Does your book include the 77th Ohio Volunteer Infantry? One source says my g-g-grandfather, James Templin Holliday, was a chaplain in this outfit during the Civil War. He would have joined in 1863 or later, I think. J.T.H. was in Adams County at one time, and also preached at Marietta. Thank you for telling us about this book.
