Civil War. Nothing listed on Lydia. I think on the location they meant Troy township in Wright county. Eagle Grove is in Wright County. There was a Troy IA. at one time but in southern IA. You might try the Wright County Iowa Genealogical Society they may be of some help. Bob ==== IA-CIVIL-WAR Mailing List ==== Going away for more than 5 days? Please unsubscribe!
