As we live in BC They definitely have them; my local LDS FHC has them. Perhaps you have to look under Ohio rather than locality. > Their son David (our grandfather)was a Volunteer in the Civil War, he > enlisted in Elkhart, Indiana.

That's what my family did. Cambridge is on the old national road, & this was an area where canals and rivers, the early railroads, & this road made westward transportation very easy (for the time). Also, enlistment in neighboring states was common. I don't know why this happened.
