 Henry served in the civil war.  he was about 56 years old.  His son Zacariah who was 23 years old served in the civil war at the same time as published below. Many fathers, sons and brothers fought in this war.  It seemed to spare no one. We have many ancesters that serve on both sides.    I will try to compile a list amd post both Union and Confederate.   I recall that Christian Kegley served with the Confederate Army.   I have posted some history of Christian but not his Civil War record.
The American Civil War was one of the deadliest wars in American History. As many as 620,000 individuals lost their lives during the Civil War. However, fewer Americans died in the war than were killed in all the major wars since then.

Confederate deaths were about 260,000 of which 93,000 were killed in combat, while Union deaths were 360,000 of which 110,000 deaths were in combat. Disease was the major cause of death in the civil war. Out of 620,000 deaths, over 400,000 were from diseases.

In total deaths the American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history (although in combat related deaths, World War II remains the deadliest conflict with 292,000 combat deaths)
