Charlie, I am still working on tying all the "tidbits" I have found together to compile the Cornell history but here is a "tidbit" that you might be interested in..... > Peter Cornell Born Feb, 1820 was a Private in the Civil War in Company > D,179th.Reg. Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He enrolled Sept. 3, 1864; discharged June > 17, 1865 Nashville TN. Born Gallia County, Ohio; age 44; physical > description: 5'll" tall; complextion fair, eyes blue; hair auburn; occupation: farmer. > I like seeing the description so I can imagine what they looked like and/or who in the family might resemble them. I know that "redheads" is a trait of my line (smile). If you should find any further information on his military history I would appreciate receiving it too. Also you might be able to prove your direct descend from him to you and get into the First Civil War Families in Gallia County. F.K. Brown > > > > >
