I have just learned that my gggf, John H. Woodard (Woodward) was in the 10th Cavalry, Company G and was in the "colored troops" unit.
He was born in Alabama; however he enlisted out of Lyons, MI on Feb. 14, 1865. My gggf lived to be 110-113.
Pleae share with me any letters or other inforamtion that you might have. I have tried to find picture but no luck.
Many thanks for this information.
