Company D
William Scrimshaw - Private
William was originally assigned to Company D. However, at some point early into his time with Michigan 10th Infantry, Company D, William returned home (Sanilac County, Michigan) in December 1861, due to family issues & ended up shooting/killing his brother-in-law. He was found guilty & sentenced possibly to the newly formed Jackson Prison (in Jackson, Michigan).
William received a pardon from prison in November 1863 & was immediately sent back to the Civil War - but this time as part of Michigan 10th Infantry Company H. It's very possible that his last name was misspelled as Schrimshaw, Grimsong or Grimshaw... I have not been able to find much about what might have happened during his short time in Company H. I do know that in October 1869 William was (apparently directly after his time with Company H) sent by the military to MALDEN LUNATIC ASYLUM in Ontario, Canada. William Scrimshaw died in the London Asylum in Ontario Canada in 1881.
His wife, Naomi, never saw him after he murdered her sisters husband.
I am still searching for any information I can acquire on William &/or Naomi Scrimshaw.
