Would love to know the story of the soldier listed as having "Atlantic Ocean" nativity :)

Re: Harrison County roster: co. H

That would be someone born during a crossing most likely.

Re: Harrison County roster: co. H

Yeah and it may be the one Bell Wiley talks about in "Billy Yank." Pretty strict definition of nativity :)

Hiffner, Augustus. Age 24. Residence Appanoose County, nativity Atlantic Ocean.
Enlisted Feb. 7, 1862. Mustered Oct. 18, 1862.

Re: Harrison County roster: co. H

I did a brief study for a stats class of the information provided by the Roster and Records and found several soldiers' nativity listed as "at sea." Unfortunately, that study was lost on a previous computer, so I don't have it to share here anymore.
