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!

My great-great grandfather was Samuel Hurrel and served in company F. He was taken prisoner and was incarerated at Andersonville. Upon release, he was on his way home but died of scurvy before he made it home.

My great grandfather Oliver J Boyer was in the 78th Ohio Inf. His granddaughter (my grandmother) came to Seattle in 1923 where the family has pretty much remained - His family today numbers well over 100 no doubt. I have his compass and picture of his wife (Susan Green) and 3 children he carried all thru the war.
