My grandpa Mark Glovers father. I would be interested in news about the regiment.

Charles Lackey is my great-great grandfather, and I have over 40 letters that he wrote to his wife Deborah, during the war.

I have a copy of a letter Mr. Roddy wrote on behalf of Pvt. Glover, I would share it with anyone interested.

Chauncy enlisted Aug. 12, 1862. Shortly after, his brother-in-law, George Sumner Chamberlain, also enlisted. Quite some time later still, another brother-in-law, Edward Chamberlain, enlisted into the same company. Chauncy and Edward were killed at Spottsylvania.

Edward joined the regiment much later than did his brother-in-law, Chauncy Butler, and his brother, George Sumner Chamberlain. Edward and Chauncy were both killed at Spottsylvania. George spent a lot of time in hospitals (I wish I knew more about that).

George enlisted right after his brother-in-law, Chauncy Butler. George's brother Edward enlisted some time later. Chauncy and Edward were both killed at Spottsylvania. George spent a lot of time in military hospitals (wish I knew more about that).
