]]>G. H. Playford enlisted 17 April 1861 in Company A of the 16th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Most of the Company’s recruits hailed from Zanesville, also in Muskingum County.
B. M. O’Boylan was a member of the clergy, a priest at St. Francis DeSales Church in Newark, Ohio. Newark is in Licking County, which adjoins Muskingum.
There were many Ohioans with the name “David Davis” who served during the War. My best guess is that the third guy on the statue was from Licking County and fought with Company D of the 76th OVI. After the war, Davis resided in Conesville, OH, a town in Coshocton County on the Musjingum River.

Looking forward to your next posting Eric.

]]>A follow up — Geoff Elliott on the Abraham Lincoln Blog reported that some or all of the Baughman Park statues were auctioned off. http://abrahamlincolnblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/buy-your-own-statue-of-lincoln.html
There’s part of the puzzle. The vandalized Sherman statue from Baughman was sold and moved. The winning bid for the Sherman statue was $2.600. http://tinyurl.com/32k5gvb
There are lots of articles on line about the statues in that park before they were sold off. Sounds like it was a pretty amazing place with all those monuments out in the woods. I haven’t found anything yet about who purchased the Sherman one.

]]>Yep, and you stole my thunder. Mike Peters figured this out last night, and I intend to post about it over the weekend.

]]>This photo of the Sherman statue “at Baughman Park, near State Route 586,
just North of State Route 16 in Muskingum County, Ohio,” appears to be the same one (or same design) as your Pinkerington statue.
The Ohio Geology newsletter reports that in 1968, the Sherman and Roosevelt statues at Baughman Park were vandalized, and that Sherman’s head and hand were never recovered.

Seems like too much of a coincidence. Could the Baughman Park statue have been moved to Pinkerington?
