I am trying to identify which officer in this pic was my gg grandfather - (John L Linton agrd 40yrs from a well-to-do Philadelphia family and his grandfather was a Capt in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War)- he was QuarterMaster in the 4th NJ Regiment April 1861 mustered out after Bull Run end July 1861.
(How can I post the picture jpeg?) (I have registered and am waiting for my confirmation to the site)
All the Field & Staff of the Regiment are present in this pic (inlc the 2 surgeons in plain clothes). Are there any clues in the caps, swords or shoulder boards?
Any info much appreciated - I love what I have learnt so far in this search - details like the red sash worn across the shoulder meaning 'Acting Officer for the Day'....
Thanks! Rachael Linton.
