Bartley C. Ware was a member of Company A of the 18th Kentucky Infantry, a unit which formed in early 1862. It spent time guarding railroads in northern and central Kentucky and took part in actions against Confederate General John Hunt Morgan.
This regiment fought at the battle of Richmond (Ky) in late August of 1862 and then spent time in Kentucky and Tennessee.
It participated in the fighting at Chickamauga and served around Chattanooga and Northern Georgia. It was part of the Carolinas campaign of Union General William T. Sherman and was at the battle of Bentonville and
eventually participated in the Grand Review of the U.S. Army in Washington D.C, before mustering out in July 1865.
No other details of Mr. Ware's life have come to light yet.
Rest in peace, soldier
