General Notes: Husband - Seth S. Dorchester

---

In 1862 he enlisted in the three months' service with the Army of the Potomac, and on March 7, 1864, he again enlisted, on this occasion, in Company I, Second Pennsylvania Cavalry, also with the Army of the Potomac. He was in the battle of Todd's Tavern four days, and was there wounded, May 7, 1864, through the right thigh. He remained in hospital until he returned to his regiment about August 15, 1864; then participated in the battles of Ream's Station, Wyatt House (two days), Boydtown Plank Road, Stony Creek, through the entire siege of Petersburg, and finally at Lee's surrender, serving in all about twenty-one months. He was honorably discharged in July, 1865. He was owner of seventy-five acres of land, which he moved on to at the close of the war; this he cleared and improved, and it became a fine farm. In politics he was a Republican. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
