My name is Vicki Stephens and I am with the Henrico County (Virginia) Historical Society. In recognition of the Medal of Honor recipients who fought in the U.S.C.T. at the Batttle of Chaffin's Farm, there is being erected an historical marker at the site. We are looking for descendents of these individuals who might be interested in participating in the ceremony.
If you are interested, or know of any descendents who might also be interested, please let me know.
