I received the military records of my gggrandfather who volunteered in the Civil War on August 11, 1862. He was part of Company E 68th Regiment. The records state he enlisted from Lawrenceburg, IN, which was approximately 75 miles from Indianapolis. His first wife was Mary Ellen Nelson. They had twins, Albert, and the other baby (George), died at birth. Her father was Samuel Nelson. He had been a prisoner for a short time, had fought in the battle of Chickamuga, and saved the few remaining men in his unit, and for that, was promoted September 16, 1864, to Corporal. Jacob went on to become a farmer, first in Illinois, then in Missouri, acquiring much land which made him and his brother George, very wealthy. After farming, he went into politics, and was elected Associate Justice of the St. Charles County Court, Missouri, according to the Portrait and Biographical Record I was able to locate. Now I'd like to find information on him from Indianapolis and Lawrenceburg, Indiana, if possible. I'd hoping to find he married in Indianapolis or Lawrenceburg, IN. It's my pleasure to be a part of this list group. Sincerely, Lynn DeTrano Lynde126
