Does anyone know of a Joseph Roughan who served in the Civil War? I do not know where he enlisted, all I know is that he is buried in Davenport IA and his obit stated he was in the Civil War. He was born in Ireland in 1849. He worked in the Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island IL just across the river from Davenport. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Connie Robinson florene@lisco

Carolyn If he was born in 1859 he would have been 13 at the outbreak of the war. Not impossible he joined but, without further information to confirm, improbable. All I found were two Roughans who served Wisconsin a Charles from Grand Rapids and a William from Liberty. Mike
