94th Ohio Infantry

Phillip Knorre was my husband''s greatgrandfather. He had only been in America a few short years when the war broke out. He lived in Tipp City ( Tippicanoe, Ohio ) at the time of the war. I have also researched this regiment for over 14 years if anyone else is interested. Thanks, Linda Cooper
