looking for info: nothing known except John Birch CoA 12th WVa Inf on military stone in Warrenton cemetary, Jefferson County, Rayland, Ohio. If WV archieves are correct, John Burch?(Birch?) was recruited in Moundsville, WVa 8-16-1862 at age of 20. All I know is 1 son George Thomas Birch, b.1874-place unknown d.1941, Rayland, Ohio. Tom, as he was called, was my grandfather. Thomas was married to Belle Rutter, date and place unknown. Belle's parents are listed in her obit. as Evan and Ellen Rutter of Monroe County OH.
