This is the state archives. I'll do some looking around. Also might want to do research in their home county just incase.

I need some help in searching the state archives...I'm not exactly sure where to go on the website to search for these people...would appreciate any help!

Beverly, I found one relatives death record at the state archives for his home state not the state he died. Might try that,could be worth a shot.
Like I said might find someone with footnote.com and have them research them both.

Jayne...thanks so much for looking for these men and for the info that you sent...I know that Richard enlisted with his brother Isaac (I have his service record) and thought that because these brothers were together maybe arrangements could have been made to send Richard's body home...I have had no luck finding him in any of the cemeteries where they lived...I will continue to look...thanks so much!

New to the scene, looking forward to getting involved. My great-grandfather, Simon Gavin, was with the 15th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry Regiment out of New Haven, CT. He was wounded and captured at the Battle of Wyse Forks, NC in March 1864.

Beverly... I checked with a friend of mine who is very involved with Illinois Civil War Soldier research in hopes that in his massive collection he might have something about the Colemans.

This is what he sent me:

John Coleman
Residence Greenville IL;
Enlisted on 9/15/1861 as a Private.
On 9/20/1861 he mustered into "C" Co. IL 26th Infantry
He died of disease on 12/7/1861 at Hannibal, MO

I have found no indication of a military hospital at Hannibal, MO so he may well have been at the home of a friend or relative when he died or also he may have been in an already existing medical facility. If so, he most likely would have been buried in the local cemetery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Richard B. Coleman
Residence Greenville IL;
Enlisted on 6/25/1861 as a Private.
On 6/25/1861 he mustered into "D" Co. IL 22nd Infantry
He died on 9/27/1861 at Cairo, IL

Having died at Cairo, he was probably buried at the Mound City Cemetery which is now a National Cemetery. HOWEVER - since he died before it was made a National Cemetery it is possible that he could have been buried in the local cemetery at Cairo. There is no listing of a Richard Coleman on their register. They may have to go to their individual pension records for both of them at the National Archives. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Beverly,where have you looked? Do you have their service records from NARA?
This would usually give a great deal of info on them.

Thank you so much for the information, Jayne. It is the same as the information I had. Sometimes you can get different information from different sites. You are an angel for all your help with other people..
