When Bogardus had about 90 volunteers he led the Washington/Deer Creek/Morton volunteers into Peoria where they went into camp at Camp Lyon, near present day Glen Oak Park. On August 27, 1862, Bogardus and 87 of his volunteers were mustered into service as Co. G of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Bogardus was elected Captain of Co. G by the men of the Washington/Deer Creek/Morton company.
On September 7, 1862, the men of the 86th Illinois marched out the gates of Camp Lyon, through the streets of Peoria, with much fanfare, and boarded a train bound for Camp Joe Holt, Jeffersonville, Indiana. Three weeks later, the men of the 86th were in the field in Kentucky as part of Col. Daniel McCook's Brigade, in pursuit of Confederate troops in Kentucky. On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of McCook's Brigade were engaged with those troops in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the 86th Illinois suffering their first casualties. There would be many more to come.
During the next two years, __________ __________ __________ served faithfully in Co. G as the men of the 86th served in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina. During this time, __________ was witness to and a participant in numerous battles and skirmishes, some of the bloodiest fighting in the Western Theatre of the war, including the Battles of Chicakamauga, Georgia; Resaca, Georgia; Rome, Georgia, Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia; Peach Tree Creek, Georgia; Jonesboro, Georgia, Averasboro, North Carolina and Bentonville, North Carolina to name a few and marched with Sherman to the Sea.
A few weeks after the defeat and surrender of Confederate General Johnston's Army to that of General Sherman, the war came to a close. The men of McCook's Brigade marched on to Washington City (now D.C.) where they participated in the Grand Review and where they were mustered out of the service on June 6, 1865. Shortly after that the men of the 86th Illinois were on their way home.
On August 15, 1862, Nathaniel volunteered for service in a company which was being raised in Washington. This company would be assigned as Co. G of the 86th Illinois. Nathaniel was mustered into service with the rest of the men of the 86th on August 27, 1862 at Camp Lyon in Peoria, Illinois. Nathaniel would serve faithfully for nearly three years and be a participant in many of the great battles of the Western Theatre. Nathaniel was mustered out of the service on June 6, 1865 in Washington, D.C. and he returned to his home in Washington, Illinois.
Nathaniel is not believed to have remained in Tazewell County much longer though. He resided in Missouri for some time and it was there in Macon, Missouri, that he was married to Caroline Wyatt on July 3, 1874.

After Caroline's death, Nathaniel was married to Laura D. Bowdell (or Bowdler) in 1894 in Lima, Ohio, but after about a year of marriage she was granted a divorce in 1895. Nathaniel may have moved to Tipton, Indiana not long after this and he was married for a 3rd time to Hattie McCoy on July 27, 1896 in Tipton, Indiana.
The last few years of his life are believed to have been spent in Tipton, Indiana, where he died on January 10, 1901. When he died, he was survived by his third wife and three children, one of whom was Roy Robinson, who was employed as a Conductor on the Lima Street Railway Lines.
Nathaniel's earthly remains where put almost immediately on a East bound L, E. & W train for one last ride back to Lima. There, they were met by many "friends of the berieved family and members of the local lodge of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, of which the deceased was a member. The remains were carried directly to the Woodlawn Cemetery in Lima, Ohio, where interment was made."
The January 11, 1901 edition of the INDIANAPOLIS NEWS newspaper, of Indianapolis, Indiana carried the following notice;
"Tipton, Ind., Jan. 11, - Nate Robinson, seventy years old, in the service of the Lake, Erie & Western railroad company as Engineer for twenty-three years, died today. During the civil war he served in Co. F (Actually G), Eighty-sixth, Illinois."
