Company G
Thomas Reed
- Corporal
Thomas was killed in action December 13, 1862 at the battle of Fredricksburg. I have been told that there is an entry for him in the Adjutant-General of New York's 1900 annual report, which lists all the casualties of the 40th NY Infantry, but I have been unable to locate this document. After talking to a staff historian at the park, I'm sure that he is more than likely buried in the National Military Park at Fredricksburg And Spotsylvania, although he is buried in an unmarked grave due to the massive number of Union casualties in that battle.
