Yes, I don't know how I missed it when I looked before, but looking again I do see Robert C. Ives in the 19th Iowa. I assume his wound occurred at the Battle of Prairie Grove?
As for Charles, since he's buried in Michigan and has other connections as well, I'm about ready to bet money that this is him:
44. Charles W. Ives. Private, Co. A and C, 3rd Michigan Cavalry. (ICSR)
As for Erastus, I've only found one C.W. soldier by that name, and he was even from Ohio, where I see your guy had connections. This is intriguing, but I don't think it's actually your man. You'll note the death date is wrong by about 6 months. Close, but probably not close enough:
60. Erastus P. Ives. Born at Bedford, Ohio, he enlisted at Cleveland on 9/21/1861, at the age of 18. On 10/21/1861 at Camp Wood, Ohio, he was mustered in as a Private in Captain Cole’s Company, later designated Co. D, 41st Ohio Infantry. In late January or early February of 1862 he was hospitalized at Louisville, KY, where he died of a “fever” on 2/20/1862. The exact date of his hospitalization is in doubt, since regimental returns give no fewer than four different dates, one of which is after the date of his death. (CSR)
And on the intriguing front, I have to mention that there was also one soldier named Ashley Ives in the war, and HE was ALSO from Ohio. Don't see how this could be your Ashley Ives, but again it's intriguing. Perhaps a relative? Say, a nephew, named after his uncle?
23. Ashley R. Ives. Born in Pittsfield, Ohio, he was 20 when he enlisted 5/18/1861 at Cleveland, for three years. He mustered into federal service as a Private, Co. A, 23rd Ohio Infantry, 6/11/1861, at Camp Jackson, near Columbus, Ohio. This regiment operated for most of the war in western Virginia – today’s state of West Virginia. Ashley Ives’ service for the next two years is not well documented. Regimental returns show he was absent on detached service “at Glenville” beginning 9/3/1861 and returning on an unknown date. In October, 1861, he was apparently with the regiment, being assigned daily duty as a pioneer. Beginning 10/14/1861 he was again absent on detached service, the length and reason for detached service not being stated. He was absent on leave from 3/9 until 4/8/1862, and beginning on 4/8 was listed as absent sick in Pittsfield, Ohio. His return to the regiment is not documented, but he was listed as present from May through August, 1863. He re-enlisted and was mustered in as a veteran volunteer at Charleston, WV on 10/1/1863. He appears to have been granted veteran’s re-enlistment leave beginning 10/18/1863, and had returned to the regiment by March of 1864. He was present with his company from March until 7/14/1864, when he was admitted to the U.S. Army General Hospital at Parkersburg, WV, for treatment of syphilus. He remained hospitalized at Parkersburg until he deserted from the hospital 11/24/1864. His hospitalization record also mentions a possible wound received during the siege of Charleston on (month unreadable) 15, 1863, caused by “(unreadable) fire of a mortar.” Hospital records also give his residence – Lorane County, Ohio, state he was single, and give his next of kin as John Ives of “Rochester Station.” (CSR)
