One of my GGGF is a bit of an enigma......I have one who has quite a bit of family lore and documented history passed down, he is the one I usually refer as my GGGF. He was Joseph Rodgers Boldridge.
But I have a 2nd who is actually my namesake, Stephen Kerrick.......but no family lore of his CW service other then he joined at 16. Records I find show him enlisting in Capt Priests company MSG about 5 miles from where I live....my house today is on his land (its kinda cool I own 140 of Stephens land and 130 of JR my other CW GGGF.
But thats it........so either he was one of the few who after serving his MSG term of 3 months, was able to return home and be unmolested by the militia
Or he went on to join some CSA unit whose records didn't survive the war, either way he survives and dies a respected farmer here buried 3 miles from me...in same cemetery as my other CW GGGF, same as my parents and most generations
