The Severance brothers of Russell, NY

Four Severance brothers from Russell, St Lawrence County, NY served in the Civil War.

Two of them survived.

Two – Gersham, age 19 (60th New York Infantry) and William, 26 (23rd Ohio Infantry)  – were killed in Maryland in September 1862.

I would like to hear more about this family. Anyone?
