Hello,
I'm starting this thread as a place where we can list our ancestors who were in the 2nd Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
My ancestor was Jesse M. Lee, 2nd Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry. His record from N.A.R.A. shows he enlisted as a Private on 31 August 1861 at the age of 44; died of disease on 22 December 1863 in Camp Dennison, Ohio. Jesse was buried at Woodhill Cemetery in Franklin, Warren County Ohio.
Jesse M. Lee was married to Catharine Floyd of Warren County (my ggg grandparents.) One of their children was Prudence Lee, who married Maximo Emley of Franklin, Warren County, Ohio (my great-great grandparents.) Their child was Wilbur John Emley, my great-grandfather who was born in Franklin OH and eventually worked for the Pullman Company in Jersey City NJ and finally settled in Long Branch NJ. I never knew about Jesse Lee until I began doing genealogy. By then, my father, grandmother, etc. had died so there was nobody to tell me the family story. I don't have any photos of Jesse but a cousin kindly sent me a photo of his grave headstone which reads, "J.M. Lee Coo. B, 2nd Ohio Inf."
