This is my 3rd Great Grandfather.
I have his Draft Registration, and a document from U.S. National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, 1866-1938 (Dayton, Ohio). I believe his Company is 'A'. It was difficult to read.

Thomas is my great great uncle, brother of my great great grandfather Jacob Book from Lewis County. I do have a copy of a letter he wrote to his mother while gone. He had obviously lied about his age in order to go to war. His parents were William S. Book and Julia A. Scott.
