    1. [ILSTEPHE-L] Fw: MILLER/REYNOLDS/REBER civil war
    2. Ida B. Wiese
    3. Hello members; I found several members of my family in the civil war records online at the Illinois Archives site. I have sent for their official records, but wondered if there is any published book on Stephenson Co that might give more personal information on this family. All are interrelated. If you have anything on any of them, I'd really like to hear from you. Thanks much. The parents of all MILLERs mentioned (except as noted) are Walter and Polly (SALSBURY) MILLER, both buried in Illinois, Eleroy cemetery. The parents of all REYNOLDS mentioned are Tertius and Eliza (TALBOT) REYNOLDS, buried at Pine Island, MN. Gaylord D. MILLER--company A 92nd Illinois Infantry--enlisted Erin. May have died in the war. Morris R. MILLER-----company A 92nd Illinois Infantry--enlisted Erin. May have died in the war . Jacob A REBER-------company G 92nd Illinois Infantry--enlisted Kent. Died in the war, married to Janetta MILLER. Garrett E. MILLER---company D 44th Illinois Infantry--no town given--unknown if this is the right Garrett, son of Walter and Polly. Alfred F. MILLER--company E 147th Illinois Infantry--enlisted Kent--unknown if this is another son of Walter and Polly. Edward Payson REYNOLDS--company D 93rd Illinois Infantry--enlisted Kent. Died in the war, and his will indicates he owned some property in Jo Davies Co. Unmarried. Brother-in-law of the MILLER boys. (Sister Abigail REYNOLDS m Salem MILLER, another son of Walter and Polly, who had enlisted in the war in Minnesota, and was discharged without going into battle, after his foot and ankle were frozen---my direct line). Nathaniel BOWKER---company D 93rd Illinois Infantry--enlisted Kent--imprisoned in the war, suffered the rest of his life from this. Married Martha REYNOLDS, sister of the above E. Payson REYNOLDS. As you see, this family suffered great loss in the war, I have heard stories about them all my life, and would really like to know more about them. There were probably other brothers in the war from NY, but I have not been able to track them down, yet. Thanks for any information you might have. Ida B. WIESE Minnesota
