Theron S Winship

He entered service with Company E, 29th Ohio Infantry as First Lieutenant on 16 September 1861. He was then 22 years of age. His commanding officer, Colonel Buckley, wrote the Governor on October 16, 1861:

"Letter stating that [Theron S.] Winship was the person he recommended as Quartermaster for the 29th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that Winship declined to act as such for the reason that he was elected 1st Lieutenant of one of the companies in the 29th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and when the men learned that he was about to leave them, they "remonstrated", that to reconcile the men, Winship thought it best to remain with the company, and that he would approve of the same; and recommending the appointment of Oscar F. Gibbs as Quartermaster for the 29th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. "
