9/5/62 at age 33. There is only one
page in his file. There is,
however, a pension application in 1893 for the widow of a George
W Maxwell, who is not in the muster roll list.
She seems to be Mary Ann Evans Maxwell.
If these are the right people, then Maxwell is in the
Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Henderson Co, TN, having died on

He mustered out at Nashville “after 8/6/66” which does not compute since the 7th Tennessee disbanded in 1865. McArthur had married Nettie E Butler in 1856. After the war he became the proprietor of a shoe shop and joined the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). He applied for an invalid pension in 1878.

It also says he was at the battle of Trenton on 12/20/62
which does not compute. He returned

MCCASLIN,
W(ILLIAM) H (M C), Co D, has no records except that he
