Also that at Fairfax Courthouse in 1862 he was taken sick with Typhoid Fever which has also helped to contribute to his physical disability.'

Philadelphia & remained nearly a year in 1862 & 1863. Thence to Chestnut (hard to read that word - may be 'Chester' instead) Hill Philadelphia. Thence to Fort Schuylar.

Thomas H. Davenport was my ggrandfather. He fought with Company E of the 120th New York Infantry. Evidently he survived well the many battles that the company went through and lived to get married, have five children, and live til age 78. Would love to know more about his life in the 120th.
