According to the offical roster of Ohio Civil War Troops, Sgt Ebeneser Lemasters enlisted at Canal Dover Ohio on 19 Sep 1861 at age 23 as a Corporal. He was promoted to Sergeant 1 Jan 1863 and died on 4 June 1864 of wounds received on 15 May 1864 at the Battle of Resaca Georgia.
My research indicates that Ebeneser was probably the son of John & Mercy Johnson Lemasters. Five other Lemasters served in the same company:
Pvt Isaac Lemasters, died 31 May 1862 at Nashville Tennessee.
