Simmers in the Civil War
(updated April 11, 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.
