Notes |
- Hijah, 18 years old, joined Capt. Gorsuch's Co. I, 94th Ohio Inf., August 5, 1862, enrolling for a period of 3 years. He mustered in at Camp Piqua, Ohio on Aug. 23, 1862. He was living at Franklin Twp. (Darke Co.), OH at the time. His Muster Roll says that Hijah died of disease at Murfreesboro TN., January 25, 1863. It describes him as 18 years old, 5' 5" light complexion, gray eyes and brown hair. It stated that his occupation was as a farmer and indicates he was born in Darke Co., OH. His parents were living in Miami Co., Ohio in 1850, so we're not sure if he was born in Darke or Miami Co. of Ohio. His mother, Martha is granted the 139.00 that came from Hijah's military service when her husband, John Coats died in 1864.
