We found William ; can't find Henry. William was from Johnsburg and Henry from Essex County. Would assume that persons in the B 96th Infantry Regiment were compatriots if not neighbors; I searched on Plattsburg, Glens Falls, Castleton, looking for Henry . Does anyone have any other suggestions? With William's record is a back up file of where the 96th Infantry Regiment NY served (listing of battles) and those who served listed on the same roster with William.
