I need help identifying the abbreviations listed in James Briggs biographical information in Peoria Co History. It says he had a son in the "77th I. V. I. Co. C, who died at Memphis of the typhoid fever." I can understand Company C., but are the letters before that 77th Infantry? and what would the V. and I. be for after that? Where would be the best place for me to find this son's name and record? Another record stated that Mr. Briggs' son enlisted in 1862, along with Micajah Macy, Ichabod Gibbs, Samuel Hrper, Albert Rowley, and George McCann. Any suggestions welcome! Bonnie
