I have it as the 4th West Virginia Calvary. Yes it is confusing. He was also in the 187th Militia. Here is a transcribed letter from Robert Hager that talks about Gomery. Joel The following is a copy of a letter written by Robert Hager, when he was a member of the Legislature, and when the State Capitol was at Wheeling, West Virginia, and was written to his son E. A. Hager: Wheeling, Dec. 15th, 1868 Dear Son: Yours of the 31st was gladly received; It found me well. I was glad to hear from you, and that all was well and doing well. I received a letter from Alfred today; he said much about hunting. I expect the deer will all be killed before I get home. We are getting along fine; I think we will get done the Code by the 20th Inst. If I can know when we will get through, I will write for a horse, if I know in time for a letter to get home in time for them to bring a horse to Brownstown. I don't expect to write but one more letter, and that will be to Gomery, and that will be tomorrow, or next day, as I would get home before a letter wrote after that time. I do not want you to get mad and eat up all the venison before I come home. Tell Nan to take good care of her boy, I expect he will be big enough to plow by spring; then you can hoe the corn and that will save her from that. I will close for the present; it is almost nine o'clock, and is half a mile to the post office. Yours as ever Robert Hager E. A.

I know hes not listed in the 7th Wv Cavalry. Uncle "Gomery" was always on grandmother Fannie Hager Baisden's mind. Many a story she told about 'uncle Gomery".I visit his grave on Six Mile creek often.
