ported from Point Lookout, the southern
extremity of Maryland. to Elmira. N. Y,
going by boat to New York city and
thence by rail to Elmira.
In those days there was no railroad
through this section and no postofice at

the houses stood on the site now occupied
by the store of S. T. Wiley and was own
ed by Wake Richardson, the other, which
Is still standing was owned by Jeremiah
Gatchell, and Is on the right hand side of
the road leading under the railroad to
Mt. Pleasant.

Baltimore to enlist on Aug. is, 1862, and
was enrolled as member of Co. G, Sixth
Maryland Regt. The Captain of the Com
pany was John S. Christie. of Rowland
vile. father of George Christie. who en-
listed at the same time. VIM. ]. Grant,
of Cherry Hill, was First Lieutenant of
the Company. and Harvey Jack. of Lib
erty Grove, Second Lieutenant
Mr.. Moore was discharged on the 9th

was paid off on the nth, starting i'm
mediately for home. He would be glad
to hear from any of the old soldiers,
