eunice Bay {Kinnear}, Mother was Kate Kinnear Mooney.

I am a Great Great Great Granddaughter of Dr. OB Crumbaker and am also of relation to Israel Clay Robinson though I don't have the exact lineage figured out for that yet. I am just grateful this site exists as I found it today after finding OB's grave at Duncan Falls. Am hoping to continue learning more about my family.

Thank you for posting the regimental poster! My GGG Grandfather Menander Mott served in Company K. Injured in the Atlanta campaign, and died in 1875 after 10 years of living with painful shrapnel wounds from the war.

What's especially exciting is to see other names from our genealogical charts also in Company K: his father-in-law Samuel Fordyce (my GGGG Grandfather), and some Hays and Jeffers. I knew the names, but now I see they were all neighbors. Fascinating!
