<p>[QUOTE="elarnia, post: 3747410, member: 159"]RLM - I wouldn't rely on that 1862 muster out date. His record shows he was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on 5 Aug 1863 and transferred from unit F to unit B on 20 Feb 1864. Looks to me like he had an initial enlistment period from 26 May 1862 to 1 Sep 1862, then a second period from 07 Jul 1863 to 30 Sep 1864.
