Captain Henry Dillon

Capt. Henry Dillon 1828-1882

Henry Dillon was the first Captain of the 6th Wisconsin Battery 1861-1864. He was 33 years old when he helped start the Battery in 1861. Henry had served in the Mexican War as a member of Braxton Bragg's Battery serving under officers George H. Thomas, T. W. Sherman and John F. Reynolds. A large portion of men came from Lone Rock, Spring Green and Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. Although, there were many men from other small communities in the Sauk, Richland and Iowa Counties and counties beyond. Henry's occupation was a Taylor.  His Taylor Shop in Richland City (city now washed away from Wisconsin River banks) was used for recruitment.  Please find ....Find Soldiers Grave... on the above link and read more about Henry Dillon.
