Abraham's father was Abraham who was born in 1804 in PA.  His son Abraham was 
one of 11 children born in Leesburg Twp., Union Co., OH.  He and four brothers 
fought in the Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  Abraham enlisted a total of three 
times.  He was wounded and captured and sent to Andersonville Prison plus one 
other prison prior to release.  He married Cynthia Grubb in OH and later moved 
to IL and then on to Coffey Co., KS.  Abraham and Cynthia had a son born in 
OH, a daughter born in IL and a second son born in KS. 

Abraham is buried in an 'Old Soldiers' section of the cemetary in Burlington 
and a nice headstone was placed on his burial site.  Cynthia continued to live 
there long after his death.
