Company B
Hugh Farley
- Private
Hugh Farley was my great, great grandfather. He served in the 12th, company B along with his brother, Patrick. I have certified copies of service records obtained by my father's aunt in 1935 that details their service, wounds and imprisonment, probably in Richmond, VA. Hugh and Patrick are buried in Holliston, MA, where they were from. Both survived the war- one, the prisoner, was traded at Annapolis after the war.I am looking for anyone with more info on these men.
