Mary,
I'm sorry i have taken so long in responding to your excelleny Neil Bancroft information of 5/23. So that you'll know, his Medal of Honor is in the Smithsonion in Washington. Every thing I've read says that he left the service before getting the medal and he never did receive it. Also, I can find no birth record for him in New York State - - nor any record for him on either the 1860 or 1870 Federal census. I suspect it was not his real name and that he was probably running away from something or someone when he enlisted in the army in Chicago in 1873. Just a guess.
Neil
