• Notes

  My ancestor Johann (Stephen) Thomey who served in the US civil war served in the 68 New York infantry (1st brigade). He was at Gettysburg. You asked when we spoke who he served under. The 68 infantry was under Colonel Gotthiff Von Bourg d 'lvernois. The First brigade was under Colonel Leopold Von Gilsa, The 68th NY infantry was based out of NYC (lower east side) from German decent people. Stephen Thomey died in 1887 at NYC. He is buried with wife Anna at Lutheran Cemetery in Middle Village NY. He is listed on his service record as a cook. I do not know how much action he participated in since at Gettysburg he was 40 years old. He filed for service pension in 1886 which he did not receive. His wife Anna hired an pension attorney in which she won appeal in 1890. She received $ 8.00 a month till she died in 1898.
