Company: H

Notes:
Supposedly wounded and captured at the Battle of Chancellorsville, VA on 5/3/1863, although his military service record does not mention this. His son and namesake, a Union Maryland soldier, was supposedly killed in this battle, although his service record contains conflicting information. One document in the son's record, written in the 1890s, indicates that the final Army determination on the son's fate was "missing in action, May 1-3, 1863." (In Roster of Civil War Soldiers from Washington County, Maryland, the armies in which father and son fought are mistakenly switched.)
