I haven't given up

What was the town he lived in.His age in the time frame you gave me.There is no John E.Guth in an Illinois regiment. I thought maybe the sub used his name as it sounds like he did all this on his own.I can check muster rolls from Tazewell CO.if I know a town. Is Guth German or Dutch?From your time frame whoever joined in his place would have probably mustered into the 73rd or greater as they mustered in Aug of 1862.Same with the 85th and 86th.My memory says they were paid a bounty $50.00 from the Gov. to enlist.Many of this time frame did have their own guns as they were hurriedly thrown together as the Army of Ohio to ward off a Confederate threat to Ohio.Veteran regiments were brought to Ohio to show just how to act.My GGGrandfather 36 IL.Inf. was one of the veteran Regiments. The 44th another. The 44th had men from Tazewell but, mustered in 1861. That Army became the Army of the Cumberland. I know much of the 73rd known as the preacher regiment.I own a regimental history.As time permits I'll work on it.My famliy came to ILL. in 1853-4
