Simmers in the Civil War
(updated April 16, 2001)
This is a list of Simmers that served in the Civil War. Most of the Pennsylvania information has been derived from the Samuel P. Bates reference books. There is confusion with names and other information which reflects the record keeping of the times. I plan to consolidate this, combining obvious duplicate entries and will try to tie the soldiers to families.
Name variations are shown under Alt. name. The name is not part of the official record where the name is in Green.
The family in Blue is the E-Mail address to the person providing information on the soldier.
To request forms for copies of records, send an E-Mail to:
inquire@nara.gov
The available forms are listed below.
The numbers and subjects of these forms are as follows:
Form 85 (Military pension records prior to the Spanish-American War, including the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, the Mexican War, Civil War, and the Spanish-American War, and Bounty land warrant application files)
Form 86 (Military service records prior to World War I, including the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, the Mexican War, Civil War, and the Spanish-American War)
·
Important: Please remember to include:
1. the FORM NUMBER
2. the QUANTITY needed
3. YOUR NAME and POSTAL MAILING ADDRESS
There is a limit of 5 forms of each kind per order for individual customers. If you are writing on behalf of an organization or institution, reasonable exceptions to this limitation can be made.
While we try to fill orders within 10 business days, sometimes the number of inquiries is too great to do so. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
If your initial message included all of the above information, your order will be filled and you do not need to do anything further.
