Company F- 7th Regimen, Iowa Vol.
I am trying to find out info. such as parents names, etc. on my gr.gr.grandfather, Wm F. Backus, who according to a copy of one paper we do have, served in Com. F,7th Regimen of Iowa Volunteers. This was a copy of re-enlistment in 1864 and was signed by a J.C. Parrott (I can't read his rank). Wm was to report to this person in Kevkuk, Iowa. Another document (can only read parts of) says he (Wm. Backus) was a private under a Captain Peter W.(rest of last name is faded). It says he was discharged on July 12, 1865.Any help in finding out who his parents were, etc. would be great! e-mail is [email protected]
