Dear Mr. Mansfield,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located Papers Relating to Female Nurses in the Civil War, 1861 – 1865 in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1764-1917 (Record Group 94) that includes applications, discharges, and other papers concerning the service of female nurses employed by the War Department during the Civil War. This series is indexed by the series Index to Papers Relating to Female Nurses in the Civil War, 1861 - 1865 in Record Group 94. We also located Carded Medical Statements of Hospital Attendants, Matrons and Nurses, 1861 - 1865 in Record Group 94 that may include her. For more information about these records please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at Archives1reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1.

In addition, you may wish to contact the US Army Medical Department Office of Medical History and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine for information about Civil War era nursing.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
