I guess I am too dumb, or too lazy to search - Maybe both, but I am looking to see if there are any battlefield monuments for the following:

23rd Indiana (Company 1)

66th Indiana (Company K)

7th Missouri (Company G)

126th Ohio (Company H)

Thanks!!
 
I did find this for the 23rd Indiana. it's in Vicksburg where they were a major part of the seige

The 23rd has a monument/marker at Shiloh as well, while not specific to any company I figured I would put this here. I just found this minutes before this post and am ecstatic! I've been researching the 23rd for months and just happened to stumble across this gem. Hope you enjoy!

Found on: http://shilohnick.blogspot.com/2008/06/ with the text:
"On back of monument:
23d Infantry
Commanded by Col. William L. Sanderson
From Stony Lonesome, April 6, 1862, at 12 m., this regiment marched to a point near Clear Creek; countermarched there, it reached battlefield, via Savannah road, 7.30 p.m. April 7th, formed line of battle at sunrise, engaged the enemy, drove him to this position, where two hours of desperate fighting occurred. Enemy retreated, followed by this regiment until nightfall. Casualties--killed, 7 men; wounded, 1 officer and 34 men; missing, 1 man; total, 43."

66th Indiana (Company K)

My town of Collierville has a few Historical Markers and some Civil War Trails self-guided tour signs that mention the 66th Indiana. The 66 Indiana was garrisoned here in the fall of 1863 when the town was attacked by General Chalmers' cavalry division. I have the OR's that tell which companies were in that Battle.
I'm looking for another CW Trail marker, but here is the historical marker (front side) in the town square.
