Comments

I descend for John's brother David.  If you study John's war service, it was incredible.  He was on little round top at Gettysburg, witnessing Pickett's charge.  His eye injury was caused by a fellow soldier's musket blast.  Much info can be gotten from his 155 PA INF Regiment's book, which was online at a Pittsburgh Library.
