This photograph shows officers of the 2nd Ohio Heavy Artillery at Chattanooga. Can anyone identify the men in the picture? My great, great uncle, Captain Philip Rothrock, served in this regiment.

According to the Civil War Index's rosters for the 2nd OHA, 2nd Lt. Wick Corwin was my two relatives Lieutenant.
That's cool.

I believe my great-great-grandfather, John Barrett, served with the Ohio 2nd Heavy Artillery. Born in Ireland in 1846, at age 17 he enlisted in the Union Army (3 year enlistment), Aug. 5, 1863 at Ironton, OH, as a Private in Company H, 2nd Regiment of the Ohio Heavy Artillery. Apparently he was illiterate, as he signed his "Volunteer Enlistment" paper with an "X", which was witnessed by James A. Dresbach, dated Aug. 24, 1863. Private Barrett contracted a disease of the stomach during the Civil War which killed him 15 years after the war, at age 34 in 1880. After his death, his widow applied to the War Department for Civil War survivor benefits which were granted to her.

I checked the newspapers, as very occasionally a photo will appear there. I did find this article in The Highland Weekly News (Hillsboro, OH) which may be of interest.
