He served in Co. B 7th WV Union and was wounded at the seige of Petersburg. Isaac and Cynthia lived in Ohio and in Parkersburg, WV before moving to a homestead in Wright Co, MO about 1885 where they lived the rest of their lives. One cousin has heard he was Cherokee. We have a picture of him and he was definitely non- caucasian with a dark complexion, but his pension file says he had hazel eyes.
