Other Events:

• Military: Between 4 Aug 1862 and 5 May 1863, , , Ohio, USA; Co A, 27th Ohio Infantry, USA

Notes:

I found a US Army Camp Reed mentioned in a letter but I'm not sure of its exact location nor of the cemetery. It seems that the camp was usually called Jackson and the camp was moved to LaGrange in March of 1863. Supposedly the graves were moved to Corinth National in 1869.
The VA has a listed burial for George W Toply but there is no cemetery listed, just TOPLY, GEORGE W PVT BURIED AT: SECTION D SITE 1229. I guess there is no way to find out if this is our George. There is also a George A Topliff at Leavenworth but there are no dates and he was in the 18th Inf.

George married Elizabeth MCGHEE on 11 Sep 1862 in Prairie du Chien, Crawford, Wisconsin, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of John MCGHEE, Jr and Elizabeth MCKINNIS) was born on 7 Apr 1843 in , Hancock, Ohio, USA; died on 11 Jan 1866 in , Allamakee, Iowa, USA; was buried on 12 Jan 1866 in , Allamakee, Iowa, USA.

Notes:

George was only 2 1/2 when his mother died and he was raised by her parents. He eventually married his cousin, Addie Jane.

I'm guessing that Annice Pearl is actually their [illegitimate?] granddaughter but it's possible that she's a cousin.

George W and Addie's parents' names are included, Annis's parents are unknown and the rest are blank but they are all listed as born in Iowa. George had no siblings so they can't have nieces and nephews from the Topliff side.
