If he was killed in 1864 in Piedmont, VA would not that have been in present-day Mineral County, WV? I'm not aware of any historical town in Rockingham County named Piedmont. He was killed on Mt. Crawford? In Rockingham County? Hmmm, there is no mountain there. Something is wrong with the geographical description. I think we can solve this, but Rockingham is probably the wrong County.

Wilmer, thanks for your help. I have searched online for old Civil War maps of the area but can find none. His Civil War service record under the Company Muster Roll Remarks section says the he was killed in the battle at Mount Crawford, June 5/64. It is singed by a man named Springsteen. Then on the next section is a Muster-out Roll, and under remarks it says Killed in the battle at Piedmont VA June 5/64. This is also signed by Mr. Springsteen. Then there is a full page certification of name, physical description, where he was born, when and where he was recruited. It also says he was killed at the battle of Mount Crawford, VA on the 5th day of June 1864. Then it says printed at the bottom, "Given in Duplicate" then handwritten "at Camp Carrington, Indiana this 30th say of June 1864. And it is signed by Auguste Fis? Capt, Co H 28th then something like Ar P.O.V. (I think this may stand for private in the Ohio Volunteer Infantry...he was a private in the 28th OVI) Not knowing the area in question, I am struggling a bit to figure this out. Plus it is confusing as you point out. Also, in the battle notes for the battle of Piedmont there is a reference to heavy fighting near the Col. Crawford house.
