Micajah Gibbs (1836 - 1909) 142nd New York Infantry Company H. Need civil war group help

Question

We have much info about Micajah Gibbs but need help with categories and civil war sticker. I can’t find him under https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=UNY0142RI unless I missed it and he is under a different spelling or name. Any help updating his profile is appreciated. A great civil war profile! Also his brother Leander A  Gibbs was in the 193rd New York and I believe was wounded in the civil war and died a few years after?

FYI he is my first cousin 5x removed

Answer 1

I think it has to do with the spelling of his first name in the records!  Tried Michah, and just M - looks like your man!
