I did confirm by contacting the NYS Archives for a copy of his service record ($3.00) that James Hitchcock was wounded at Malvern Hill on July 1, 1862 and was "absent" at Convalescent Camp from October to December 31 of that year. He was promoted to Quartermaster Sergeant in January of 1863. <br />What was new to me was his occupation, listed as shoemaker at the time of his enlistment in Seneca Falls, NY in 1861. He was 5' 6" tall, with a light complexion, brown hair and gray eyes. <br />I sent for his brother Fred's service record, and he was 5' 6" tall, dark-completed with brown hair and gray eyes. He enlisted as a substitute for John H. Osborne of Auburn, NY. Always nice to find a new tid bit!Sandie Stoker Gillilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676076901162099270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001555715537490916.post-49993378969500011222011-04-24T16:54:50.920-04:002011-04-24T16:54:50.920-04:00Enjoyed reading your blog on facebook.
