Captain George Sroufe; New Info(?)
I was cleaning out a box from a recent move, and discovered some stuff I had scraped up on George W. Sroufe, of Cambridge IL, back when I thought he was a direct ancestor.I have his civil war pension record, which is available from NARA, but I also have a copy of a ledger entry, provided by the state of Illinois, of part of the enlistment roster of George's company.
Under age, it has 26 years, as of 1862, and under nativity, it has PERRY, PUTNAM, OHIO, which differs from some of the stories that say he was from the Yellow Springs area, and it may help cast light on his parentage.There are some who think he might have been Christopher Sroufe's son, and the stuff about him parentage in Col. Dave's book is just conjecture.
