I thought on this Veteran's Day. Thank you have served and those serving. Thank you for your service! I thought I would write about some civil war veterans in my family tree.
Herman Pringey is Henson S Liston's brother-in-law. They both served during Civil War for the Union Army in the 6th West Virginia Calvery. Henson Liston saw action at Winchester, Cedar Mountain and the Second Battle of Bull Run. Henson also participated in General Siegel's campaign on the Rappahannock River Herman introduced Henson to his sister, Candance. Herman's baby sister, Abigail, also married a Civil War veteran, Jacob Martin who fought in Gettysburg, When the war was over, they all moved to Iowa later settling near each other in Cass County Iowa. Herman and Henson are both are buried in the Newlon Grove Cemetary in Cass County, Iowa.
