Does anyone on the list have a George Barringer b. 1831, who enlisted in
Company D., 79th PA Cavalry in the Civil War? He enlisted on Sept. 9, 1861,
at Monongahela, PA, which was two days after my g,grandfather William
Barringer and his brother, John, had enlisted in Co. D, 79th Cavalry.

For the longest time I thought the George Barringer above was my
g,g,grandfather, George Barringer until I got the Military Service Civil War
Record for this George and saw his age listed as 31 in 1861.

This George Barringer was captured by the Confederates at Nolinsville, Tenn.
and remained a prisoner for about a year. He either was released or
escaped. I get the feeling that he and a few others escaped. The War
Department sent him to a hospital in Murphysboro, Tenn for several months.
Finally, on Sept 5, 1863, he was transferred to the Invalid Corp. by the
order of the War Department. I am awaiting the rest of his record which
will pick up once he was in the Veteran's Invalid Corp. I am also awaiting
his Pension Records.

I think that this George b. 1831, could possibly be a son of my George
Barringer and Mary Shallenberger.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have more info on this man.

Thank you,
