My grandfather, Ulyston Snyder Ohio 78th co K was injured at Fort Henry. He died in 1900. My Dad never really knew him as my Dad was only 3 when his father died. I would be interested in knowing more about Ulyston. I probably am among a minority to have had such a close relative in the civil war.

Outstanding site for 78th research! My great-grandfather, Edward M. Barrett served in Co. C. I proudly hold possession of a letter he wrote from Vicksburg, MS after the capitulation and just prior to the Red River Expedition. A lot of research is yet to be done.

I am the great great nephew of Daniel Wright of Co. I. The company consisted of men from Columbiana County and most of our family still live here. I dont know much about him but am doing research.

I am the great great grandson of Oliver John Boyer (listed on roster as John R. Boyer). Following the Civil War he moved to California and his granddaughter (my grandmother) moved to Washington State in 1923. The Johnston part of the family is so large we had to rent a hall to have Thanksgiving dinner together. Many veterans of the Navy and Air Force (we seem to avoid the army in modern times). Boyers are still in California - would be delighted to hear from the family down south! Bill J.
