Dear Ms. DeDonato,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog for anyone in the 17th Infantry, Company G from Connecticut and found 174 file units from the series Indexes to the Carded Records of Soldiers Who Served in Volunteer Organizations During the Civil War, 1899 - 1927 in Record Group 94. We hope your great-grandfather is listed.
We also suggest that you conduct a search of the Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR) in the Catalog and the pension files for him as well via the National Archives at Washington, DC (RDT1). Please contact RDT1 using their email address. These records are also available on ancestry.com and/or familysearch.org.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

Dear Ms. DeDonato,
The information you are looking for should be in the soldier's pension file. His pension index form is attached in case you need it for your records. Also, if you submit for the pension, make sure to send it in electronically (the hyperlink near the top of the form) as we are not receiving requests via paper form/snail mail right now.
Bryan
