Looking for info on Pvt Jabez Archibald Bradford, 27th Indiana Regiment. Looks like it may have been spelled "Jabous" on some documents possibly. From what I've found it looks like he died in a hospital in early 1864, curious to see when he was mustered in if anyone can find that info. Thanks!

Twenty-seventh Infantry. Col., Silas Colgrove; Lieut.-Cols.
Archibald T. Harrison, Abisha L. Morrison, John R. Fesler;
Majs., John Mehringer, William S. Johnson, George W. Burge,
Theodore F. Colgrove

This regiment was organized at Indianapolis in Aug. 1861, and
was mustered in Sept. 12. It left the state Sept. 15, for
Washington City where it was transferred to Banks' Army of the
Shenandoah in October.

It was in winter quarters near Frederick City, Md., and joined
the movement in Shenandoah Valley in March, 1862, marching
into Winchester on the 9th and after the battle of March 22-
23, joined in pursuit of Jackson's army. It was in the
battles of Front Royal and Winchester in May, holding back a
vastly superior force for nearly 4 hours, after which it fell
back with the army and engaged the enemy in the public
streets.

It became part of Banks' division of Pope's Army of Virginia
at Culpeper Court House and with that command participated in
the battle of Cedar Mountain. It then took part in the
Maryland campaign and was actively engaged at Antietam, where
it lost heavily. It was then placed on picket duty, on the
east bank of the Potomac, from Harper's Ferry to the mouth of
Opequan creek, and during the winter moved to the vicinity of
Fairfax Station, where it remained until spring.

It participated in the battle of Chancellorsville, losing
heavily, and in pursuit of Lee's invading army marched with
the 12th corps through Maryland into Pennsylvania, reaching
Gettysburg in time to take a prominent part in that battle,
and in the resistance to Pickett's charge on July 3, suffering
heavy loss.

It then joined in the pursuit of the retreating army to the
Potomac. In September it was transferred to the West with the
12th corps and was stationed at Tullahoma, Tenn., during the
fall and winter.

A portion of the regiment reenlisted on Jan. 24, 1864, and
after their return from furlough, it joined Sherman in
Georgia, participating in the battle of Resaca, where, on an
open field, it defeated the 32nd and 38th Ala., inflicting
heavy loss and taking the battle flag, colonel and 100
prisoners of the 38th. Its own loss was 68 killed and
wounded.

It participated in all the marching and skirmishing, battles and
assaults of the army in the Atlanta campaign, moving to the city
at its conclusion. The non-veterans were mustered out Nov. 4,
1864, the veterans and remaining recruits being transferred to
the 70th regiment, and serving with it through the campaign to
Savannah and up through the Carolinas.

On the muster-out of the regiment they were transferred to the
33rd, with which they served until its muster out at
Louisville, July 21, 1865. The original strength was 1,052;
gain by recruits, 116; reenlistments, 154; total, 1,322. Loss
by death, 275; desertion, 47; unaccounted for, 52.

If he's buried in Crown Hill down in Indianapolis you would have fun just finding his grave, I've walked through there and the place is H-U-G-E. I wanna say its one of, if not, the largest cemetery in the U.S. not ran by the feds. A lot of historical and famous figures buried there.

As for what hospital he may have passed away in, im not sure. I know there was a very large military hospital built in the southern part of Indiana but it was near the Ohio River.
 
I wonder if this man ever left Indiana or if his trip south was of a very short duration. Another soldier with less than a month of service.
 
ETR,
You come up with great info on everyone's ancestors, I was wondering, if you could find the time, would you mind seeing what you could come up with on my g-g-g-grandfather, Captain Alex W. Rowe of Company F & E 9th Tennessee Cavalry? I would really appreciate it as I've hit pretty much a wall when it comes to him.

Thanks for the info. Could be either one I guess, I'll have to dig around some more and wow only a month? Poor guy, barely in and died of disease, I guess that was pretty common place really.
 
ETR,
You come up with great info on everyone's ancestors, I was wondering, if you could find the time, would you mind seeing what you could come up with on my g-g-g-grandfather, Captain Alex W. Rowe of Company F & E 9th Tennessee Cavalry? I would really appreciate it as I've hit pretty much a wall when it comes to him.

I'll see what I can find. The source I subscribe to, American Civil War Research Database has very little on Tennessee Confederates. I did find two separate records for A.W. Rowe Capt Co.F 9th TN Cavalry. Also 1st Sergeant Co C Tennessee Brown Horse Artillery. Could it be the same man ? If so, here's a photo of his Captain
