    3. I am looking for my husband's ancestor who served with the Twenty-third Kentucky Infantry. "The camp of organization was Camp King, near Covington. The companies came from that part of the state, one being from Mason county, one from Pendleton and one being from Boone; the others from Campbell and Kenton. The 23d was recruited and organized by Col. Marc Mundy." [This info supplied by Gloria Rose-Gialdella] My husband's GG-Grandfather, Henry Speyer (sometimes spelled Speier), served Kentucky, was commissioned as Captain, D Company, 23rd Infantry Regiment. He resigned on 08 June 1862 [Source: Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky (Published by Harney, 1866)] . Also, according to "Union Regiments of Kentucky," he was captain of Company D. The above information was provided me by a friend. Family stories say that he was with the 23rd Volunteer Infantry from Indiana (this unit joined with a unit out of Paducah, KY), but as you can see, this was incorrect. His children were born in Kentucky and Iowa, but I have no idea where!?! Ancestry.com has his pension record as serving with Kentucky, and his widow as applying for benefits in Indiana. He was a member of (The Henry Speyer) Post 489 G.A.R out of Culver, Marshall County, IN. At ancestry.com, I found the following SPEYER families in Kentucky. 1870 SPEYER JULIUS Fayette County KY 191 1 W. Lexington Federal Population Schedule KY 1870 Federal Census Index KY519147504 1860 SPEYER JAMES Jefferson County KY 303 1 W Louisville Federal Population Schedule KY 1860 Federal Census Index KY107115056 Are these counties close to the counties that made up the 23rd? Thanks so much for any geography/genealogy information anyone can help me out on! Fredreica [email protected] Fredreica I am searching [email protected]
