My father always spoke of his mother's cousin, Jacob Tucker, who would take him on his lap and tell him stories of the battle in the cornfield before Antietam and do the rebel yell for him. My father never knew that his cousin Jacob was awarded a Medal of Honor for heroism at the Battle of Petersburg.

Mahlon Hibbs WEST was my Great-Great Uncle. Born 1843(?) Port Deposit, MD. Was mustered in 9 June 1862 and Died 05 August 1864 at Andersonville Prison, Georgia of Scorbutus. He was sent to Andersonville in February 1864, so he was probably one of the first to be held at Andersonville. His highest rank was Private.

He was my grandfather. I am interested in contacting any other descendants.

John Parrish, the twin of Peter Parrish, is my great grandfather.

Peter and twin brother, John, served in company F from 7 August, 1862 until May 31, 1865. Peter is my great grandfather.
