Mina --Axe Ingraham The Underwood cemetery in Adirondack, Town of Horicon, is the final resting place for Melissa Barton Ingraham as well as other Ingrahams and includes a Civil War memorial marker for her son, John H. Ingraham, who was born in Horicon and started working as a lumberer at a young age (like the Underwoods). On 27 January 1861, claiming to be 20 years old, 5�6" tall, blue eyed with brown hair John H. enlisted as a private soldier in Company I of the 96th New York Infantry (I/96/N.Y.) in Pottersville for a three year term of service. Actually, John H., who was born 26 May 1844, was only 17. About 50 of his neighbors enlisted at the same time, under the command of C.H. Burhans. John H. was killed in combat on or about 31 May 1862, at or near Yorktown, Virginia, and his name appears on the burial register at the National Cemetery, Yorktown (he is buried in plot number 562). (A little more than 80 years before, the United States had won its independence on the same ground.) According to I/96/N.Y. records received from the National Archives, John H. was reported sick in Washington beginning 12 April 1862 and declared (in error) absent without leave 18 August 1862 (after his death). He had apparently been separated from his I/96/N.Y. and reassigned to another unit when he was killed (without his own unit�s knowledge). He was (in error) declared a deserter later in 1862 and was administratively mustered out of I/96/N.Y., at City Point, Virginia, 6 February 1886 (nearly four years after his death). Justly, albeit belatedly, the Adjutant General�s Office of the War Department, issued the following order from Washington, D.C. on 20 March 1888: John H. INGRAHAM, Co. I, 96th Regiment, N.Y. Vol�s, Notation "of Nov. 8. 1887 is canceled. All charges of absent without leave and desertion against this man, subsequent to April 30th, 1862, are removed. He is supposed to have died on or about May 31st, at or near Yorktown, VA, as his name appears on the burial register and Roll of Honor of the National Cemetery, Yorktown, VA." John H. Ingraham�s brother, Orange B. Ingraham (1846-1931), served in Company B, 46th Regiment, New York Volunteers and was wounded in the battle of Petersburg, Virginia. Orange H. Underwood (my grandfather) was named after Orange B. Bob Underwood
