There is an obituary in the Syracuse Standard, 24 Feb 1870, p3 c7 for a Captain George W. Johnson. In the 1869-1870 Syracuse city directory there is a Johnson, George W. living at 119 Warren St. In the Oakwood Cemetery Records, held by the Onondaga County Public Library, there is a Johnson, George W. b 8-11-1839 in Constantia NY, died 2-24-1870 Syracuse NY. He's buried in section 22, lot 169. I also looked in the 1865 Town Clerk's census of Civil War Soldiers (also available at the library!) I cannot find him. In 1865 NYS census he's there living in ward 5 but I cannot find a similar listing in the town clerk census of civ war soldiers! The library also has a list of Civil War Soldiers from Onondaga County and there is a listing for George Johnson and it says he served in the Heavy Artillery, co 14. But there is a question mark after that. This group was organized in Rochester in 1863 and there is a George Johnson listed with them, he went in as a private however! I hope this is some help. Don't forget your librarians when you have these questions. The Onondaga County Public Library has an incredible genealogy/history collection. And while there is a lot to be found online, there's even more in your libraries. Holly Sammons, Librarian Local History/Genealogy Onondaga County Public Library 447 So.

Thanks so much for your help. I will keep the Onondaga County Library in mind. Does it just have Onondaga History or does it carry history for the region. I live in Knoxville, TN and might come up sometine. Thanks again. I have been on vacation or I would have responded earlier.
