Scranton/Schoharie/Tioga
My gg grandfather was William Scranton. He was born in Schoharie in late 1830 per his own handwriting on his enlistment papers. Married Jane Coats on Nov. 9, 1853 in Independence, New York. Enlisted in Wisconsin 16 infantry, Co. B in Feb. 1864. Died of typhoid in Brown General Hospital, Louisville, 7/24/1865. I have his military files [NARA & Wisc], pension file, searched the Roll of Honor and everthing I can think of. Cannot verify his parents or locate burial site. I believe his father and mother were Samuel and Catherine, looking for proof.
