| Notes |
- 1850 Census Taylor, Owen, Indiana as Ja???Gette.(the question marks are part of the interpretation)
1870 Census Mariposa, Jasper Iowa states as Lafayette ALLOWAY; born in Indiana.
1880 Census Dexter, Furnase, Nebraska as Lafeyett ALLWAY
1900 Census Oxford, Furnas, Nebraska he states he was born in Indiana
- His farm was 9 miles NE Beaver City, Nebraska.
His daughter, Alma Thorntons, death certificate states he was born in Pennsylvania. My grandmother, Viola Thornton, was listed on the document as the informant for information given. As she was 71 at the time I feel she misrepresented the place of birth. It should be Indiana. Her grandmother Hanna's father was born in Pennsylvania and I feel she confused that fact.

This regiment was organized at Indianapolis in May, 1861, for
one year, was mustered in May 11 and left for Evansville June
11, to take the place of the 11th regiment for blockade duty.
It left the state on July 23, for Sandy Hook, Md., where it
was assigned to Abercrombie's brigade, Banks' Army of the
Shenandoah. Lieut.-Col. Link was promoted to colonel, when
Col. Wallace resigned, Maj. Humphreys was made lieutenant
colonel, and Capt. Henry Hubler of Co. E became major.
The regiment was in camp at Pleasant Valley and Hyattstown
until Sept. 11, when it moved to Williamstown, where it was on
picket and outpost duty by companies, with frequent
skirmishes, until March, 1862. It then marched for
Winchester, skirmished near there on the 11th, and was the
first regiment to enter the town the morning following its
evacuation.
It engaged in various movements until April 3, was then in

The regiment was immediately reorganized at Indianapolis for

invasion of Kirby Smith, and participated in the battle of
Richmond, Ky., where it lost 173 in killed and wounded. Col.
Link was mortally wounded, most of the men were taken
prisoners but were paroled and were exchanged in November.
After the exchange the regiment moved for Holly Springs,
Miss., and marched to the Tallahatchie River in December. It
was stationed at Grand Junction in Jan. 1863, and in the
spring was placed on duty at Collierville, Tenn. It was
assigned to Logan's (15th) corps, Army of the Tennessee, and
moved to Vicksburg in June, remaining in the trenches until

to May 1, 1864. In the Atlanta campaign it was engaged at
Resaca, New Hope Church, Dallas, Kennesaw mountain, and
Jonesboro, losing 240 men killed and wounded between Dalton
and Atlanta. It joined in pursuit of Hood through Georgia and
Alabama and on Nov. 14 moved for Savannah.

Bentonville. It then marched to Raleigh, Richmond and
Washington, and was mustered out at the last named place June
