I am looking for information on a Jonathan Cessna who served in Co F, 43rd
Regiment of the Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. He was born in
Coshocton (?) Co, Ohio. Does anyone know of a connection to families of
Skinner, Terry, Cogswell, Dart or Vertz? His discharge papers were with
other family papers and I don't know why. My great-grandfathers discharge
papers were also in the family but he was in the Colorado Volunteers and
after the war help to found Lincoln Co., Kansas. Any information may help
to solve my puzzle. Thank you.
Do you have any dates for this Jonathan.
I have about 7 or 8 of them in my tree that could have been in the civil war
and one that died 1868 in Lawrence County, Illinois
Paul
From the discharge papers I have that he was 45 years of age, 5' 9 " high,
dark complexion, hazel eyes, dark hair and by occupation, when enrolled, a
Farmer. (Discharge) Given at Little Rock, Ark this 25th day of February
1864. Hope that helps - its all I have. Thank you
