Captain Jeremiah Mosher Sample, my third great grandfather, was mortally wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg. He fought for a Pennsylvania regiment. The kids and I visited Gettysburg a couple of years ago, and saw the spot where he was shot. We also visited the monument for the Pennsylvania soldiers and found his name.
