George
Dow was apparently mustered into service on 16 Apr 1861 as a 2nd
Lieutenant in Company E 40th New York Volunteer Infantry. He also served
with Company B 40th NYVI and Company D 62nd Massachusetts Infantry. It
is unclear with which unit he was serving but he suffered a gun shot
wound in the right hand and left thigh at the battle of
Chancellorsville. He was returned to duty and mustered out
26 May 1865. He married Henrietta M Titcomb who died 7 Mar 1877.
Apparently suffering from consumption and unable to care for himself he
was admitted to the home for disabled soldiers in Togus, Maine on 28 Jun
1877 where he died.
CPT George Carr Dow (b. 11 May 1834 - d.

When
Lyman A. Hamblet was born on May 2, 1836, his father, Ozni, was 25 and
his mother, Thirza, was 20. He married Irene A. Fletcher on March 25,
1861, in Londonderry, New Hampshire. They had two children during their
marriage. He died on June 23, 1864, in Dinwiddie, Virginia, at the age
of 28, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery section 13, site

Was he the 5540th burial? Lyman is my 5th cousin 5 times removed. He
has living descendants in New Hampshire.
