ROSTER
FARRAGUT GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC POST #6
SAVANNAH, TN,
1883-1890
Five of the nine charter members of this post were veterans of the western navy, which most likely explains the name choice. An east Tennessean by birth, Admiral Farragut made a name for himself in the western theater of the Civil War. Savannah is on the Tennessee River, a waterway that saw a number of naval encounters.
General Orders generally (but not always) means the person was discharged with the regiment at the end of the war.
Expiration of Term generally means that they served their one or three year enlistment.
The numbers at the end of each entry is the number of the veteran on the GAR list.
The information in [ ] was added by me. It is not in the GAR records. Corrections would be appreciated.
