- Subject: John Tanner buried in
Goodleberg Cemetery, Wales
-
- In your file:
- https://members.tripod.com/~wnyroots/index-wales-vet-gb.html
- I find a John Tanner who is listed as
having been a veteran in the 12th NY Cavalry (Civil War).
- Could there be some error in your
data?
- Although there was a John Tanner in the
12th NY Cavalry, he died of
- disease in 1864.
- HIS full entry from the AGO report
is:
- TANNER, JOHN. - Age, 30 years. Enlisted,
January 19, 1863, at Buffalo;
- mustered in as corporal, Co. F, January
19, 1863, to serve three years;
- transferred to Co. E, May 20, 1863,
reduced, same date; died of disease,
- October 5, 1864, in hospital at New
Berne, N.C.
-
- Clearly these two are not the same
person.
-
- My first thought is that someone has
made the very common error of
- confusing the 12th CAVALRY with the 12th
INFANTRY.
-
- I would be grateful for any light you
can shed on this question.
-
- Kenneth Wooster
- http://snycorva.cortland.edu/~woosterk/12cav.html
-
-
- It is all still a mystery to me. I lean
toward the opinion that the funeral director, Floyd J. Balthasar,
who compiled the list in 1940 was
more likely to have made an error in the unit affiliation of the
John Tanner who is buried in Goodelberg Cemetery than was
the
- Adjutant-General's Office Report in the
death of the John Tanner of the 12th Cavalry in a military
hospital in New Berne in 1864.
- The birthdate of one and the age at the
time of enlistment of the other also signals to me that they were
almost certainly two different people.
- And so either the AGO report omitted the
John Tanner buried in Erie County or his unit affiliation was
incorrectly recorded by Balthasar.
- Since I don't have a personal
genealogical interest in either John Tanner but am interested
mainly in keeping my web page for the
- 12th NY Cavalry as complete and accurate
as possible, my intended route is to be upfront about it and list
this Goodelberg Cemetery
- John Tanner in my list of those that the
AGO may possibly have overlooked, giving details of his birth,
death, burial place, etc.
- I want neither to overlook him if he
deserves to be there nor to append his name to an official list if
he does not.
