Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb

Typing in Chilcote produced the following results:
RG98S-CWP 177.19 Post Civil War bust image of Pvt. Joseph F. Chilcote, Co. D, 22nd Regt., Pa. Vol. Cav. This is an outdoors view.
RG98S-CWP 212.38 Post war bust image of Pvt. Marcus Dana Chilcote, Co. E, 64th Regt., Ohio National Guard and Co. E, 144th Regt., Ohio Vol. Infantry.
Hope this helps someone,
