color-bearers, 32nd Ohio

Seeking the names of color-bearer's of the 32nd Ohio Infantry. According to a letter from Samuel V. Fulkerson, 37th Virginia Infantry, concerning the Battle of McDowell, May 8, 1862, he had the wounded color-bearer of the 32nd Ohio removed from the battlefield, and noted that he thinks he died the next day. He also mentions the colors of the regiment being shot to tatters and his men gathered them up as trophies.

None of the US reports mention the loss of any colors at McDowell.

Your help appreciated.
