Yes, yes, this must be it!!! His parents lived in Fountain Co. SW of Lafayette and my gggmother Lucy Churchill was from Montgomery Co., just south!!! So he enlisted in his home region. Am still not sure he's the teacher, but there is no other with the right age (b. 1839).
This is very exciting as I've been searching for years--just put in the right combination on Ancestry.com. This means I have direct ancestors for both the Amer Rev (Capt. Joseph Churchill, 8th CT militia, battle of Brooklyn, White Plains) and the CW. I've also got a gggguncle, John Shook, 36th IL, who died of wounds at Stone's River and 2 women relatives who went to the field, both Demings, mother of the 10th MI and disguised in Co. A, 17th OH. Isn't this great?
Thank you, thankyou,
Kay
