Looking for parents of James Calvin McCown, who moved to CA after the civil war. Here's what I know:
His civil war enlistment lists his birth as 14 Mar 1838 in Carroll Co., OH, and living in Pittsburgh, PA at the time of his enlistment. (McCoun, James - Age, 26 Years. Enlisted, February 10, 1864, at New York; mustered in as private, Co. H, February 10, 1864 to serve three years; appointed corporal, date not stated; transferred to Co. C, July 21, 1865; mustered out with company, September 27, 1865, at Memphis, Tenn.; also borne as McCowan. [Declaration for Pension states Co. H, not C])
1900 Census lists his parents as being from PA. He married Electa Ann Mcclure in 1867 in IA (at her father's house) - their children's names: William Evans, Nathaniel T., Mary Edna, James C., and Edwin L.
Family story was that he had sisters only, no brothers.
Any help greatly appreciated.
