I didn't have any better luck trying to read the NARA image than you did. However, I can confirm that Camp Supply was located in Western Oklahoma (south of Ft. Dodge, Kansas, due east of the northeast corner of the Texas Panhandle, on the North branch of the Canadian River). If you want some info on the history of Camp Supply in the 1860s, see "Frontier Regulars, The United States Army and the Indian, 1866 - 1890", by Robert M. Utley (consult Index for "Camp Supply"). Regarding height, I think it is saying Thomas was 5 feet 6.5 inches tall (virtually everyone on the list was 5 feet something tall -- see the first row on the page in the feet column). Although very hard to read, I think his regiment might be 3rd Infantry, which Utley says was stationed at Camp Supply at least for a while in 1867. His company sees to be listed as something like "CC" which makes no sense to me. Where did you get his enlistment being for 3 years? In that column the last entry above him seems to be a 3. If you look above his line for "Where" he enlisted (his row is blank) it might be suggested that he enlisted in New York. ______________________________ On 15 March 2014, Nancy wrote: Message: 1 Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:13:43 -0500 From: Nancy <[email protected]> Subject: [ROOTS-L] Fwd: Help in deciphering NARA images on Ancestry To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]om> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I need help in figuring out faint images on the following.
