8th Ind. Infantry Rgt.
This regiment was organized for the three months' service at Indianapolis, in April, 1861 and mustered in April 25. It left the state on June 19 and moved to Clarksburg, WVa. then to Buckhannon, W. Va., where it was assigned to BrigGen. W. S. Rosecrans' brigade. It participated in the Juy 11, 1861 battle of Rich Mountain, WVa. and then went into camp at Beverly, WVa. It was mustered out at Indianapolis, Aug. 2 or 6, 1861.

Nov. 17, 1879 applied for a pension (application #322278/certificate #313071)
Nov. 12, 1916 died at Greenfield, Ind.
NOTE: Pension Index card states he served in Company I, 8th Ind. Infantry Rgt. That is the only inconsistency I found.
ALSO I assume the earliest George could have joined the 38th Ind. Infantry was at Savannah. He was drafted Nov. 21 and the regiment was already on the move from Atlanta to Savannah with Sherman's army which had to contact with other Union forces until it reached Savannah.
