The only record I have on John, from my grandfather's work on our ancestry is this:
Recruited at Pittsburgh, Co E, 63rd Regiment.Mustered July 18, 1863.Captured & died in Andersonville prison March 31, 1864.Grave #266.
It is unknown as to if it was Elias's (Eli) brother or not.My grandfather could not find any records on Eli's brothers & sisters. Eli was born in 1822 and did have a brother named John...it's remotely possible.
There are Kunselmans in Venango, Forrest, Crawford, Warren, Armstrong and Clarion Counties (as of 1955) that may have ties to John.
