Rev. David H. COYNER

  General Notes:

Francis applied and received a Pension for David's service as chaplain of the 88th Reg. OVI at Camp Chase Ohio. Delaware County, Ohio Service records show Martin Luther, Harness, William S., and James B. all served in the Civil War. I am still working on this family. The parsonage and Church still remain in Kilbourne. The family and the descendents are buried at Green Mound Cemetery in Kilbourne.

Some of the information below is not correct but I'll leave it anyway.

The book "A Historical Sketch of Michael Keinadt and Margaret Diller, his Wife" states the following on:

He was Post Chaplain in Camp Chase, 4 miles West of Columbus, Ohio, during the late war, and he, with four of his sons, put in 11 years service for the United States-two of his .sons losing their lives for the Union.
