Looking for information regarding Pvt. George Painter

Beverly Kerr Jul 12, 2019 11:41 AM

Can you give me information regarding Pvt. George Painter who served in the Mississippi Marine Brigade in 1863-64? What hospital was he in before he was inducted into the M.M.B.? He died in 1864 and is buried in Vicksburg. What was the cause of his death - sickness or battle wound? I would like to know the cause of his death as well as any other information available.

Beverly,

He is shown from burial record that he was with Co D. Mississippi Marine Brigade. Might be on the a hospital rolls if he was transferred their for injury related to the war.

Thanks,

Elliot Schneider

  Thanks, that was a great idea. I'll try that route since he was buried in Vicksburg there shouldn't have been too many hospitals in that area at the time. I appreciate all suggestions.
