John W. Humphrey
Seeking info on Sgt. John W. Humphrey of Chester Co., Pennsylvania.He was married to Kate Thompson and they had 2 daughters, Mary Clara (my g.g. grandmother) and Cora Jane who died young.He was mustered out summer 1864 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and never returned home. He had $100.00 back pay (a lot at that time!). I know that soldiers were prayed upon by highway men ("Cold Mountain") and I think that's what happened to him unless I can substantiate another scenario.
