John was my Great-Granduncle.
He was the second of eight children born to Michael Morrett, Sr. and Elizabeth EYLER Morrett.
His wife was Abigail A. "Abbie" Scott who he married on 23 Jan 1868.
Their children together were:
Frank Edward "Francis" Morrett
Alice May Morrett
Theresa Ellen Morrett
Nellie G. Morrett
Myrtle Clara Morrett Steele
John served in the Civil War in the 40th Indiana Infantry, Company B.
He fought at Shiloh or Pittsburgh landing, Perryville and Murfreesboro. Only about six of the soldiers in Co. B were not killed or wounded. Soon after this he hurt his ankle so was placed in the Invalid Corps and transferred to the Veteran Corps. Co. G, and was sent to Fort Willard, Virginia to do duty at the camp and military prison. Here he lost his hearing from the effects of quinine and the noise of the siege guns used for practice, so he was refused when he applied for re-enlistment in November, 1864.
