I have a soldier named John Long, 26 Jun 1842 - 24 Jun 1865 (GAR) buried in Solomon Creek Cemetery, Benton, Elkhart Co. IN. He is the oldest son of Martin Long and Lydia Searfoss of Benton. I am a descendant of Martin and Lydia (and of a number of families in the area) I want to find out what unit John fought in but I have had a terrible time figuring it out. There are a lot of John Longs that fought from Indiana, and I haven't been able to locate any kind of list of local recruits. Do you have any suggestions or know someone who can help me find John's unit? Mandy Colgan ps. I can help with Ott, Long, Searfoss/Zearfoss, Rookstool, Teaford, Price, Schroyer, Gangwere/Congwere, Prickett, Hapner and I have the Solomon Creek Cemetary index my tree is located at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=mcolgan&recno=0
