He was discharged June 20th 1865. I have not been able to locate his birthdate or list of family members. I would appreciate any assistance you can give

Jeremiah Robbins was married to Almira C./Elmira and at the time of his death they had two sons, James and Charles M. Before Apr. 1870 Almira would marry Henry S. Morgan, a paternal uncle of mine. I'm trying to learn more about Jeremiah in hopes it will help me learn why Henry, born in Wales, was in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and Almira's maiden name.
