Company B

Private

Andrew was my great-great-great grandfather. He had a son, Stephen, my great-great grandfather who might have served in the battalion too. However, he also had a nephew named Stephen (son of his brother James), and he might have been the Stephen Sergent listed in the Harlan Battalion roster. If anyone knows which Stephen actually served, please let me know. Andrew died sometime around 1896. (Surname is incorrectly spelled 'Sergeant' on the Company B roster.)
