Re: ZDUTTON – Woody and Betty's Excellent Adventure

George Hughes (and brothers Eli Phillip & John B.) served in the AL 1st Cav
USA, Co I.  Other relatives were in the same company, but I can't remember
exactly which ones/who.  The roster is available at the Civil War HomePage
- just remember your looking under the Union forces, not confederate.
