Ruel was my Great, Great, Great uncle, being one of 6 Merrill brothers from Windsor Maine who served in the Civil War, all surviving, including my Great, Great grandfather, Leonard Merrill, of the 2nd ME Cavalry. I believe Ruel might have been a pioneer from this regiment. He was injured when felling trees between Williamsburg and Whitehouse Landing about May 7, 1862. Though seriously injured, he continued to serve until mustered out with the regiment. In 'Maine at Gettysburg', he is shown on detached service during the battle, I believe as an ambulance corps driver.
