An Ancestor who registered for the Civil War
On Memorial Day 2013, I was looking through Military Records
on Ancestry.com and I found a "draft record" for Rily Goins of Licking,
in Muskingum County, Ohio. The 'draft record" is really a book with a
list of names in it. It says that Rily Goins was born in 1836 and he was
27 at the time. It also says "black" but " born in Germany." Every
data point, age, color(ed) and the name Rily, matches the person I have
come to know over the years except the "born in Germany" part.
