on her ancestor?

Thanks, Anne

Ann, My great-grandfather, Amos Smith of Co "A" 7th Maryland Volunteer 
Infantry, was wounded at Gravelly Run on April 1, 1865 during the Baattle of 
Five Forks,  he died on April 5, 1865 and is buried at City Pont National 
Cemetery, Hopewell, VA.  Amos was born in Belmont Co., Ohio on 21 Jan 1829. 
I have no record of his parents or siblings, do you possibly know anywhere I 
might go to find out anything about him.  I remember my parents throwing 
away all of his letters when I was a child, so I never had a chance to read 
them.
