Hayes was not present at Antietam on September 17th 1862--he had been wounded September 14th at the battle of South Mountain and was recuperating at a friends home in Middletown, Md. He was in Middletown from Sept. 15th to October 5th at which point he returned to Ohio to recuperate with family until Nov. 29th
William McKinley was at Antietam but he was a commissary Sergeant, not a Pvt.
