      " My great grandfather, Frederick Walters, served in Company H, 13th Regiment of the Ohio Voluntary Cavalry. I have obtained copies of his service records, and pension records, which I shall send later. He was a young private, perhaps 21 years of age. His given name was actually Frederick Walter, but we have seen the “s” added by accident, even by family members. The Army records call him Walters.
      "His records show that he was wounded with a shot to the side and he later claimed a grazing shot to the head, the same day as the fall of Petersburg.
      "One wonders whether there exist any photographs. He appears to have lived in Waverly, where his parents are laid to rest. I surmise that is the region of the other enlistments.
      "His other great-grandson, my younger brother Francis, serves today as an Army officer in Iraq."

      "Durbin Ward was the first man in the county to sign an enrollment paper for troops in the civil war. When the President's proclamation reached Lebanon, he was trying a case at the court house. He hastily drew up a paper containing something like the following: "We, the undersigned, hereby tender our services to the President of the United States to protect our national flag." He signed it, and proceeded with his case. It was soon signed by Milton B. Graham. Only one or two other names were obtained until after the war meeting at Washington Hall, on the evening of April 16. Gen. Ward went into the army as a private, declining a captaincy. He came out a Brigadier General. He was a Democrat, and a decided opponent of the election of Lincoln, yet, when the national flag was fired upon, he at once offered his services to support an administration whose elevaton to power he had opposed. His example and influence did much to unite all parties in the support of armed measures for the suppression of the rebellion." Beers History of Warren County page 787
      "When the war of the rebellion broke out, he was, as is claimed for him, the first man in his Congressional District to volunteer; declining a captaincy, he enlisted as a private. He was a Major of the 17th Ohio, and took part in the battles of Spring Mills, Corinth, Perryville, Stone River, Hoover's Gap and Chickamauga; at the last-named fight, he was shot through the body, and his left arm was disabled for life, and he carried it in a sling through the Atlanta Campaign. Having passed through the grades of Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel, in November, 1865, he was brevetted Brigadier General, " for gallant and meritorious conduct at the battle of Chickamauga.""

      " . . . During the years 1856-57 he was a private in the Seventh United States Infantry, and he enlisted in the Fourth Ohio Cavalry and gained an enviable notoriety for courage and daring during the Rebellion. At the close of the War he was a Major commanding his regiment. . . ."
    • 12 April 2011 Patrick Tobias email:
      "My G G Uncle Dominick Welter served in Troop A of the 4th Ohio Calvary Regiment. He enlisted as a Private in Cincinnati on September 10, 1861. He was promoted to Second-Lieutenant in September of 1862 and First-Lieutenant in January of 1863. He was wounded at Frankfort, Lexington & again at Chickamauga where he was taken prisoner on September 20, 1863 and for eighteen months suffered all the hardships of prison life at Libby, Va., Macon, Ga., Charleston and Columbia (Camp Sorghum), S. C., and Salisbury, N. C., where he was exchanged, via Wilmington, N. C., by order of the Secretary of War. receiving his final discharge in July of 1865. While a prisoner, during the summer of 1864, he was promoted to Captain and at the close of the War he was a Major, commanding his regiment."
    • 20 April 2011 Patrick Tobias email:
      "I too have been searching for his Ohio records but have also come up empty, all the information I have has come from newspaper articles published after his death. Dominick Welter was born in Echternach, Luxembourg on 8 Nov 1839, he arrived in the United States on 26 May 1851 and settled in Tiffin, Ohio with his brother. On 5 Oct 1855, at just 15 years old he enlisted as a private in the 7th United States Infantry in which he got to see much of the pacific northwest, he deserted 17 May 1857. He was living in San Francisco in 1861 when the war broke out but finding that no soldiers were being recruited from San Francisco he went back home to Tiffin and enlisted. During the war he was known for his courage. After his discharge in 1865 he went back home to Tiffin, he then settled permanently in Chicago in 1870. In 1877 during the Railroad Riots Major Welter was called back into service commanding Company A of the Calvary of the Illinois National Guard, later he was promoted to Colonel and given command of the entire First Calvary Regiment of the Illinois National Guard. Because of his skills as a soldier he was made the first ever Secretary & Chief Inspector of the Chicago Police Department in November of 1882 and ran the department until his death on 8 Jul 1885, he suffered a heart attack while drilling 300 new police recruits, he decided to take a short rest at his sisters home in Tiffin but died a few days after arriving. Nearly 5,000 Soldiers, Policemen & City Officials walked in his funeral procession. He was married twice, had 3 children and is buried in St. Boniface Cemetery in Chicago. I have attached a Sketch of Dominick Welter that came from one of his obituaries as well as a picture of his Tombstone [+ close-up]and a few articles. "

      "Mr. C. P. Wheaton.
      . . . August 11, 1862, he enlisted in the Union Army, serving throughout the war, or until mustered out, July 17, 1865. Under General George H. Thomas he saw much hard fighting in Tennessee and on November 30, 1864, at Franklin, Tennessee, in that fierce struggle, he was severely wounded by being struck in the right shoulder by a minie ball. As he lay fain from the excessive loss of blood, the Confederates charged, and in passing where he lay, one attempted to stick him with his bayonet, but young Wheaton shot him with a pistol and thus saved his own life. That pistol he still possesses, and prized highly. While being hauled from the field to the hospital, twenty miles away, two of the three others in the ambulance died, and he himself was more dead than alive. In about six weeks he was able to return home on a furlough. In the latter part of the war he saw service under General Schofield, in the east. He was a member of three different regiments, viz.: 79th, 146th and 183d O. V. I. Returning from the war, he again took up the active life of a farmer. . . ."

    • Lynne Sitkiewicz emails 11 & 14 Jul 2014:
      I have copies of his military records from the National Archives (he’s my 2nd great grandfather) and there are records from the Clinton County Infirmary that he is buried at New Hope cemetery. He died July 4, 1903. I just had his death date inscribed on his headstone. The record was in his pension file.
      By the way, John Nelson (he went by both names throughout all the paperwork and I think the E stands for Eden (his fathers name), but I can't find any documentation to tell me for sure. Anyway, he was shot twice in the chest at the end of the war, in Tennessee, and still had one of the musket balls inside him when he died. He had 3 holes in his chest, one where the other ball came in and out and the other one was never removed from what I make out. He was pretty much an invalid after the war and I can see why.

      Mary E. White, widow of Andrew White,       Co G 35th OVI, Certificate #52337, 206 images
      This 206-page claim file under the name of Andrew J. White is a consolidation of three claim filings as follows:
      • Mary E. (Hall) White Widow’s Pension Application #70,651 dated 31 Oct 1864 (Certificate #52337)
      • Enos Dye Jones, Invalid Pension Application #664,806 dated 19 Jul 1888 (rejected)
      • Mary E. (Hall) Jones Widow’s Pension Application #587,951 dated 26 Dec 1893 (rejected)

      Andrew J. White enlisted as a 33-year-old Private on 26 Aug 1861 and was mustered into Company D, 35th Ohio Volunteer Infantry on 9 Sep 1861 and then transferred into Company G on 24 Sep 1861. A 16 January 1862 article in the Western Star reported that he was taken prisoner at Nashville, TN along with a number of other soldiers from the 35th OVI. Andrew died of diseased at Nashville on 16 Dec 1863 and is buried in the Nashville National Cemetery. Mary E. Hall, was married to Andrew White by Rev. Coulter in Warren County on 24 Jan 1862 after he had enlisted in the 35th OVI. She was born in Monroe County, Ohio. After Andrew’s death she filed for and received a widow’s pension of $8 per month commencing 17 Dec 1863 by certificate #52337 issued 29 Jul 1865. She forfeited her widow’s pension when she was married to Enos Dye Jones by J. M. Monce, JP, at or near South Lebanon on 1 Dec 1867.

      Enos Dye Jones enlisted as a private from Charleston, Illinois on 2 Dec 1861. He was mustered into Co G, 54th Illinois Infantry on 18 Feb 1862. He deserted in June 21, 1862 at Columbus, Kentucky. On 21 Jan 1864 he was arrested at Brazil, Indiana and was returned under guard Feb. 14, 1864. He was convicted of desertion by a General Court martial which sentenced him to be shot to death. This was reduced to imprisonment in the Dry Tortugas, Florida until the close of the war. He received a dishonorable discharge on 30 Mar 1865.

      Enos Jones was first married to an Elizabeth Lear on 6 May 1855 in Coles County, Illinois. She died in Brazil, Indiana. Mary White was staying at the house of Elizabeth’s sister, Jane (Lear) Riley in Brazil at the time of Elizabeth’s death.

      Enos Dye Jones filed for an invalid pension at Rails Prairie, Minnesota for his service as a Private in Company G, 54th Illinois Volunteer Infantry on 19 Jul 1888 and again on 2 Aug 1890. His claim was first rejected because of his desertion and dishonorable discharge but it was later ruled that this did not bar him from a pension as he had served his sentence. His claim was again rejected as there was no reliable evidence showing the any of his alleged disabilities incurred in the service and line of duty. He died 15 Oct 1893.

      Mary E. (Hall) Jones filed for another widow’s pension on 22 Dec 1893 as the widow of Enos Jones. At age 64, she gave an interrogatory on 17 Aug 1894 in Rail Prairie, Morrison County, MN, regarding her application # 587,951. She stated her maiden name was Hall and that she was born in Monroe County, Ohio. She was married to Andrew White by Rev. Coulter in Warren County on Jan. 24th, 1862 after he had enlisted in the 35th OVI. She married to Enos Jones by J. M. Monce, at J.P., at or near South Lebanon on 1 Dec 1867. She was also living there when she married Andrew White. After their marriage they moved to Brazil, IN and several other places in Iowa and Kansas, ending up in Rail Prairie, MN. Her claim was rejected multiple times and listed as wholly void of merit.

      Oscar D. Whitten (Application #17068, Certificate #19995) 142 pages
      Oscar first served as a civilian pilot of river boats under contract to the US delivering war suplies. On 24 Dec 1863 he was "appointed" a River Pilot 1st Class and servied on the USS Glide and USS Gazelle until he "resigned" on 7 Oct 1864.       He Filed for an invalid pension on 2 Aug 1890 & awarded a pension of $8 per month under the Act of 1890. He was last paid at $7.50 to 4 Jan 1912 and dropped from the rolls upon his death on 27 Feb 1912. It appears that Oscar lost and regained his pension numerous times, in part because "he was not legally or regularly mustered into the service" and in part because the government questioned whether his maladies were the result of his service during the Civil War.

    • 9 Dec 2010 Michael Ford email:
      "When I visited the Warren County Genealogical Society in Lebanon back in September, I accidently happened upon an entry on page 1277 of the Cemetery Records of Clinton County, Ohio for Eli M Williams. It had a familiar ring to it & sure enough it solved one of the mysteries in my family tree.
      Eli M Williams enlisted in the company band of the 12th Infantry Regiment Indiana on 23 October 1861. At that time the regiment was in Williamston, Virginia (now West Virginia) as far as I can tell. He died on 13 Apr 1862 at Warrenton Junction in Fauquier County, Virginia.
      I have been unable to locate Eli in the 1850 census or to identify his parentage.
      On 8 July 1860 he married Jerusha Jane Ford in Warren County.
      On 9 August 1860 he is shown in the census record as living with his wife in Salem Township on the farm of his wife's parents. His occupation is shown as a carpenter.
      On 5 August 1861 a son, James Houston Williams was born to Eli & Jerusha in Harlan Township. (James Houston died 23 Jun 1896 & is buried in West Woodville Cemetery.)
      Following Eli's death Jerusha did file for pension benefits & a Henry Runyan also apparently filed for benefits for James Houston Williams as a guardian.
      There is a guardianship listed under Court Records in 1871 for Eli Williams which I have not obtained but may explain the role of Henry Runyan.
      Jerusha Jane Ford Williams remarried another Civil War Veteran John S White in Warren County on 11 October 1870 which may be a factor in the guardianship as well."

      "In the 1860 census, the family of Ehud Williams & Eliza Ann (Starkey) Williams is residing in Salem Township in Warren County. From other indications they are somewhere in the vicinity of Level Station. The census shows their 2 sons, John and Thomas. The family had come to Warren County from Harrison County, (West) Virginia sometime in the 1850’s. (I attached a copy of the census page.)

      "John S Williams enlisted in Company K, Ohio 12th Infantry Regiment on 01 Jul 1861. He mustered out on 01 Jul 1864 and transferred to Company C, Ohio 23rd Infantry Regiment on 01 Jul 1864. He was promoted to Full Corporal on 01 May 1865 and mustered out on 26 Jul 1865 at Cumberland, MD. I believe he married Mary or Sarah Parker on 24 Oct 1865 in Fayette County, Ohio (I haven’t been able to completely identify her. She was born in Kentucky about 1843 & was in the 1910 census in Ohio but I haven’t found a death record for her.) They apparently moved about a great deal, to Kentucky, back to Ohio, to Illinois, to Kansas, back to Indiana, & finally back to Ohio. John S Williams died on 4 Feb 1920 in Xenia of influenza. He is buried in Woodland Cemetery in Xenia. John & Mary Sarah apparently had a total of 7 children but only 3 of them had survived as of 1900. I was able to identify 5 of their children & to find records concerning the 3 survivors after 1900. John’s Death Certificate indicates he was born 31 Jan 1839 in West Virginia but the 1840 census for his family only shows 2 children under the age of 5 (Eli & Granville) so John hadn’t been born yet. Other records pertaining to John point to 1841 as the year of his birth.

      "Thomas B Williams enlisted in Company K, Ohio 12th Infantry Regiment on 19 Jun 1861. He was mustered out on 11 Dec 1862. He was wounded at the Battle of South Mountain, Maryland on 14 Sep 1862. In Jun 1863 Thomas B Williams is shown on a draft registration list in Harlan Township in Warren County. He is unmarried and his occupation is clerk. On 30 Jul 1868 there is a Civil War pension filed for widow benefits for Thomas B Williams. 27 Oct 1876 there is a Civil War pension filing for a dependent of Thomas B Williams. Thomas B Williams married Irene Hammond on 28 Nov 1865 in Maury County, Tennessee. They had one child, Thomas B Williams, who was born 29 Jul 1866 in Cincinnati & died 7 May 1933 in Chicago. Thomas B Williams died on 31 Jul 1866 in Blanchester and is buried in the old section of the Blanchester Cemetery.

      "Will Motsinger has found a number of newspaper items published in Hillsboro and Wilmington newspapers about the family. Granville Williams, another brother, was something of a poet and often contributed items to these papers. Will has included some of these items in the find-a-grave memorials for family members.

      "Will & I are still searching for more information about the parents. Ehud was reported as being gravely ill in a Wilmington newspaper in 1878 but we have as yet found no record of his death or burial. There was an item in the Wilmington paper in 1889 about a sheriff’s sale of a lot owned by Eliza Ann Williams in Blanchester but, again, we have found no further indication of her death or burial. The family had moved to Blanchester in the 1870 census. Ehud might be a nephew of Nathaniel Williams (who is one of my great-great-great-grandfathers) who is buried in New Hope Cemetery but I am not getting a real clear picture yet of the relationship (if any) of Ehud’s father, Thomas D Williams and Nathaniel Williams. There are some family histories that possibly indicate that they are brothers but the dates associated with their parent’s marriage & their births don’t seem consistent."

      "The war spirit was soon aroused throughout the county. The national flag was run up on the court house, and was seen floating from stores, workshops and residences. The whole country was filled with the noise and excitement of military preparation. Three companies from the county were soon raised, commanded respectively by Capt. Rigdon Williams, of Lebanon; Capt. John Kell, of Franklin; and Capt. J. D. Wallace, of Morrow. The sight of real soldiers was new to most of the people, and the marching to camp of a company for the three-months' service made more ado than afterward the departure of a regiment who left their homes for three years or during the war. Capt. Williams' company, on Tuesday, April 23, marched from Lebanon to the railroad, intending to take their departure for Camp Jackson at Columbus. Stores and shops were closed, and the people turned out to bid the soldiers adieu. The procession of soldiers and citizens on the road from Lebanon to Deerfield was nearly a mile in length. At the railroad station, the Captain received a dispatch that Camp Jackson was full, and the company returned to Lebanon and encamped at the fair-grounds. The company was mustered into the service of the United States for three months, at Columbus, on May 5; was re-organized and mustered into service for three years at Camp Dennison on the 19th of June, as Company F, Twelfth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry"

      “ . . . He was a son of old Major William, and was a slight, beardless fellow, almost a boy, when he was elected captain. He was wounded in the back in an engagement at Cloyd Mountain, in West Virginia, and he carried the bullet in his body until after the war. He was then appointed clerk in the War Department but wanted the bullet taken out of him, and came to Lebanon to have it removed. The operation was performed in Dr. McCowen’s – now Henry Reed’s – drug store, and proved fatal, for he returned to Washington only to die.”

      "Middletown, Md., Sept 16, 1862.
      Dear Brother: * * I am well at the present time, with the exception of a sore hand. I suppose you heard of our severe engagement with the enemy, on last Sunday, (the 14th inst.)
      In the evening I got "tapped" with a ball, which took of a finger on my left hand - the one next the little finger. - It is very sore at present. It will have to be cut off again, which will be a painful operation.
      Brother John escaped unhurt. So did Sylvanus Cox - or had, at least, up to yesterday evening. I don't know whether our Division is in the engagement to day, or not. It was not yesterday, as it was resting.
      Thomas Stonestreet was killed; he never moved after he fell.
      Our regiment has suffered a great deal up to the present time. I know of 4 killed, 7 wounded and 8 taken prisoners - the latter were sent ahead as skirmishers 0 in our company alone; so you may know that there was a big loss.
      Gen. Cox's Division was in the advance, so we were in the fight all day Sunday. We made three different charges during the day, and drove the enemy every time. Once we got close enough to prick some of them with the bayonet. We took a great many prisoners during the day; I suppose our regiment alone took about 300. John captured one fellow. When he had his gun just half loaded, he ran up to him with bayonet presented, and told him to "hand over his traps." The rebel replied, "Here, I am a prisoner," (handing over "his traps,") and John marched him off with the rest, half scared to death.
      In the last charge (just before dark) I was wounded, while within fifteen feet of the rebels, who were behind a stone wall, and I went to the rear; but the regiment pushed on and drove the rebels again. I was sent to the hospital at Middletown, where I now am.
      * * * The prisoners say they never saw men fight like our Division did there - that there was not such fighting done before Richmond. We didn't stand off and let them shoot at us; but as soon as we could get sight of them we would charge, and that they couldn't stand. our Division has won great praise among the officers. Gen. Cox thinks he can go anywhere with it - he has such confidence in the bravery of his men. And Col. White thinks there is not another such a regiment as his "gallant 12th."
      Major Cary was wounded; Capt. Wilson (Co. A,) do; Capt. Leggett reported killed. a Lieut. of Co. "G" was wounded. * * *
      I suppose you saw an account of our "Advent" into Frederick City. I tell you we went in there nice. The citizens of Maryland are nearly all Union people, and they are very clever to us.
      All of the wounded who are able to walk will be sent from here soon, to give room for those who are badly wounded; but where I cannot say.
      There are over 200 wounded in this hospital, and there are nine or ten more in town.
      I tell you I have seen "sights" before, but this is the greatest I ever saw. I never before saw the ground covered with dead as it was with "Secesh" where we charged. We were so close to them, that we could not well miss them, when we fired, and we just "rolled" them. - Those that the balls from our guns hit were nearly all killed. * * *
      I have seen many pretty places, but never as pretty a country as that between here and Washington; - no exceptions whatever.
      When you write again to John, direct as before. I cannot tell you yet how to direct to me; but I will write again as soon as I learn where I am to remain until my hand gets well.
      My love to all, and remember me, as ever your Brother, TOM."

    • "Death of Thomas B. Williams, late of Co. K, 12th Ohio Inf. - By a note from his brother, we learn that Thos. B. Williams, a member of Capt. Sloane's company, the 12th Ohio, died on the 31st of July, at his father's residence in Blanchester. He enlisted among the first who responded to the call of their country at the commencement of the war, and served faithfully until his health was so impaired that he was unfit for duty and was discharged from the service. He was slightly wounded in the battle of South Mountain, where his regiment bore so conspicuous a part. After his discharge, he was engaged during the remainder of the war as a clerk for the Sutler of the 192d Ills., and at the close of the war continued in his employ in charge of a store in Columbia, Tenn., where he married Miss Irene Hammond. A few months ago, his health became so feeble that he came home, where he lingered until death released him from his sufferings. As a soldier he enjoyed the esteem of his officers and comrades, and as a man had not an enemy in the word. His memory will long be cherished by his many friends and hi old companions-in-arms."

      "In the 1860 census, the family of Ehud Williams & Eliza Ann (Starkey) Williams is residing in Salem Township in Warren County. From other indications they are somewhere in the vicinity of Level Station. The census shows their 2 sons, John and Thomas. The family had come to Warren County from Harrison County, (West) Virginia sometime in the 1850’s. (I attached a copy of the census page.)

      "John S Williams enlisted in Company K, Ohio 12th Infantry Regiment on 01 Jul 1861. He mustered out on 01 Jul 1864 and transferred to Company C, Ohio 23rd Infantry Regiment on 01 Jul 1864. He was promoted to Full Corporal on 01 May 1865 and mustered out on 26 Jul 1865 at Cumberland, MD. I believe he married Mary or Sarah Parker on 24 Oct 1865 in Fayette County, Ohio (I haven’t been able to completely identify her. She was born in Kentucky about 1843 & was in the 1910 census in Ohio but I haven’t found a death record for her.) They apparently moved about a great deal, to Kentucky, back to Ohio, to Illinois, to Kansas, back to Indiana, & finally back to Ohio. John S Williams died on 4 Feb 1920 in Xenia of influenza. He is buried in Woodland Cemetery in Xenia. John & Mary Sarah apparently had a total of 7 children but only 3 of them had survived as of 1900. I was able to identify 5 of their children & to find records concerning the 3 survivors after 1900. John’s Death Certificate indicates he was born 31 Jan 1839 in West Virginia but the 1840 census for his family only shows 2 children under the age of 5 (Eli & Granville) so John hadn’t been born yet. Other records pertaining to John point to 1841 as the year of his birth.

      "Thomas B Williams enlisted in Company K, Ohio 12th Infantry Regiment on 19 Jun 1861. He was mustered out on 11 Dec 1862. He was wounded at the Battle of South Mountain, Maryland on 14 Sep 1862. In Jun 1863 Thomas B Williams is shown on a draft registration list in Harlan Township in Warren County. He is unmarried and his occupation is clerk. On 30 Jul 1868 there is a Civil War pension filed for widow benefits for Thomas B Williams. 27 Oct 1876 there is a Civil War pension filing for a dependent of Thomas B Williams. Thomas B Williams married Irene Hammond on 28 Nov 1865 in Maury County, Tennessee. They had one child, Thomas B Williams, who was born 29 Jul 1866 in Cincinnati & died 7 May 1933 in Chicago. Thomas B Williams died on 31 Jul 1866 in Blanchester and is buried in the old section of the Blanchester Cemetery.

      "Will Motsinger has found a number of newspaper items published in Hillsboro and Wilmington newspapers about the family. Granville Williams, another brother, was something of a poet and often contributed items to these papers. Will has included some of these items in the find-a-grave memorials for family members.

      "Will & I are still searching for more information about the parents. Ehud was reported as being gravely ill in a Wilmington newspaper in 1878 but we have as yet found no record of his death or burial. There was an item in the Wilmington paper in 1889 about a sheriff’s sale of a lot owned by Eliza Ann Williams in Blanchester but, again, we have found no further indication of her death or burial. The family had moved to Blanchester in the 1870 census. Ehud might be a nephew of Nathaniel Williams (who is one of my great-great-great-grandfathers) who is buried in New Hope Cemetery but I am not getting a real clear picture yet of the relationship (if any) of Ehud’s father, Thomas D Williams and Nathaniel Williams. There are some family histories that possibly indicate that they are brothers but the dates associated with their parent’s marriage & their births don’t seem consistent."

      George D. Wilson Pension File - Certificate #95898 (32 images) - the following is extracte from that file.
      George D. Wilson and Martha Marple were married in Licking County, Ohio on 6 Sep 1849
      They had a son, Davenport Davis Wilson, who was born 12 Nov, 1862.
      Martha divorced George in Licking County on 23 Aug 1856
      Martha married her second cousin, Abram Marple on 13 Jun 1861 but George Wilson remained single until the time of his death.
      A 9 Nov 1866 record from the Adjutant General's Office indicated that George Wilson enrolled on 31 Aug 1861 at Franklin, Ohio in Co. B, 2nd Regt Ohio Volunteers, to serve 3 years or during the war, and was mustered into service as a private on 18 Sep 1861 at Camp Dennison, Ohio. The muster roll of Nov. & Dec. 1862 for Co B, reported that Private George D. Wilson was executed as a spy at Atlanta, Ga. 18 Jun 1862. Other documents in the file refer to service Co C, 21st OVI which was refuted by the Adjutant General's Office.
      John Marple was appointed guardian of Davenport Davis Wilson in Licking County on 15 Nov 1865 and filed for a minors' pension (application #123709) on 19 Mar 1866. Pension Certificate #95898 dated 14 Jun 1867 granted an $8 monthly pension to Davenport Davis Wilson commencing 8 Jun 1867 and ending 11 Nov 1868.
      An undated newspaper clipping in the pension file from the Cincinnati Commercial contains a January 6th message from Governor Charles Anderson to the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, encouraging the recognition of the 7 Ohians who were hung as spys as a result of the Great Locomotive Chase. The seven were named (in 18 Dec 1865 correspondence to the Governor from the office of Provost Marshal in Atlanta) as William Cambell, George D. Wilson, Marion H. Ross, Benj. G. Shadrick, Samuel Slovens, S. Robinson and John Scott that "belonged to the party that was sent out by General O. M. Mitchell. The same party that captured the engine at Big Shanty and endeavored to run through to our lines and were captured near Chattanooga, and afterwards hung at this place. They are only about eighteen inches under ground. If the people of Ohio knew as much about this execution as I have learned since I have been here, they would certainly send for their remains and take them home and bury them at the State Capital, and erect an appropriate monument over their remains."
    • Congressional Medal of Honor - from comments left on Craig Manson's GeniaBlogie.net
      Legislation was passed in 2008 to award George D. Wilson, and Phillip G. Shadrach the Congressional Medal of Honor. It expired in 2010 without President Obama acting on it.

      Pension File for Louisa Woodburn, mother of Jackson Woodburn, Co G, 5th OVC, 19 images
      Jackson Woodburn enlisted on 21 Feb 1865 at Dayton, Ohio, for 1 year and was mustered into Co. G as a Private (recruit) on 25 Feb 1865. Less than 3 months later died of measles on 5 May 1865 at Foster General Hospital in Newbern, North Carolina.
      He was the oldest son of Charles Woodburn and Louisa Jane Strowbridge who were married 25 Aug 1842 in Warren County, Ohio by James Coe, Minister of the Gospel.
      On 26 Dec 1868, Louisa Woodburn, nearly 45 years old, of Red Lion, Ohio, filed a "Mother's Claim for Pension" (Application #169762). James McLane and Alpheus McLane gave depositions in support of her claim. In his deposition (image 16 & image 17) James McLane indicated that the family was a tenant on one of his farms and that the father was "a very intemperate man" and was in the habit of spending a part of his and Jackson's wages for liquor. After Charles Woodburn's death on 18 Dec 1863, Jackson was the only support his mother had. When Jackson went into the service, he sent his mother $250 of his local bounty money. Louisa received $4 per month from the county relief fund from the time of his enlistment to about the close of the war and "was in the county infirmary for some months since the death of her son and has no property, all of her household goods having been destroyed by fire".
      Louisa was awarded a pension of $8 per month commencing 5 May 1865 by Certificate #126808 dated 29 Mar 1869. She was last paid $12 to 4 Mar 1898 and was dropped from the rolls due to her death (no date listed).

      "Col. Thomas Worthington has long lived the life of a recluse on the west side of the Little Miami, in this township. He is a son of Gov. Thomas Worthington, graduated at West Point in 1827, and served in the Mexican War. In 1861 he publish      ed a work on military tactics. Early in the civil war he raised a company, and was afterwards commissioned Colonel of the 46th Ohio. At the battle of Shiloh he commanded this regiment. Col. Worthington has published a history of the battle of Shiloh, and many pamphlets in which he claims that his regiment was, without notice, transferred from the center to the extreme right of the Union line, far detached from the main army; that its right being suddenly threatened, the 46th, by a prompt change of front, attacked and repelled a superior flanking force, till ordered back about 2 P. M., April 6, thus holding the extreme right of the line long enough to make advancing aid available; that this regiment, being a part of Gen. Sherman's division, that officer obtained credit for this service, to which has been imputed the rescue of the Union army from imminent destruction, and to this service is due Gen. Sherman's past promotion and present position. A few months after the battle of Shiloh, Col. Worthington was tried by a court martial on several charges, one of which was the publication of extracts from his diary, containing false and libelous matter, designed to injure his superior officers, Col. McDowell, Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman. The result of the trial was his dismissal from the service; but the sentence of the court was afterwards declared null and void by the Judge Advocate General, and he received an honorable discharge from the service. In many pamphlets published by Col. Worthington, he has charged Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman with falsehood, negligence and mismanagement. Being in reduced circumstances, Congress, recently, notwithstanding his repeated attacks on men who stood high in the confidence of the nation, passed a special act granting him a pension."

      "David Wright, a member of Company C, 50th Ohio regiment, died at the Billmire House on Monday last. The deceased came to this place one day last week, and said he was on his way to Dayton, to find his friends. Some of our citizens discovered that he was sick and unable to travel, and took him to the Billmire House, where every attention was paid him. He was an entire stranger in this place. The Cincinnati Commercial says he was well known in that city. He could not give any direct information of his friends. His funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at the Congregational Church; the different ministers of Lebanon officiated. His remains were followed to the grave by a large number of citizens. He was buried with honors of war."

He was commissioned as Captain in the 100th U. S. C. I., taking command of Company D, at Nashville, Tenn., June 28, 1864, and was almost immediately thereafter taken to the hospital on account of the wound, where he remained two months, then assumed command of his company, which, with the balance of the regiment, was assigned to duty on the Northwestern Railroad, and soon thereafter he was placed in command of two companies of the regiment. He went into the country, seized stock from the enemy, and mounted these companies, which performed services as mounted infantry until the battle of Nashville, in which he commanded his company during the two days' fight, and was again seriously wounded about the close of the battle. After recovering from the wound, he was detailed as a member of the military commission in the department of the Cumberland, and there remained about three months, when he again assumed command of his company, with which be continued until the close of the war, when he returned to Lebanon, which has since been his home."
