27Division18 Posted February 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2018 I have a Civil War book with the name Lewis De Young of Rochester, New York written inside (I think that is his name -see pic). Can anyone tell me if he served in the Civil War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted February 5, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2018 Does it say New York? Also, what is the name of the street (if you can make it out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Magut Posted February 5, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2018 Yes, Lewis M DeYoung, or Louis DeYoung, served in Co K or L 2nd NY Cavalry in the war. He served as Lewis Young, of Rochester. Mustered in Sept 10, 1864, out July 1, 1865. Definitely him, as I find a later reference to him with the same 84 George St. Rochester address as on the book inscription. He came from a large Jewish family in Monroe County and was a horse trader and hack driver in postwar life. All info from Ancestry. The 2nd Cav unit roster has Lewis being captured at Cedar Creek 11/12/64, paroled at N.E. Ferry 3/3/65. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
