Lemuel Crosby, Jr. was born in Nova Scotia and removed with his parents, first to Elgin County Ontario, and then to Minnesota. As a young man he enlisted in the Union Army and fought in the American Civil War. He settled in Missouri, and never returned to live in Minnesota. Ref: letter of Miss Jessie M. Crosby to Mr. Long. PANS, Nova Scotia. I found in “Minnesota in the Civil and Indian Wars, 1861 -1865” St. Paul Pioneer Press Company, 1890, Page 482, a Private Lemuel Crosby, Company G, 10th Minnesota Mounted Infantry. Roster states he was 18 years of age when mustered in, September 15, 1862. The roster further states he was mustered out August 19, 1865 with the Regiment at Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The following is a brief synopsis of the Regiment’s history. A part of Company G of LeSueur, known as the “Le Sueur Tigers ” took part in the defense of New Elm during the battle with the Sioux Indians. The winter of 1862-63 the regiment spent its time doing guard duty and building stockades along the frontier. In February 1863 Company G was among those companies that acted as guard units during the execution of the Indians at Mankato, Minnesota. In the spring of 1863 the Regiment was one of many that participated in the campaign into the Dakota Territory. At the completion of the campaign the Regiment returned to Fort Snelling where it remained until October 23, 1863, when it was ordered to St. Louis, Missouri where it performed garrison and provost duty. On April 22, 1864 the Regiment was ordered to Columbus, Kentucky where they remained until ordered to Memphis, Tennessee on the 19th of June. During their stay in Memphis the regiment participated in several important expeditions, chief of which was the attacking of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, then in Mississippi and on his way to cut Sherman's line of communications. The major battle was the Battle of Tupelo, where the 10th was held in reserve. In September the regiment was placed on steamers and headed for St. Louis and then to Jefferson City where it arrived on October 18th. From there they pursued General Price through Sedalia, Lexington and Independence, Missouri. After the Price pursuit the Regiment proceeded directly to Nashville, Tennessee, after stopping at Benton Barracks, St. Louis for several days to refit. They arrived at Nashville on November 30th and participated in the Battle of Nashville on the 15th and 16th of December 1864. The regiment was then sent to Eastport, Mississippi, arriving on January 7, 1865. After a two week rest they were transported across Mobile Bay where they took part in the capture of Spanish Fort, one of the defensive works of Mobile about 9 miles south of the city. In July 1865, after the end of the war, the regiment was marched to Vicksburg and took steamers to St. Louis. After a three day wait they boarded steamers to St. Paul, where they arrived on August 7, 1865. From there they went to Fort Snelling where the muster rolls were made and the unit mustered out.

Crosby [c. 1932] tells that Lemuel Crosby and Selina Jane Park Crosby, first removed to Elgin County Ontario,[1846 and then [Hazel Parks notes state that they removed to Minnesota ten years later, 1856. But if Selina Jane's death date is correct then they must have removed prior to 1850.]] to Minnesota. Selina Jane died soon after their arrival in Minnesota. Mar 3, 1850.
