By the way, Wayne County had at least 3 GAR posts: #244 Fairfield Post Fairfield, IL #333 I. N. Haynie Post Johnsonville, IL (There are two Johnsonvilles in IL; however, since the commander of the 48th Illiniois, Isham N. Haynie, was from next-door Clay County, and CO. "I" was from nearby Johnsonville, I think this one is in Wayne County.) #480 James Mays Post Mt. Erie, IL (James Mays was in Co "K" 113th Illinois Infantry, was from Fairfield, IL. Mustered in Feb 29, 1864 Disch, Sep 14, 1864; disability. He's also listed in the 1862 military census, residence Mt. Erie Township, age 50, farmer) I searched towns where the county was not mentioned. What town was your Thomas walker from?
