27th Iowa Volunteer Infantry

Rosters

These are notes for the men of Company B, 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).

Alcorn, John - According to the Roster, John would have been born in 1838 in Pennsylvania. In 1850 there is a John Alcorn listed with the family of George and Matilda Alcorn in Kiskiminetas, Armstrong, Pennsylvania. Also in this family is Isaac Alcorn, also of Company B of the 27th Iowa. From 1870 forward, the only John Alcorn I can find that matches that information (in the Roster) was in Stillwater, Washington County. Minnesota from 1870 through 1905. (According to the Minnesota Death Records he died April 12, 1905 in Washington County, Minnesota) I honestly do not know if I have found information on the correct John Alcorn or not. But it would be a place to at least check out, if you are a descendant.

Anderson, Magnus - In 1890 he was on the Veterans Census in Mayville, Trail County, North Dakota. The census showed that he enlisted in Co. B 27th Iowa on Oct. 13, 1864.

There was also an Albert Anderson (age 36) in the same household listed as a "hired man". While Ole did have a son named Albert, there should be a much great difference in age between him and Andrew. So I'm not sure if this is his son or not.

From Jerry Scott, great grandson: "His correct name was William G. Coppernoll. The spelling in the document (US Gravesites) you sent me is also misspelled as Coppernall rather than Coppernoll. It looks like his name had various spellings but the true one is as I have documented it. As for his participation in Hubbard, Minn. I have no idea except to say he was mustered out on Aug 8, 1865 according to his discharge papers I have and he boarded the Illinois Central RR somewhere to start his journey back to Clinton, Iowa. As he entered the service in 1862, I assume he went through all the campaigns up to his time of discharge. When he returned to Clinton he married Sarah McNamar, daughter of Irish immigrants, according to the family Bible he began when he got married, and the family eventually settled in Arkansas where my mother was born (his grand daughter). Cpl Coppernoll was born in New York state and was 20 years old when the war ended. He received his promotion to corporal after the battle of Abbeyville, Miss. in August of 1864. From the US Gravesite information it appears that he was 53 when he died."

Dobbs, Stephen - I (ejj) found this query which seems to fit the only Stephen Dobbs (born 1831) that I can find. This one may or may not be the correct Stephen: Query on Dobbs GenForum: "Stephen Dobbs the son of William and Mary (Polly) Helm Dobbs married Barbary (Barbara) McMillin 9-26-1857. She was the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth McMillin. Stephen and Barbara were the parents of a son John Franklin Dobbs born in Richland County, Wisconsin 11-26-1858. John married Emma Dickwisch 2-12-1883, they were the parents of Willard, Guy and Mabel. John Franklin died 4-2-1910 in Hancock County, IL. I believe Stephen Dobbs and Barbara were divorced because I found him on the 1870 census living with his brothers William and Lewis in Richland County, Wisconsin. Their sister Susan who married Michael McMillin was living next door to them. Barbara McMillin Dobbs married William Harrison 4-15-1867 she was his second wife. They lived in Hancock County, Illinois. This doesn't answer your question about the names of William and Mary's parents but it may give you some other leads."

Hector, (Hactor) Peter - According to the "Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans", Peter Hector Private Co. B., 27th Iowa, died April 15, 1882 and is buried in Indian Lake Cemetery, Worthington, Nobles County, Minnesota. I strongly suspect that Peter is a brother to Andrew above. In researching Andrew I found that his parents were Peter Hactor Peterson and Anna Lena Anderson. Peter and Anna were on the 1880 census in Indian Lakes, Nobles County, Minnesota. The father (Peter) died in Nov. 26, 1886 in Indian Lakes, Minnesota. Anna died in January 31, 1899 in Indian Lakes, Minnesota I also note that in this family is a Sven Peterson that was born Nov. 16, 1846 and died April 15, 1882. Is this Peter??

I requested a photo of Peter's tombstone through Find A Grave. I found that he shares a tombstone with his parents. This is the information on Find a Grave: Peter Hactor (1833-1886)Tombstone shares the names of Anna Hector on the left side and Peter Hector JR. on the right side with Peter Hector on the front side So I am certain that he was the son of Peter Hactor Peterson and Anna Lena Anderson. And a brother to Andrew Hector (above).

In viewing both the 1880 census and the 1900 census, I think Sophia and Cena are the same person. The ages match, as do the state she was born and the states her parents were born in. Also, if you include the child that is buried in Evergreen Cemetery (born after 1880) and Viola, that would be 8 children. So I am pretty sure I have the correct family in 1880.
