SANDERS, William

SAUL, John R.

VanLEER (VanLier) Jeremiah – died of wounds – believe this is the Jeremiah Vanlere age 16 in the 1860 census born in Ohio (VanBuren Township 1860).  It may also be the Jeremiah Vanleer who died 7 July 1864 and is buried in Oak Grove, Covington.  Although the memorial on FindAGrave has born 11 Nov 1855 you can’t really see the stone and it has a flag on the stone so think this is him and he’s 18 years vs. 8 years old.  Love to know yes or no but it doesn’t make sense for an 8-year-old to have a flag on his stone.  -
