Lance, Finas Euen

submitted by Michael Lester Lance

My 2nd great grandfather was Finas Euen Lance. He went by his middle name but the military could never spell it correctly. I have his Civil War papers and his name is incorrectly spelled as; Uen, Ewing, and Euin Lance (never correctly as Euen Lance). You have him listed as Uren Lance. He served with the 12th Reg, Co. F Indiana infantry.
