Dean, I too have a gg uncle with an unclaimed civil war medal in WV. I would love to be able to claim it. What kind of records did you have to provide? I really don't know much about him except that he was killed at the wilderness and he served with the 7th wv infantry. His brother was my gg grandfather and my ggrandfather was named after him. I know he was raised in Greene Co. PA and enlisted at Cameron WV. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And congratulations on getting the medal! Barb
