Ninth New Jersey Infantry Regiment
From My Research Wiki
The Ninth New Jersey Infantry Regiment, also called the 9th New Jersey Volunteers and later the 9th New Jersey Veteran Volunteers, was a military unit of the American Civil War raised in the fall of 1861. The recruiting broadsides (posters) specifically targeted sharpshooters, men who were very good with a rifled musket. They were also given the nickname the "Jersey Muskrats".
John O. Huff (1837-1887) mustered into Company E as a private on September 20, 1861 at Camp Olden near Trenton.
