Dan,
Thanks for the info. Henry would have been 46y/o in 1864(born in 1818) and his son, Charles Dewitt (born 1855), would have been 17y/o. My Henry Backus was a physician and Charles was a R.R. clerk so I suspect the enlistment ages are not correct. It would be too much of a coincidence to have that much data in common and not be my Henry and Charles.
I am trying to find where in New York Henry Backus was from. Aren't brick walls fun? Thanks again for the help.Karen
