The man is Jeremiah Dike, whom it is recorded, was born in Williams County, OH. Nothing to date has been found in our county records to verify this. Another mystery exists in that he is NOT found yet in any census before 1850. If you have any info on this man, email me and I'll pass it along to a researcher who would like to know more about his ancestry.
Here's what we know so far:

Regimental History
ILLINOIS
17TH CAVALRY
Seventeenth Cavalry.-Col., John
L. Beveridge; Lieut.-
Cols., Dennis J. Hynes, Hiram
Hillard; Majs., Hiram Hillard,
Lucius C. Matlack, Philip E.
Fisher, Jesse D. Butts, Charles
Parker. This regiment was
organized under special authority
from the war department, issued
Sept. 11, 1863, to Hon. John
F. Farnsworth. The rendezvous was
established at St. Charles,
Kane county, and eight companies
were mustered in on Jan. 22,
1864, for three years. Four other
companies were mustered in
and the organization of the
regiment completed Feb. 12, 1864.
By the close of the following
April, 650 horses had been
brought in by the men under
instruction from the cavalry
bureau and sold to the
government. On May 3, the regiment
moved under orders from the
general-in-chief to report to
Maj.-Gen. Rosecrans, commanding
the Department of Missouri, at
St. Louis. For a period of 4
months the three battalions of
the regiment were separate and
remote from each other, their
duties being mainly escort and
provost guard duty. Among the
fights engaged in by the 2nd
battalion may be named one near
Allen on the North Missouri
railroad in July, one near the
Porsche hills, and a third near
Rocheport. The service of the
regiment was wholly within the
Department of the Missouri, and
while it did not experience any
severe engagements, it
performed hard and valuable
services in frequent skirmishes
with the enemy, in routing
guerrilla parties, and in long and
weary marches. Its last important
work was accompanying the
commissioners who went to Fort
Smith to treat with the
Indians, at the great council
held in Sept., 1865. It was
mustered out in Nov. and Dec.,
1865, at Leavenworth, Kan.
