Saw this in your latest MOJEFFER-D Digest V01 #293 of October 26, 2001. I believe this could be my GG-grandfather although the birth/death dates are a little bit different. Joseph Minker / January 4, 1834 - April 12, 1910. Recruit, Company D. 20th, > Illinois Infantry. > My GG-grandfather was born 4 Jan. 1837 in Pennsylvania. He married Harriett Ann Keffer on 18 Feb 1867 in Franklin Co., Missouri. He died 1 Apr 1910 in De Sota, Jefferson, MO and was buried 3 Apr 1910 in Mammoth Cemetery, in Frumet, Missouri. They had twelve children, all born in the DeSota, Big River Township area in Missouri. Do you have any more information on the Joseph Minker you listed?
