| These are notes for the men of Company
A,
27th Iowa. I use various sources. I start with
the Pension Records Index to see if I can determine the
spouse's name. Then I check
Family Trees on Ancestry.com and Census records . If I can determine
what county/state he was in, I check the USGENWEB site
for that particular county. I also use a variety of
Gravestone websites including Find A Grave and
Iowa Gravestones Photo Project . One of the last
things I do is a Google search of the internet.
Note: I have no personal
knowledge of any of the soldiers and nothing has been
verified. I have relied solely on information that
I found on line, so errors can be expected (but are not
intentional).. |

Henry Hill came to Iowa in 1876, bought land in Bath

Juliana Decker, of Erie Co., N. Y., who died ten months

sold out, removed to Allamakee Co., Iowa, and bought
land and settled in Jefferson township. In August, 1862,

battles of the Red River expedition, Fort De Russey,

Iowa. Source: Iowa Civil War Soldier burial
Records. (Note: the date of birth is not my typo, but it
appears to be incorrect. The information in the
biography above agrees with the the Roster and other census
information. 1846 is just way off.)
Find a Grave has this information:
Corp. Henry Hill, Co. A, 27th Ia. Inf., no dates, buried in
Elmwood Saint Joseph Cemetery, Mason City, Cerro Gordo
County, Iowa.
(I had initially found information
on Henry Hill in Powershiek County (from two different
sources). I am now convinced that information is
incorrect. The 1915 Iowa State Census proves that Henry Hill
buried in Cerro Gordo is the one that was in the 27th Iowa.
(the other Henry Hill died in 1914, before the 1915 census
-- I believe they confused Henry Hill in the 24th Iowa with
Henry Hill in the 27th)
