Here we go again with an elusive ancestor. He was born in Mnt. Washington Mass. in 1837. Moved to Sweden, Monroe NY in 1850 (census) In 1860 he was living in Peoria Ill. and is listed as a RR conductor. Was he exempt from service because of this ? What Railroads were in Peoria at that time ? In 1870 he's in Texas. His brothers served in NY units. (I have that data) His mother was living in Highland, Doniphan Kansas in 1870. She died the following year.
