JACOB SIDNEY & DELILAH (SHROCK) MISER
Subj: Re: Thanks, Encore? Date: 11/10/98 8:03:25 AM EST From: mlevins@BGNet.bgsu.edu (Marilyn Levinson) To: Corpmiz@aol.com Charles, There is no problem with doing another look-up for you of Jacob Sydney Miser. A check of the "Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866" found a listing for him with Co.G of the 80th O.V.I. as you indicated. He is listed as having mustered-in at the age of 20 on Feb. 29, 1864 and mustered-out on Aug. 13, 1865. Of additional interest, there were several other Miser family members in the same Company. John E. Miser (1) (who was 20 when he mustered-in on Nov. 30, 1861), John W. Miser (who was 20 when he mustered-in on March 9, 1864), and Simon P. Miser (who was 18 when he mustered-in on Feb. 17, 1865). As I suggested before, you might consider sending to the National Archives for any pension file which might be helpful. The appropriate form can be obtained by writing the General Reference Branch (NNRG-P), National Archives and Records Administration, 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20408. I hope this information is of some help to you. If you think we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Marilyn Levinson Curator of Manuscripts *%*%*%* Marilyn Levinson % Bowling Green State University % Center for Archival Collections % mlevins@bgnet.bgsu.edu % NOTES: (1). John Edward Myser (1842 - 1928) was a brother of Jacob Sidney Miser.
80th Ohio Volunteer Infantry
History:Organized in December, 1861, under Colonel E.R. Eckley, it left Ohio for the field in February, 1862. In April it joined Halleck's army in front of Corinth and after the evacuation operated in Northern Mississippi, taking part in the battle of Iuka, where it lost 45 men. It took a prominent part afterwards in the battle at Corinth, losing heavily, and joined Grant's movement into Mississippi. In March, 1863, the Regiment moved down the Mississippi River, marching with Grant's forces in the rear of Vicksburg, fighting at Port Gibson, Raymond and Jackson; and during the siege at Jackson it lost 90 men. In November it marched across the country from Memphis in time to assault Mission Ridge, where it lost nearly 100 men. In January, 1864, the men re-enlisted and went to Ohio in April, and in June joined Sherman's Atlanta campaign. The Regiment was stationed at Resaca when Hood's forces invested the place, and demanded its surrender, which was refused. The 80th marched to the sea with Sherman, through the Carolinas, then to Richmond, Washington, Louisville and Arkansaw. From Dyer's Compendium: 80th Regiment Infantry.
