1850 Census: Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois:  Jacob Cram (age 45, farmer, born NY), Armina Cram (age 47, born NY), Willis Cram (age 18, born NY), Orrin Cram (age 22, born NY), Susan Cram (age 20, born NY) and Buel Cram (age 12, born NY).  (This one is questionable.  There were many  family trees that include Jacob Cram as the father of William that says he died in 1844 in Rockford, Winnebago County, Ill. - none of them included a mother of William.  I found a several family tree that listed Jacob Cram and Armina Perry as the parents of William Cram that said they both died in Rockford, Illinois  Most of them list 1844 as the year of death.  But one shows Apr. 29, 1867. .  Since this is the 1850 census, this may be a different Jacob Cram, which might mean that the information regarding Armina Perry could also be incorrect.   There is one thing that lends some credibility to this theory:  I researched and found that S. J. Cram listed above as William's brother is Sanborn Cram.  He was in Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois in 1850 (20 years old, born NY),  and living with a family named Alling.  In 1880 he is with his wife and children, including a daughter named Armina.)  I also checked the 1860 Census and found that Jacob and Armena Crane (Cram) are still in Rockford, Winnebago County, Ill.  Almost all family trees lists Jacob's parents as Ebenezer Cram and Catherine Butterfield.  Ebenezer Cram died in 1844, so maybe that is what is causing some of the confusion.  Either a lot  family trees are wrong and he did not die in 1844 OR this is not the right family for William.)

Cram.  But who is he the father of?  Neither appears to be one of the children that I have found on previous census records -- Unless the wife is going by her middle name on this census and they wrote down the wrong state of birth for her).

1920 Census, Orin, Converse County, Wyoming:  Ervin M. Cram (age 61, born Iowa), wife Larind J. Cram (age 53, born Minnesota), son Lynne E. Cram (age 17, born Colorado), daughter Ruth G. Cram (age 15, born Nebraska), son Orlando H. Cram (age 24, born Nebraska), son Harold D. Cram (age 21, born Iowa), son Oscar J. Cram (age 12, born Nebraska), and father William W. Cram (age 88, widowed, born New York).

William W. Cram died March 24, 1923 at Shawnee, Wyoming. (pension records)  There are family trees that report that he is buried at Sibley, Osceola County, Iowa.  I could not determine for sure where he is buried.

1885 List of Ex-Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Living in Iowa, 27th Iowa:  W. H. Crouch, Private, Co. A, Post Office, Waukon.

There is a discrepancy in his date of death.

Per Find a Grave (and the year engraved on his stone) William H. Crouch died Dec. 17, 1900 and is buried in Oakland Cemetery, Lot 17, Sac City, Sac County, Iowa. 

However, Headstones Provided for Union Civil War Veterans (1879-1903), Iowa Cemetery Records and online family trees say he died Dec. 17, 1899. 

His widow Hattie B. Crouch filed for pension March 17, 1900. 

1900 Census, Sac City, Sac County, Iowa:  servant Hattie Crouch (born May 1872, age 28, widowed, 1 child born, 1 still living, born Michigan).  She was living in the household of John and Adie Beimer.

Given that she filed for a pension in March 1900 AND was was widow on the 1900 census, I feel fairly certain his correct date of death is Dec. 17, 1899. 

They had one child: Raymond William Crouch, born Nov. 13, 1890 in Auburn, Sac County, Iowa. (1900 census say Nov. 1892). His U.S World Ward II Draft Registration card says Nov. 13, 1889).

Granger, Jedidiah Wilder Biography and photos Submitted by Gerald W. von Kamrath and Sandra Holman Goldstein. 
Additional information on their children and relatives can be found here:  Census work was done by Elaine Johnson.

Jedidiah Wilder Granger was the son of Lyman Granger, born on 20 August 1792, at Phelps in Ontario, New York and died on 22 January 1861, at Columbus in St. Clair County, Michigan.  Achsah Wells, born on 17 March 1797, at Cambridge, Massachusetts and died on 14 December 1879, at Columbus in St. Clair County, Michigan.

Jedidiah Wilder Granger, born on 25 October 1818, at Sodus in Wayne County, New York and died in 1906, at Webster in Day County, South Dakota.  He was named for his uncle Jedediah Wilder who was married to Achsah (née Wells) Granger’s sister, Prudence Wells.  While records usually show Jedidiah Wilder Granger’s first name spelt as “Jedediah,” his signature is consistently spelt as “Jedidiah.”  Jedidiah grew up on his father’s farm at Sodus, New York until the family moved to Columbus, Michigan in 1835.  Jedidiah was a farmer, and part-time surveyor and civil engineer initially purchasing 40 acres in St. Clair County, Michigan on 21 August 1837.

Jedidiah met and later married on 2 February 1840, at Columbus, Michigan Mary Baker, born in 1820, near Catskill in Greene County, New York, and died on 10 June 1882, at Tiffany in Dunn County, Wisconsin.  His father Lyman Granger who was the Justice of the Peace at the time officiated the wedding and the official witnesses were Mary’s father, Charles Baker, and J.W. Octoa Sheav(e)r.  Jedidiah and Mary soon after moved to Michilimackinac County, Michigan where Jedidiah found work in the booming logging industry as a surveyor and lumber estimator.  All, but their youngest child were born in Michigan during this period.   Note:  Mary Baker was long thought to have been the daughter of Henry Baker and Nellie A. Beales, because of an erroneous entry in the James N. Granger’s 1893 Launcelot Granger of Newbury, Massachusetts and Suffield, Connecticut: A Genealogical History.  However research indicates she was the daughter of Charles Baker and his wife Eleanor “Nelly” Abeel instead.

In the autumn of 1855, Jedidiah moved his family to Allamakee County, Iowa where on 15 October, the purchased a farm of 120 acres in Post Township near Waukon in Allamakee County, Iowa.  Jedidiah continued to subsidize his income as a part-time civil engineer and local lawyer. 

During the Summer of 1862, Jedidiah saddled his horse and rode to the then state capitol of Iowa City and then to Des Moines, Iowa.  On 14 August 1862, he petitioned then Governor of Iowa, the honorable Samuel J. Kirkwood, an acquaintance of his, offering his services to the state and seeking a commission in the state militia.  On 3 October of the same year, his offer was accepted and his was enlisted in the Iowa State Militia for a period of three years or the duration of the “southern rebellion.”  At the same time, Mr. James I. Gilbert, considered the finest horseman in Iowa, was created a colonel and charged by Governor Kirkwood to form the new 27th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment at Camp Franklin in Dubuque, Iowa.  Jedediah was appointed a first lieutenant and assigned to A Company of the newly raised 27th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment.  Jedediah would have been more than willing to join the 27^th Iowa Infantry, because at least two other family members were also members of the same unit--his cousin, Charles T. Granger[4], Charles' younger brother Theodore C. Granger, and his future grandnephew-in-law, James D. Maltbie.[5]

In October 1862, the regiment’s first assignment consisted of Colonel James I. Gilbert leading six companies as an escort for a paymaster train from Fort Snelling to Mille Lacs, Minnesota while the rest of the regiment went ahead to Memphis, Tennessee.  In November, Gilbert and his companies arrived in Memphis and linked up with the rest of the 27th Regiment.  A week later the regiment was part of General William T. Sherman’s army and engaged in supporting Union troops against Confederate General Bedford Forrest's troops. During 1863, the regiment saw little combat action if any, being primarily assigned again to railroad protection duty in Tennessee, Arkansas, and northern Alabama guarding various rail lines in against Southern guerrillas.  However in the late summer the regiment participated in the expedition to capture the rest of Arkansas.  On the 24th of August, the regiment moved by river transports to Helena, Arkansas and then marched via Clarendon, on White River to Brownsville, where it joined the Army of Arkansas under Major General Frederick Steele.  But, again the regiment was disappointed to be held back as part of the reserve rather than seeing any action on 10 September 1863, during the capture of Little Rock, capital of Arkansas. 

Caleb S. Richardson’s letter to his brother, Luther, dated 15 March 1863, found on the 27^th Iowa website, Richardson states, “I don't believe I have an enemy except from sinister motives such as Sergt. Tuttle….”  Tuttle was discharged for disability on 26 April 1863, at Jackson, Tennessee and returned to Allamakee County, Iowa that spring.  Apparently several soldiers gave Tuttle money to take home to their families.  Mary Granger writes her husband 1^st Lt. Jedidiah Granger on 6 May 1863, regarding the fact that she is short of funds and looking forward to Sgt. Tuttle’s return home with money from Jedidiah:  

“Charles sent me 10 dollars by Mr. Case, which come very good for me just now I tell you, for I was out of most every thing, but I can get along now for a while.  In hopes that Tuttle will get along soon.  Mr. Isted has just got along, but no Tuttle, well I shall have to wait now until tomorrow night and then look again.  There is some pretty hard talking about Tuttle here, but I do not take much notice of it myself.  I do not know what they mean, but Mrs. Bartlet say that someone from the 27^th has written home something pretty hard about him, but she would not tell me what it was.  She said if my husband should write to me what you knew about Tuttle, it would make my eyes stick out.  And she says it is a going to be found out to.  We heard that he was seeking for a higher office, but Mrs. Haslip [wife of Capt. Amos S. Haslip] says there is no use for him to do that for he will not get any.  She said she told Haslip, if he could send her money, by any other good way, she had rather he would than to send it by Tuttle.  She thinks maybe I will get my money and maybe not, she does not tell me so right out but that is the way she talks.  But I talk right the other way, although I must say I feel a little worried about it.  She has got her’s and several others. Mrs. Green [wife of Lucius L. Green] got a letter from her husband, he says that Tuttle has started for home.

On 28 January 1864, the regiment was combined with the 32nd Iowa Infantry and the 24th Missouri Infantry into a brigade under the command of Colonel William T. Shaw and moved to Vicksburg.  From there they participated in General Sherman’s unsuccessful attempt to entrap Confederate General Forrest and his rebel cavalry between to columns linking up in northern Mississippi in what was called the Merdian Raid.  Then in March 1864, the 27th Iowa Regiment was assigned to participate in the Red River Expedition--an attempt by combined Union naval units and 25,000 army troops under Major General Nathaniel P. Banks to invade northern Texas.  The regiment marched to the Mississippi River and journeyed south by riverboat and barge to the Louisiana staging area.  On 31 March, the regiment took part in the capture of Alexandria, Louisiana.  After securing the town and river port the army units waited for 12 naval gunboats to navigate the nearby rapids before proceeding up the north bank of the Red River to the next objective--the town of Shreveport.

At the river town of Grand Ecore, the army units moved inland separating from the naval units so as to assault Shreveport from the rear while the gunboat attacked it from the river.  During the Union troop's march towards Shreveport, General Bank’s forces were slowed and stung out over a long distance by a huge baggage train.  On 8 April, the Union troops were surprised in an ambush at the small town of Sabine Crossroads by 14,300 Confederate troops under Major General Richard Taylor[6] in what has been called the battle of Mansfield.  Despite several attempts by the General Banks to regroup and counter-attack the rebels, the shock and force of the Southern attack drove the Union troops back, forcing the Northern general to order a retreat.  After a day long series of skirmishes harassing the Union retreat, the Union troops slowed their retreat and began to reorganize with the cover of evening’s darkness.  Union losses were 2,186 men, 20 artillery pieces, and over 200 wagons compared to Confederate casualties of less than 1,000 troops.  That night, the Union commander ordered that a strong rearguard consisting of the 27th Iowa and other regiments were to make a stand at the town of Pleasant Hill stalling the anticipated continued Confederate advance and allowing the bulk of the northern forces time to fall back to defensive positions at Alexandria.

About two hours after sunrise on the morning of 9 April, 12,000 Confederate advancing troops reached Pleasant Hill to be met by 13,000 Union forces.  The 27th Iowa along with the 32nd and 14th Iowa Regiments formed into a brigade under the command of Colonel William T. Shaw were ordered into forward positions blocking the road along a wooded ditch and supported by other units in the nearby woods and knoll. 

Both sides began a day long slugging match of attacks and counter-attacks.  In one of the battle’s early Southern attacks Lieutenant Granger was struck on the bridge of his noses by a piece of buckshot; breaking his nose and covering his lower face, beard, and the front of his uniform with blood.  Around noon, the companies of the 27th Iowa were ordered to counterattack the Confederates, but cooler heads prevailed and instead of charging across open fields the regiment actually maintained their position blocking the road.  During the afternoon the regiment was racked by a volley wounding Lieutenant Granger.  Jedidiah, who had been hit in the right shoulder and right side of the chest--fracturing the right shoulder joint and the bone in his upper right arm in addition to breaking several ribs on his right side and collapsing his right lung--was dragged back to the Union lines and a makeshift field hospital in the Pierce-Payne Methodist College building. 

While resting against a log near the field hospital, he was wounded a final time when he was hit by shrapnel from an exploding Confederate artillery shell.  Two shell fragments struck him.  One in the upper right thigh and the groin. By the end of the day, the rebels fell back about six miles to the safety of a bayou after losing an estimated 1,500 men.  Union losses were listed as 1,506 men.  Following the battle of Pleasant Hill and Taylor's withdraw, the Union rearguard fell back toward Alexandria.  During the torturous eight day journey, Jedidiah was unable to ride his horse because of the painful wounds in his groin region and was therefore dragged behind it on a stretcher made into a travois until he was kicked by the horse dumping him onto the ground.  He was finally carried by an ex-slave named Amos[7] and soldiers from his company to the Red River and loaded onto a boat or barge and taken down river to Alexandria.  Arriving in Alexandria on 17 April, he remained there until evacuated by river barge on 14 May, when General Banks evacuated his troops down river to the Mississippi.  Upon reaching the Mississippi River he was transported aboard a steam boat up river to a military hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.  Because of the sensitive nature of his groin wounds his is simply listed as slightly wounded and excused from duty in the official records.  Afterwards his voice was known to be of a high pitch and he fathered no more children.  He remained in the hospital through the Summer of 1864 recovering from his “slight wounds.”

In September, he managed to convince the doctors that he was fit for duty and rejoined his regiment in Missouri.  That autumn, the 27th Iowa was engaged in campaigns against raiding Confederate forces in southern Missouri.  Jedidiah’s health experienced a setback when a bad chest cold developed into pneumonia and on 4 November, he began coughing up blood.  He was taken aboard the hospital boat SS SHENANGO and transported to St. Louis to a military hospital.  Once again after about a month, he recovered enough to convince the army doctors that he was fit for duty.  He rejoined his regiment in Tennessee in time to lead A Company during the battle of Nashville on 15 and 16 December 1864.  However, the exertion proved too much for his weakened condition and he collapsed exhausted and again began coughing up blood.  Nearly captured by Confederate troops, his men hid him in a safe location with a wounded drummer boy until they were able to retrieve him the following morning.  On 17 December, Jedidiah was sent to a convalescent camp at Eastport, Mississippi.

On 6 January 1865, he was taken by the steamer SS HAVANA (or HABANA) to the military hospital at Mound City, Illinois.  Lieutenant Granger was certified on 28 January, as unfit for further military duty, but somehow managed to avoid a medical discharge, by obtaining a furlough from 6 February until 26 February, and returned home to Allamakee County, Iowa for the first time since July 1862, keeping him out of sight of the military doctors and the attention of the hospital administers.  He returned to his regiment at Fort Blakely, Alabama on 1 April, and managed to remain with the unit until its disbandment at Clinton, Iowa on 8 August 1865.  At which time he was promoted to brevet captain and given an honorable discharge ending his military service. 

During his post Civil War years, Jedidiah was active in the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) veteran’s organization until his death in 1906.  The sword Jedidiah carried on campaign is in the possession of Durward Granger Thomas' grandson, Durward Granger Thomas, III living in Canada.

After the war, and by May of 1867, Jedidiah moved from Iowa north to Wisconsin settling first in New Haven in Dunn County where he established a farm.  In 1870, he was elected to the state assembly representing Dunn County.  In August 1871, he had settled in the village of Tiffany in Dunn County, Wisconsin where he was a farmer with 160 acres and civil engineer and part-time lawyer.  He supervised the building of the brick county courthouse in Menomonie later that same year. 

A portion of the map on page 115 of Snyder & Van Vechten’s 1878 Historical Atlas of Wisconsin showing Tiffany Township in Dunn County.   What makes this map unique is that it shows the location of the short lived community of Granger in the upper left, named for Jedidiah W. Granger and where he served as post master.  Within a few years the village disappeared and later the now abandoned Best Valley School was built in the area.  The community of Tiffany Creek, later shortened to just Tiffany eclipsed Granger and became the township’s primary built up community. 

 In 1880, Jedidiah was hired by the Census Bureau as an enumerator for part of Dunn County and recorded the residence living in Stanton and Tiffany.  His wife, Mary, died in the summer of 1882.  By 1888, Jedidiah is no longer on the land patent maps for Dunn County and had moved west and homesteaded in Webster, South Dakota where he appeared in the 1890 U.S. Census

Jedidiah Wilder Granger died in 1906 and is buried in Webster Cemetery, Webster, Day County, South Dakota.

   Jedidiah and Mary were the parents of:

1. Robert E. Granger, born on 7 May 1843, in Michilimackinac County, Minnesota and died on 28 August 1863, at Bayou Metoe, Arkansas. 

2. Charles Collins Granger, born in 1844, in Michilimackinac County, Minnesota and died in 1881.   (I (ejj) did note during census research, that his wife was living with his parents and was listed as a widow, so I would question the 1881 date).

3. Edmond Granger, born circa 1846, in Mackinac County, Minnesota.  Died after 1861.  He never married.

4. Francis Edward Granger, born on 14 January 1847, at Columbus in St. Clair County, Michigan and died on 6 March 1900, at Roslyn in Day County, South Dakota.

7. Mary E. Granger, born in 1858, in Post Township near Waukon Allamakee County, Iowa.

The initial two pieces of information that I could find on him are conflicting.  The Iowa Civil War Soldier Burial Records say he died May 12, 1879  and is buried in Bethel Cemetery, Johnson County, Iowa.  BUT the pension index record says he filed for a pension on April 21, 1880.  Both identify him as Lucius L. Green of Company A, 27th Iowa.  Further research has convinced me that the Iowa Civil War Burial Record is an error.

Henry Hill, 3 Corp. IA 27 Inf A, born Jan 1, 1846, died  Oct. 30, 1927 in Cerro Gordo County, 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. -- I subsequently learned that the date of death is also incorrect.  Maybe he was confused with another Henry Hill?)

Find a Grave has this information:  Henry Hill,  (born Feb. 9, 1835), died Dec. 24, 1927 and is buried in Elmwood Saint Joseph Cemetery, Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. (Information in the obituary matches the biography and census records above.)

(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)

Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War that showed the following information:   Hill, Henry, - Co A -Hazelwood Cemetery, Grinnell, Poweshiek County, Iowa
(1831 - 1914). 

The Powershiek County Website had this information on the Civil War Veterans F thru K:   Hill, Henry; 24th Iowa; 27th Iowa; C & A; 1831-1914; Grinnell Hazelwood /Soldiers' Records.

Family tree information says he died Dec. 28, 1862 and is buried in Monona City Cemetery, Clayton County, Iowa
(22 Sep 1842  - 28 Dec 1862) age 20, 3 mos and 6 days Ref: Terri Knutson, Family records Family Bible  Note the date of death matches the date of death listed on the Clayton County website where he is identified as being with the 27th: Monona City Cemetery 

However, the roster says he was "discharged for disability Jan. 6, 1863, Cairo, Ill".  So one of those dates has to be incorrect. ejj
