Hi, Jarrett Grief Lynch is my great-great grandfather through his son Edwin Clifford Lynch, my great grandfather. Edwin's daughter, Mamie Bell Lynch Cain was my grandmother. I would love to know the stories you have about Jarrett Grief Lynch. I am working on family history also but don't know about him. I did not know about his service in the Civil War. Thanks for sharing!
