Jonathan Wixson was living in Bolivar in 1890 and participated in the census but told the census taker he had lost his discharge papers. The National Park Service Soldiers and Sailors web page lists a Jonathan Wixon (mispelled) as serving in Co. K, 136th NY Infantry. This company had many recruits from Allegany County, NY. This regiment fought at Gettysburg among many other battles. Your ancestor may or may not have served in that Company and Regiment during the great battle.
