MaryAnn,

Amos is a brother of my George Frederick MIKSCH. He was 45 at the start of
the Civil War, which is not impossible but makes me wonder if there is
another Amos that was Charlie's friend. All that I have for my Amos are the
dates included in the chart below (he is third from the bottom), and that in
1850, Amos and his family were enumerated in Clay Township of Tuscarawas
County. He was 34, occupied as a chair maker. With him were Sarah, 28,
Rufus, 5, Tilghman, 3, Mary E., 1, Mary I. [?] FLESHMAN, 12, Samuel KELLER
(probably Sarah/Salome's brother), 21, and Elizabeth MIKSCH, 70. Samuel's
occupation is also given as chair maker. (By the way, this does not align
with John Bing's information; I don't know why.) I don't have any FENNERs
or WALTERs in my database to help you make a connection. My
great-grandmother's married name was also Anna Miksch (nee GUTENSOHN, she is
about half-way down the following chart), but John Bing's theory is more
likely, since Anna Viola MIKSCH SHAW was doing genealogy research. If you
are really interested, I would suggest that you try to find Amos' service
record or a roster of Ohio soldiers -- that at least would give you an age.
