He was born in Derry, NH but served to the credit of Newburyport, MA and was the first man from there to die in the war in 1862 (after Malvern Hill) of typhoid fever. Unfortunately a great aunt sold all pictures of him along with the family bible.

Thomas L. Cahill was my gr-gr-grandfather and fought for 3 years with the 11th Mass. After the war he went on to serve as a member of the Boston Police Department in East Boston for over 20 years. He appears to have been an active member of the 11th Mass Infantry's Veteran's Association. He died circa 1896 leaving behind a large family with many descendents alive today 2010.
