    Re: Union Soldier Great Grandfather

        Shaun,

        Still working on it, there is some debate on where he was during the time frame. My Aunt who has done the geneology for that side of my family is working hard to find an answer. As soon as I know I will post it here. I am curious as to where his uniform originates from?

          This doesn't add to the thread but I think one of my ancestors was in the 11th Indiana. A zouave unit.

            Still another tack,

            If it is known where & when your ancestor died, search the archives of the local newspaper for an obituary notice. Might even be online, via state or local historical society. Many (but not all) of the obituaries of veterans noted the unit in which they served.

            Happy hunting,

              I was digging into the identity more and when I contacted my Aunt who sent me the picture in the first place, she said that the lady she had talked to about the name was up in the years and may not have gotten the name to the picture right and when we dug some more we came up with George Jarrett who served with the 155th Illinois from Feb. 65 to Sept. 65 guarding the RR from Nashville to Chattanooga. They lost 71 men to desease during that time. We are pretty certain that the soldier in the picture is my Great etc grandfather George Jarrett.

                FWIW, I did a quick look in the rosters of the 53rd and 76th OVI and did not find any Bartletts listed, either officer or enlisted.
