Comments: 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.

Comments: 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.
